Today at R&L Motors we will be talking about why you should have your car inspected at least once every six months and why it’s important for your vehicle.
Although you may have an MOT Test once a year, that doesn’t mean that your car is always safe to drive and to be on the roads. We at R&L Motors we believe that you should treat your car like a family member of even your body and you should regularly bring it to a garage to have a check-up. This is to ensure that everything in your car works fine and if something is going faulty. If something does start to go faulty, it’s much cheaper and easier to fix the problem before it manifests and causes more issues for you.

If the answer is yes, then you may be pleased to know that here at R&L Motors we are considered as the best garage in the Widnes area, our expertly trained mechanics can conquer any vehicle fault and can have it up and running again for you.
We provide a number of services in the Widnes area including:
- Car Servicing: Do you need your vehicle serviced? We pride ourselves on the quality of our vehicle and car servicing, offering a fast and reliable service at far lower costs than a main dealer, without ever compromising on the work that we provide. We will carry out only the car repairs and service work that is required to make sure your car is running at its optimum. Unlike many other garages, we won’t tell you there’s another 50 something faults when you only wanted the one thing repairing, we are one of the few honest and trustworthy garages located in Widnes. Our car servicing is fully guaranteed and importantly does not affect your car’s warranty due to our using genuine parts as standard.
- Clutch Repairs: Have you noticed it’s a little harder to find the bite, change gears and just pulling off in general? There may be a problem with your clutch. Luckily we can repair this for you and have you on your way in no time at all. After a lot of heavy driving (and bad driving too), you will burn through your clutch, if it’s acting up, you will need to get it repaired ASAP as it’s one of the main parts in your vehicle. I have known a taxi driver who burns through clutches almost once a month (but that’s down to bad driving), if you’re unfortunate enough to have your clutch go on you, don’t worry our mechanics can fix it in no time at all!
- Exhaust Repairs: We offer all types of exhaust repairs and replacements for your vehicle. We are happy to give you a free exhaust check to make sure that you are not at risk of doing damage to your vehicle or even to yourself by driving with a faulty exhaust, as the fumes from the engine won’t have an easy way to escape from your vehicle and these fumes are poisonous.
- Brake Repairs: Have you noticed that slowing down is much harder than it should be, even if you’re only driving in second or third gear? Then there is something wrong with your brakes and you need to get them repaired ASAP. Faulty brakes, including brake lights are dangerous and makes your vehicle be classed as illegal on the roads. You won’t be able to slow down for traffic, pedestrians and corners and bends, this is putting you, other drivers, pedestrians and your passengers in danger. Luckily our mechanics can repair and even replace brake systems for you, so you can be back on the roads in no time at all!
- Tyres: We offer a full range of new and even used (pre-owned) tyres for your vehicle. We are happy to give you a free tyre safety check to make sure that you are legally. We offer a number of different types of tyres, from standard road tyres, tyres with extra grip on them and even tyres built for driving on icy roads and snow, these are especially good for the winter season when we don’t know what the weather will be like in a few hours. Our mechanics can replace your tyres in no time at all and you can be sure that you’ll be back on the roads safely soon!
- MOT Repairs: This service is for when you have already took your vehicle to be tested for its MOT at a registered MOT Centre, but the prices that they have asked you to pay for the repairs seem too unfair to you. Almost all of the time, we can beat the prices that most MOT Centres charge and you can even ring us up after your MOT to tell us what’s gone wrong with your vehicle and we’ll quote you there and then, and we’ll tell you if the price they’re asking for is an acceptable price or if they’re just trying to swindle extra money out of your pocket. Our MOT Repairs is one of our most prized services and it is available to everyone located in Widnes.
- Classic Vehicle Restoration: This service is fantastic if you own a classic car, bike, scooter, van or even truck. We basically re-build the vehicle so that it is restored back into what it used to look like in its days of glory. If the paintwork or even interior of your vehicle is damaged due to age, then bring it down and we can make it look and work like how it would have when it first came out of its factory many years ago. This service however can take a while, but we will keep you updated with photos of each step of the process so you can see your prised vehicle slowly come back to life.

Here at R&L Motors we will be discussing today, on how you can tell if the clutch in your vehicle is faulty or is starting to fail due to either bad driving or age. The clutch in is one of the most important parts as it gets the big heap of metal moving from a stop and without it, your car probably wouldn’t move. Clutches can be damaged due to bad driving or due to age, there have been cases that I have heard of where a Taxi driver goes through a new clutch a month due to bad driving! Although when a clutch breaks, it’s not a simple fix, it is connected from the cabin to the engine and this means when one does break, to find the issue the whole front of the car needs taking out.
Things to look out for on a clutch that may be slowly failing:
- Unusual clunky noise when using the clutch pedal? This is when the clutch is close to failing and you will need to bring it into a garage ASAP!
- The vehicle finds it harder to gain speed or random drops in speed? This is also another issue you need to look out for, many would assume it’s something to do with the engine or the gas pedal itself, but this is a sign that your clutch may be failing.
- Have you noticed its harder to change gears (both up and down)? This is one of the signs that the clutch may be starting to fail, because the clutch is used in every gear change you make.

Clutch Replacement Widnes in Halton
In most situations a vehicles clutch will have to be replaced at least once in its lifespan. Although I have heard cases of were a Taxi driver has burned through a clutch once a month, which is very bad and is probably caused by bad driving. The technicians and mechanics are on hand to help with all clutch issues whether it is just an inspection, repair or a full replacement.
We provide clutch repairs for Widnes Halton that are prompt and inexpensive.
Over time clutches can become worn and burn out or they may even not work at their best. Putting strain on the clutch is also caused by certain drivers who ride on the clutch and use a lot of throttle. This in turn lowers the lifespan of the clutch.
Other explanations for clutch problems include:
- Air in the hydraulic line
- Broken clutch cable
- Master clutch cylinder leaks
- Mismatched clutch parts (from another garage)
If a clutch replacement or repair is required in Widnes, our team will only use an OEM or manufacturer approved parts that are suitable for your precise car model. It is important when enquiring with our team that you provide us your vehicle brand and model so we can offer assistance much more quickly and without any issues popping up.

Clutch Repairs FAQ with R&L Motors – Widnes’ Clutch Repair Experts
Here at R&L Motors we are experts in all things related to vehicle repairs and servicing. We get asked quite a lot of questions relating to Clutch Repairs, such as how long they take and even how to notice when a clutch is at the end of its lifespan. Obviously because the clutch is one of the most required parts in the vehicle, once it does break, you will need it repairing/replacing ASAP, the following link shows a few of the rules you are meant to follow when on the roads: Click here
How can I tell if I need my clutch replacing or repairing?
Below are some common signs that you might notice and if you do, you need a new clutch fitted. The signs include:
- Changing gears is harder than it usually is or should be
- There’s a grinding sound when you change gears (both up and down)
- You can increase the revs in the engine, but your car barely increases in speed (this can be dangerous if you’re planning on using motorways or you use them often)
- Engine revs climb or fall seemingly at random
- The clutch may seem to ‘slip’ causing a loss of acceleration, or a complete loss of drive or you may result in stalling the car fully.
How much does car clutch replacement cost?
The cost of clutch replacement varies depending on the nature of the problem and the model of car you’re driving. Our expert clutch fitters will let you know what we need to do and how much it will cost before we start work. Sometimes it’s just the clutch pads that need replacing and these won’t cost you as much as a brand new clutch.
We only ever use quality parts:
We only ever use parts that match manufacturers’ original specification for clutch fitting. We never use cheap clutches that are prone to problems like some dealers do. We do it this way so that you shouldn’t be having any more problems with the replaced part for a good while.
Can I get a quote online?
We make sure you only pay for the work you need. This means we can’t advise you of clutch fitting prices online – we need to carry out a thorough inspection of your vehicle’s clutch system so we can give you a fair and accurate quote based on the problem that needs solving. This is because the clutch is quite a complicated piece of your vehicle and expands from the interior of the car through to the engine itself.
