Complete new clutch... How much!!??

Been quoted Â£230 (+VAT) for a complete clutch fitted by a good independent Volvo specialist.

Is this a fair price or should I be ringing round? Not sure if it's worth the saving of going to one of the big clutch centres.

Cheers

that's not a bad price, clutch is bout Â£100 n i'd personally charge bout Â£120 to do it.

it is a volvo specialist so i'd take my chance there than giving to an apprentice at the local 'general' garage.

64 quid from GSF.....

unless its the turbo that is, then a bit more expensive for later ones

i would say about 100 to fit too......shouldnt be more than 3-4 hours jobs
it aint that hard to do it yourself....i paid someone to do my first one, and then did the next one myself!

Dont think Â£230 + vat is that bad, but still shop around might be cheaper to buy a clutch seperate then get a garage to fit it like Robkendall said GSF etc is a good place to start.....

......Reminds me my clutch is on its way out, it on max adjustment and is slipping again. Had an AA guy look at it when i broke down said it would not last must longer......... 3000 mile later still hanging on, (saying that will give it the kiss of death now) Better start saving

Doesn't say which one though, 200 or 215mm. Says fits all but that's obviously bull!
