    Looking for Reputable Garage in Manchester

    Hi all, i need my clutch replacing and was wandering wether there are any decent specialists in the northwest/manchester area that you could recomend. Could you also give me a rough idea as to how much I should be paying for the job.

    Cheers

    Its quite a big job to do, easy on the 3B than the ABY from what ive been told. Your probably looking at about 250-500 labour plus parts at a guess.

        I know some garages for classic cars but not Audis In Manchester.

        There is a good gearbox company but they are always very busy. I don't know if they do clutches.

        One place that has a good reputation and is easy enough to get to is Central VW Audi. They are in Ellesmere Port ( 30 mins from Manchester). They know their stuff and do lots on Audi Quattros. www.centralvwaudi.com when I visited they were fitting a 6 speed box from an Audi 100 /S4 into a UR quattro. They also make tubular exhausts for the 20v turbo engines.

        They are very knowledgeable and friendly. Tim is the man for the Audi work.

        No connection with garage but I have bought from them in the past.

            I live on the south side of Manchester and the only person I know is Dave Mc Coll in Woodford. 0161-439-5698 may be worth a contact. Fantastic engineer and he is fully Bosch equipped. Mine will be going down there for a tune when it's back on the road.
