Wilsons carried out a recent service and stated they checked the travel of the clutch. Around 1, 000 miles later the clutch had deteriorated so badly that the whole clutch had to be replaced.

Can a clutch deteriorate so badly in around 1, 000 miles? The car is 3 years old and has only 12, 000 miles on the clock (11, 000) when it was allegedly checked.

Wilsons blame it on the driving style (they must be claiming my way of driving has changed in the last 1, 000 miles!) and the possibility of the floor mat being under the clutch. The car is valeted every 2/3 weeks when the mat is taken out, cleaned and replaced in the correct position.

Wilsons also deny any knowlegdge of carrying out a one year service on the car.

To add insult to injury they charged me �50 to tell me my clutch had gone and it was all my fault!

Given this incident I would strongly advise using this company for your car repairs. I found an honest and reliable trader elsewhere.
