Clutch slipping? Bite point at the top? I replace the full kit in your driveway — saves you the tow alone.
A worn clutch doesn't fail instantly — it gives you warnings. The bite point creeps up. The engine revs high before the car moves. You smell it in traffic. When you're at that stage, the clutch is done. Driving on it longer just risks leaving you completely stuck somewhere.
Yes, I do clutch replacements mobile. It's one of the bigger on-site jobs but with the right transmission jack and a flat driveway, it's completely doable. I've done them in driveways across the GTA.
Pressure plate, friction disc, throw-out bearing — always the full kit, never just one piece. Subaru WRX clutch kits go through a lot of abuse; I use proper OEM-spec units, not budget parts that'll slip again in 30,000 km.
$600–$1,500Scored or heat-cracked flywheels cause chatter and incomplete engagement. VW GTI dual-mass flywheels are expensive — I'll tell you honestly whether it needs replacement or can be resurfaced.
$200–$600Soft or sinking pedal with a good clutch disc? Master or slave cylinder could be leaking. Replaced and bled on-site. Honda Civic Si hydraulic slave cylinders are a common failure point.
$150–$400Older cable-actuated clutches — stretched or broken cables replaced on the spot. Fraying cable is a warning, snapped cable means you're not moving.
$100–$250A car with a dead clutch can't be driven to a shop. That tow costs $150–250 before you even get there. I come to you, do the job in your driveway, and you save the tow. The total bill is usually less than shop + tow combined.
The number one mistake people make is waiting too long. A slipping clutch doesn't fix itself — it gets worse progressively, and if you push it until it completely fails, you might damage the flywheel and turn a $700 job into a $1,200 one.
Subaru WRX owners: the factory clutch on older WRXs is weak for the torque the engine puts out, especially if it's been tuned. I use a proper upgraded OEM-equivalent kit, not cheap blanks. VW GTI dual-mass flywheel replacement is expensive but necessary — if you replace the clutch without the DMF on a worn one, you'll feel the chatter immediately. Honda Civic Si hydraulic slave cylinders are internal to the transmission on some years — call me before assuming the clutch disc itself is the problem.
After a clutch job, there's a short break-in period. I'll walk you through it. Easy on the clutch for the first 500 km — don't slip it on hills or do aggressive launches.
Stuck at home with a dead clutch? I come to you. No tow needed. Available 24/7 across the GTA.
