High-mileage working cars, fewer surprises
Plenty of Tunstall drivers rely on their cars for work, whether that means shifts, deliveries or getting out to a job site. When a car is used that hard, the clutch goes through a huge number of cycles, and a failure hits your income as well as your convenience. Early checks are far better than breaking down.
DB Autos is an AA Approved, family-run garage in Stoke-on-Trent, and we diagnose before we recommend. That means looking at the clutch plate, pressure plate, release bearing and the hydraulics or cable, then telling you what we found. You approve the work, and we carry out nothing extra without your agreement. Everything we find is explained to you before any decision is made.
A car in daily working use builds up wear quickly, and the clutch is one of the first components to show it. If you are driving long days from Tunstall, you may spot gear changes feeling notchy, the pedal feeling lower or higher than before, or a rattle when the engine idles. Some of these point to a dual-mass flywheel rather than the clutch plate alone, which is common on diesels and higher-torque cars, so an inspection matters. We do not want you losing working days to a surprise failure. Salem Street is 4 miles from Tunstall.
Clutch faults are diagnosed before anything is replaced, because not every symptom means a new clutch.

It can. A rattle, squeak or vibration may come from the flywheel, which is common on diesels and high-torque cars. We check it during diagnosis and explain what we find. Cars working long days may also need the flywheel assessed at the same visit, which we can explain.
If the clutch is slipping or gears are hard to select, sooner is better, as clutch faults tend to worsen. Ring 01782 844320 and describe the symptoms so we can advise. If you are working most days, the sooner we know the symptoms, the better we can plan around you.
Yes. We inspect and diagnose first, since not every symptom needs a new clutch. You then get a clear explanation and decide whether to go ahead. It is our usual approach on every car, so you will always know why a repair is proposed.
