Clutch Repairs in Bletchingley and the Surrounding Surrey Area | The Dependable Local Garage in Godstone
The transmission system of your car or LCV transfers the engine power to the driveshaft and the differential to turn wheels. Any changes to the transmission ratio vary the direction, speed and torque. A high torque enables you to pull away from a stationary position. The system itself consists of multiple parts, components and cables, all of which will wear down over time. Drivers will eventually notice unusual noises and a change in driving characteristics.
DD Services Ltd is the trusted local garage for clutch repairs and transmission services. With a workshop located in Godstone, we offer services to motorists from all sectors in the surrounding Surrey area including Bletchingley.
If you suspect a problem with your clutch system or with the gearbox, call us today or pop into our garage and talk to one of our friendly technicians. We would be happy to perform an initial inspection of your vehicle, and to provide you with clutch repairs or replacements at a very competitive price.

Prolonging Clutch Life
The way you drive will have a noticeable impact on the performance of the transmission system and the frequency of clutch repairs and replacements. A clutch has a life expectancy of between 30,000 and 60,000 miles. Friction causes all clutches to wear down eventually, but you can have a significant impact on component life by following little more than a few basic steps.
These steps include:
- Never resting your foot on the clutch pedal when driving
- Never leaving your foot on the clutch when stationary
- Never overusing the clutch when making hill starts
- Never slipping the clutch deliberately to avoid gear changes
- Always releasing the handbrake gradually as you lift the clutch
- Always making sure there is a little free play in the clutch pedal
- Always making sure the reservoir is full on hydraulic clutch systems
