Clutch Replacement Dublin – Honest, Professional Service in Tallaght
If your clutch is slipping, stiff, or hard to engage – don’t leave it too late. At Michael and Sons Auto Service, we provide reliable and affordable clutch replacement services in Dublin for all car makes and models.
Our Tallaght-based garage has helped drivers across South and West Dublin get back on the road with fully functioning clutches – without the stress, upselling, or guesswork you might get elsewhere.
How to Know If Your Clutch Needs Replacing
Your clutch doesn’t usually fail all at once – it wears down slowly over time. Watch out for these common signs that your clutch is on the way out:
- Slipping: The engine revs but you’re not gaining speed like you should
- Difficulty Changing Gears: Especially into 1st or reverse
- Car Shudders or Jerks: When pulling off or accelerating
- Spongy or Stiff Clutch Pedal: Hard to press or goes soft
- Grinding or Squealing Noises: When pressing the clutch
- Burning Smell: Especially in traffic or after hill starts
If you’re seeing any of these – or if it just “doesn’t feel right” – pop in for a clutch check in Dublin. We’ll take a look and let you know if it needs replacing or just adjusting.

What’s Included in Our Clutch Replacement Service
At Michael and Sons, we offer complete clutch services using OE-spec or high-quality aftermarket parts. Here’s what we typically replace:
- Clutch plate
- Pressure plate
- Release bearing
- Flywheel inspection (or replacement if needed)
- Gearbox check and fluid top-up
- Test drive and performance check
We explain everything before we start, and if it’s just a minor issue (like fluid or cable adjustment), we won’t try to upsell a full replacement.

- VW, Audi, Skoda, SEAT
- Ford, Opel, Peugeot, Renault
- Toyota, Honda, Hyundai, Kia

Clutch Replacement Costs – What to Expect
The cost depends on your car’s make and model. Smaller hatchbacks (like a Ford Fiesta or VW Polo) will cost less than larger cars or vans.
Typical clutch replacement prices in Dublin range from:
- €450–€700 for small cars
- €650–€900 for larger vehicles
- Dual-mass flywheel replacements (if needed) may cost extra
We’ll always give you a proper quote upfront, with labour and parts included – and we’ll ring you before doing any additional work.
