I had a new clutch put in my van and it only lasted 5 months. When I brought it back to mr clutch as the clutch was still under warranty. (The warranty is not worth the paper it is written on) When I brought my van back to them the branch manager Andy went to inspect it, he came back without even looking at it and said it was my gearbox which I knew it wasn’t. I then brought my van to a different garage to get a second opinion, the different garage inspected my van property, even took my van on a road test, they advised me that it was my clutch release bearing and not my gearbox. I brought my van back to mr clutch and they said they would strip my van down and if it was my clutch they would fix it but if it was my gearbox which I knew it wasn’t I would have to pay £200. I agreed as I knew it was my clutch and not my gearbox. I then got a call from Andy saying it was my gearbox. I went back to mr clutch (mr rip off) to see how it was the gearbox. The gearbox was half in gear so when they span the gear spindle it would make a grinding sound, when I asked Andy to lower my van so I could make sure it was in neutral he got abrupt and said it is in neutral. I asked again and got told no, I knew from that point that it wasn’t in neutral and they were just trying to rip me off again. I took a short video of the noise to show a different garage to see what they thought, they just confirmed what I was thinking that it wasn’t in neutral, they believed that it could have been half in gear.
mr clutch put my van back together and charged me £200. My van is now in worse condition then when I bought it into them. I now can’t get 5th gear. I have put a complaint into mr clutch head office. I got a call back to say they can’t do anything to fix my van as they believe there branch manager who said it was my gearbox. I have never known any mechanic to be able to Diagnose a fault without even looking at a vehicle. Not only have they broken my van but they have had £800 in total for doing it. What a bunch of cowboys they really haven’t got a clue and as for their customer service skills that’s a joke, what customer service! I now will be Seeking legal action against mr clutch. Please don’t use them you will only regret it as they really are cowboys. They will rip you off. I strongly advise everyone to stay well away from them. There are different garages that won’t rip you off and will do the job properly in the first place. Honesty mr clutch are a bunch of cowboys please don’t use them if you like your vehicle as it will only come back with more problems then you started with. I wouldn’t have rated them any stars but I had no choice as I couldn’t write a review without doing so Please don’t allow these pieces of scum to rip you off (cowboys)
