i had a new clutch fitted recently, the price originally quoted didn't include the Duel Mass Flywheel & the slave cylinder, which bump the price up a lot, but saved £250 from other quotes from garages around Tavistock . Benn & Sons gave me a great service and very friendly family run garage. I did have to run the car back because there was an air pipe that had not been put back. Matt sorted it immediately a 10 min job and they gave me petrol money which was really fair of them. I would highly recommend this garage.
Absolutely brilliant service, very honest trustworthy and an overall great outcome on what could have been a very expensive issue. Matt the mechanic and the young lady assistant (sorry forget her name) where very professional and take great care of customer service. I recommend this small business to anyone. See you again guys.
Clutch, drop link and knock sensor replaced and nearly £300 cheaper than the big chain garages. Great service, gave me a lift once car dropped off and picked me up to collect. Even cleaned the car! Will return for sure.
Quick service. Very well priced. Would definitely recommend this garage and will be using again.

The majority of modern cars have air conditioning fitted as standard as it is vital for making the ride in a car comfortable for passengers.
An air conditioning system works by using refrigerant gas to push air through several components in the aircon system and then into your car.
Whether its freezing cold or boiling hot, it’s your air conditioning which makes driving in such conditions bearable, so it’s important to look after the system!
Surprisingly, over 10% of air-con gas escapes through the system each year. This means that the power of the system drops significantly over time. However, your air conditioning will not be checked during an MOT or service which is why it’s important that you make an effort to have it checked specifically.
Car manufacturers recommend that cars should have their air con recharged (Regassed) every two years.
Even if your car is new it should be something that you have checked as your cars performance could be significantly affected.
This is because the engine will have to work harder to produce cold air if there is an issue with the air conditioning meaning more fuel will be required to make the system work.
If the system has not been recharged in two years, the drop in engine performance will be noticeable.
As soon as you realise a drop in the power of your air con you should take the vehicle in for repair. If there is an unpleasant smell being emitted, this is another sign that the air con needs looking at.
The job of recharging air conditioning is not complex and will not take long.
The mechanic will carry out a leaks check on the air con system before the repair work, to ensure the job can be carried out without causing damage to the car.
As soon as this is complete, the technician will be able to recharge the system.
The mechanic carrying out the work will first remove old refrigerant from your car as well as the current gas and lubricant.
They will then replace it with new gas and lubricants.
The job will also typically include an entire system clean out which is carried out to remove any bacterial build up.
This is often the reason for a strange or unpleasant smell being emitted from the air conditioning which is why it is important to have this job completed every two years.
The whole process should take around 45 minutes as there are no new parts required for install.
The air conditioning in your car should be noticeably improved after a regas if you haven’t had one for over two years.
If you want to ensure your air conditioning stays in tip top condition, make sure to use it regularly as this the compressor will stay lubricated.
