Longer village runs and a clutch to watch
From the Cheshire village of Rode Heath, getting anywhere usually means a decent drive, whether to work, to the shops or for the school run. Those longer journeys put more miles on the car, and clutch wear follows the mileage. Slipping under power, an acrid smell or a pedal that no longer feels right all merit attention.
DB Autos handles clutch problems from drivers like you in Rode Heath with a careful, methodical approach. We go through the disc, clutch cover, thrust bearing and flywheel, then give you a straightforward explanation. A choice follows about whether to proceed, and nothing further is started until you have been asked. Questions are welcome, whether by phone or in person.
A longer drive for most errands means the car is likely to rack up mileage quickly, and the clutch will have met every roundabout, junction and queue along the way. People living further out sometimes put off a visit, because getting to the garage seems like an effort. That is understandable, but a slipping clutch can worsen without warning, and then the journey itself becomes the problem. Rode Heath is about 9 miles away, so arranging a day to leave the car works best for many customers.
Clutch faults are diagnosed before anything is replaced, because not every symptom means a new clutch.

Many customers find it is, because we explain everything clearly and stand behind the work with twelve months' cover on parts and labour. You can call 01782 844320 to talk it through first. Longer journeys give more time for small faults to grow, so it is worth checking.
Not necessarily. Mileage contributes to wear, but symptoms can also come from hydraulics, cables or the flywheel. We find which it is, so you approve only what is needed. Please ask what the repair involves before deciding.
Arrange it when you call. We inspect the clutch system and explain the findings before any repair work begins, and no add-ons are made without your sign-off. Bringing the car in on a quieter day often suits village drivers.
