Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has a rough idea.

I've had a quote from Toyota who suggested it was going to be £624 (6 hours labour) which I thought was a little bit expensive for a 2004 Avensis.

Also if anyones around the Gloucester area any garage recommendations?

6 hours are definitely plausible, depends on which engine you have, book time goes up to around 7h on some of them. Find a indy of clutch centre for half the labour costs on a pretty straight forward job. No need to pay main dealer rates.
 
The clutch went on my parents 2005 diesel Rav4. Was actually cheaper to have it done at a main dealer than at a local indie. Toyota had the car for a full day. Local garage said by the time they put their labour charge on (they quoted 4 hours longer than Toyota's fitting time) Toyota would be cheaper.
 
It may well be a 6 hour job but as above you'll likely get cheaper labour rates elsewhere, whether the price is decent or not also depends on whether there's (unlikely) a flywheel being changed too.

I'm sure Honda charge circa £500 for the clutch on a diesel civic, which isn't actually a terrible price (though you'd get it cheaper)
 
My 2002 Toyota Celica cost £148 for a standard Exedy clutch + a local back street garage charged £152 for install.
It was at the garage all day, but that don't mean it takes 7 hours, I'd guess it took 5 hours for mine.

I was lucky it does not have a dual-mass flywheel, I guess the 2ZZ-GE engine gets its performance from high revs not torque?

2002 was before DMF's became truly prevalent in cars and also a engine geared towards a revvy nature wont have one as they are typically heavier and bulkier then normal flywheels. Lighter flywheel = revier* engine


*I don't care it's not a word, we all know what it means.
 
Sorry it's a diesel. The clutch hasn't gone yet but it's definitely going to sooner or later so it was more pre-emptive.

Guess I'll give a few places a call next week.
