Clutch Repair cost in the UK
£400–£1,200 per job. Typically £700.
Labour is most of a clutch bill, because the gearbox usually has to come out. In the UK a clutch repair costs £400–£1,200 per job, typically about £700; a small hatchback is cheapest, and a dual-mass flywheel, a premium car or a dual-clutch gearbox costs the most.

What moves the price
- Gearbox removal — reaching the clutch usually means taking the gearbox off, and those hours drive the bill
- Dual-mass flywheel — many diesels have one, and replacing it with the clutch adds hundreds
- Clutch type — a dual-clutch automatic gearbox costs far more to repair than a single-plate clutch
- Make and model — premium and performance cars use dearer clutch kits and take longer to strip
- Release bearing and hydraulics — a concentric slave cylinder is usually replaced at the same time
- Garage and region — main dealers and garages in London and the South East charge more for clutch labour
Vehicle maintenance prices in the UK are up 38% over five years (ONS Consumer Price Inflation, Maintenance and repairs, to 2026 August). Five years ago a typical clutch repair would have cost about £510 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: ONS MM23 D7ED →

How to pay less
- Ask whether the flywheel really needs replacing with the clutch, or can be checked and reused
- Compare an independent garage clutch quote with the main dealer price for the same clutch kit
- Avoid riding the clutch or holding the car on it at junctions, which wears the friction plate
Before you book
- Ask for the clutch quote to say whether the flywheel and slave cylinder are included
- Check how long the warranty on the clutch parts and labour lasts
- Ask the garage to keep the old clutch parts so you can see the wear
- Arrange a courtesy car or lift, as a clutch job usually keeps the car in for a full day
Clutch Repair cost: questions people ask
£400–£1,200 per job, typically about £700. A clutch kit on a small petrol car costs the least; a clutch and dual-mass flywheel on a premium diesel costs the most.
Four to eight hours in the workshop, so most garages keep the car for the day.
Under the Consumer Rights Act, a garage must do the work with reasonable care and skill. If it does not, you can ask for the job to be put right or for some money back.
No. A solid flywheel can often be reused, but a worn dual-mass flywheel should be replaced, as it can damage the new clutch.
Gearbox rebuilds, engine mounts and a flywheel that was not in the quote are extra, so check the wording before you agree.
