Fix clutch issues before they get worse
Stop & Shift With Confidence
Brake and clutch systems take a beating over time, especially in stop-start traffic, long-distance driving, heavy towing or hilly terrain. These components are essential to your car’s overall safety and performance, but they often wear down gradually. If you’ve noticed squeaking, grinding, a spongy brake pedal, slow stopping, or gear changes that feel rough or delayed, it’s a clear sign something isn’t right. The sooner these issues are looked at, the less likely you’ll face larger repairs or a roadside breakdown.
We carry out full inspections and can replace worn brake pads, discs, drums, cylinders, hydraulic lines, clutches and more. We also check for fluid leaks, warped parts or signs of uneven wear that could affect how your car drives. Our workshop is equipped with modern tools and quality parts that match manufacturer standards, giving you peace of mind and long-term results.
FAQ
What are signs I need brake repairs?
Common signs include squeaking or grinding sounds, a soft or spongy brake pedal, vibration when braking, or your vehicle pulling to one side. These symptoms often point to worn brake pads, warped discs or hydraulic issues. It’s important to address brake problems quickly, as ignoring them can lead to longer stopping distances, increased wear on components and serious safety risks.
How long should a clutch last?
Clutch lifespan depends on driving style, conditions and vehicle type, but most clutches last between 80,000 and 150,000 kilometres. Frequent stop-start driving, towing, or riding the clutch can reduce its lifespan. Signs of a worn clutch include slipping, difficulty shifting gears, a burning smell or changes in pedal resistance. If you notice these symptoms, it’s best to get the system inspected.
Can I drive with worn brakes or clutch?
You can, but it’s not recommended. Driving with worn brakes reduces your stopping power and increases the risk of accidents. A failing clutch can leave you stuck in gear or unable to shift properly, which is dangerous in traffic. Early repairs are often more affordable and prevent further damage, so it’s best to address these issues as soon as possible.
