Compare Mercedes clutch repair quotes from specialist garages

In 1886, Karl Benz - the founder of Mercedes Benz - introduced what is often considered the first petrol-powered car to the world. The Benz Patent Motor Car was born, and with it began a legacy that continues today.

Style, luxury and innovation are the driving forces behind Mercedes. Not only was it one of the first car manufacturers to put brakes and suspension on all four wheels, but it was also the first to introduce safety crumple zones.

Cars by Mercedes have appeared on the big screen numerous times, from the S-Class used by Jason Statham in The Transporter to escape a gunfight to the 1969 280 SE Convertible driven by Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones's Diary.

The clutch in your car can last up to 150,000 miles, although this distance is affected by your driving style. If you don't change gears smoothly, the clutch will deteriorate until you may have to consider booking a clutch repair.

Booking a clutch and gearbox repair together is common since these parts go hand in hand. Unfortunately, when you notice your clutch slipping, this means the clutch plate has been worn down. You cannot repair it; instead, it must be replaced.

You could buy a new clutch and have a clutch specialist fit it for you, but it's best to get an expert opinion first.

A clutch repair or replacement will usually take several hours as it is a notoriously big job. Drivers often worry about the price, but that's what FixMyCar is here for; we can help you find an affordable clutch centre or book a mobile clutch repair.
