Great customer service
I phoned up on a bank holiday weekend as the clutch had gone on my car and they were more than happy to help. The staff were lovely and made me feel very comfortable as a young girl with car trouble going to the mechanics lol. They fixed my car very quickly. I'd definitely recommend.
Our Kia Carens was suffering with…
Our Kia Carens was suffering with difficulty engaging gear, AA callout diagnosed clutch bearing failing. Rang a couple of garages in our area and was advised to book with A1 at Derby. Booking with Tony was nice and easy. Price was really reasonable considering the work to change any clutch. The external slave cylinder had also failed on the vehicle, but Tony rang us to ask before they changed which I appreciated. All in all was left for just over a day and car is good as new. Thanks Tony and the team for such great service.
5 star clutch replacement
On the evening of Wednesday 2.7.25 i broke down in the centre of Birmingham, come the afternoon of Thursday 3.7.25 i was finally collected and my car dropped off at A1 in Derby. After the terrible experience of being with my car all night, A1 repaired my car on the Friday which was such a relief. Sensational service and fabulous comminications. ***** rated

Had a gearbox & clutch replaced at cost of £1500. Picked my vehicle up and noticed a whistling sound, when I got home rang there office, they told me to bring it back to inspect. I decided to lift the bonnet myself and noticed the air intake pipe was not connected or fixed in place ! Still the same took it back they said everything was fine. Took it to another garage, they immediately found that a Intercooler pipe had been damaged which was fixed to the gearbox. A1 clutches denied it there doing, although they agreed to replace the hose after my persistence. They kept on insisting it was already damaged which it definitely wasn’t. Very shoddy workmanship. Would never used them again !!
Highly recommended
Highly recommended, they are honest about their work.they don’t charged extra and deal with customers very nicely.Great job Mrs Tony.
Knew what problem was straight away
Knew what problem was straight away, gave me a price and a time and that was it, true to his word, it was done in a day. Brilliant
Excellent service
Cannot fault the work or customer service at the Cannock centre. Had an issue with my clutch that turned out to be a less than straightforward fix in the end, but they persevered and were professional and transparent throughout. Highly recommend!
Great fast service.
Great fast service And was best on price by far I rang lots of garages to compare quotes a lot of garages wouldn’t take on the work because I have an Audi a5 and apparently it’s very difficult to do. A1 didn’t even hesitate. I rang on the Thursday was booked in on the Friday and picked it up early Saturday. I know it’s not very often your clutch goes but in future I’ll definitely be taking it here again I’d highly recommend. Great job!!
Excellent work and service
Excellent work and service. My Daughter was without her car for work and A1 clutches although fully booked for the next 10 days asked us to bring the car to them and they would do their best to fit the new clutch asap. They did just that , and telephoned us within 2 days to say the car was ready for collection. One very happy Daighter and the price could not be beaten. Highly recommend.

A1 Birmingham were able to offer an appointment at short notice and replace clutch and front brake pads at around half the cost quoted by the dealership. Really easy to deal with, efficient, friendly and effective. My car is driving smoothly again 👍🏼

Alfa Giulietta Clutch and DM Flywheel
Following an Alfa dealer quote of £2600 for my Giulietta 170tdi clutch and DM flywheel, A1 clutches at Cannock quoted £1165, and had been recommended by two friends.
Excellent service, was able to drop the car off while I went on holiday and was collected the day I returned.
Great, friendly, service, stuck to quoted price. Well Recommended.
