Excellent service from Cannock branch

Excellent service from Cannock branch. They diagnosed, evaluated and fixed my Sprinter in just 3 hours! The price for the job was reasonable too.
It's a shame they only do clutch, gearbox and flywheel related jobs. I'd like to visit them every time I need to fix my van.

Thank you very much.

I honestly couldn’t recommend A1 Clutches highly enough. From my very first phone call, they were extremely friendly, welcoming and reassuring.

As a woman, I can find taking a car into a garage quite anxiety-provoking, especially when it involves a significant repair, but they immediately put me at ease. I was given an exact price for the work beforehand, and that was exactly what I paid on collection — no unexpected costs or surprises.

The work was completed within the timeframe they had given me, and they even saved the old parts so that I could see and photograph them when I collected the car.

The whole experience from start to finish was exceptional. Friendly, honest, transparent and professional, and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. I would highly recommend A1 Clutches to anyone needing specialist clutch work. Thank you!

Great Service

Called on a Monday for price and availability for a clutch and fly wheel, availability on the following day, kept me informed of essential information. Collected on the Wednesday as promised. Competitive prices. Very happy with the service.

Most trustworthy people

A1 Clutches in Cannock is always professional,friendly and very fair priced. Jobs completed very efficiently and with a short waiting time,compare to other garages I have tried in the past. Any mechanical problems my car has I only trust A1 to deal with. I am a returning customer and I have never been disappointed with their service. If my Mazda could talk she would praised them for the new clutch they fitted.

Didn’t want transmission fluid change but sent me a video with it in a bucket now it’s contaminated.
So instead of costing me £26.98 for 2 bottles of correct fluid they charge £80.
Kept banging on about putting petrol in curt car when once is enough.this explains my 3 ⭐ rating
Maybe some training required
but the owner has nice hair

My clutch failed on Wednesday and every other company I tried either wouldn’t be able to fix it for me or I was told it would be at-least a month until I got my car back. I was recommended A1 Clutches by another garage and had my car back and working normally by Friday! The service was very friendly and the work was fairly priced. I would recommend this company and will be using them for any future clutch issues.

I am so impressed with Tony and his team at the Derby branch!

My clutch failed on Monday afternoon and I was a bit frantic. One quick call and I was booked in for the Thursday / Friday, with a tow scheduled to get my car in safely.

Easiest and most efficient tow ever on the Thursday afternoon and before it was even mid-day on Friday, Tony was calling to confirm the work was done!

My car drives like a dream now - gear changes so delicious I considered taking the long route back home!

The whole team are kind, efficient, and clearly know their stuff! I felt so comfortable with them the whole time!

I cannot recommend A1 enough - thank you for getting us back on the road so quickly and smoothly!

Emergency help in Derby!

I broke down on the outskirts of Derby, heading for Yorkshire, and suspected the clutch on my Corsa needed replacing. After talking to one or two smaller garages locally who were too busy to fit me in, I was recommended to call A1 Clutches. I did, and spoke to Tony, who got me to bring the car in straightaway and he rearranged a few things in the workshop so that they could fix my car and get me back on the road. I was on my way to the M1 by 4pm, having dropped it off around 2.30pm. They saved me!

We are SO impressed by this company

We are SO impressed by this company. From the first call to the end result, they were honest, transparent and the customer service was amazing.
I called, got a quote within half an hour, booked my car in. Some extra work needed doing once clutch was stripped back and they sent me a video explaining why. Following up with a phone call to explain and to ask if I approved the extra work. Offered me a car to drive whilst mine was in, made us a coffee while we dropped the car off… I have nothing but good things to say about this company and I highly recommend them. Thank you all for helping me and fitting me. My family and I can go away on Monday now all thanks to you!!! Amazing service. Much appreciated
