Hi all

just after a bit of advice,

My partners little golf's Clutch has started to slip and as im not a fully fledged DIY mechanic im looking at quotes from some local Garages and to be honest im HUGELY SHOCKED at the moment, i have had 3 quotes so far and they have all been around £300 inc clutch is this quote about right or way to expensive. I have only tried local garages but can anyone recommend a any where i am based in Trowbridge, Wiltshire

Well the parts are around 80 to 100 quid and the rest is Labour.
Would say that sounds about right as it is a fair amount of work.

Dont forget this guy is in the depths of mid Wiltshire! Those guys in the sticks like to charge!
