- Cars and light commercial vehicles
Exhaust repairs in Retford
At Cut Price Tyres we can identify any exhaust fault and help you decide your best course of action. If a fault is discovered early enough, it may well be possible to change just one small part rather than the whole system – saving you money.
Signs your exhaust needs attention
- the engine sounds louder, or there's a blowing, rattling or roaring noise;
- a smell of exhaust fumes inside the car;
- the exhaust is hanging low or knocking underneath;
- visible rust holes, or an emissions failure at the MOT.
Contact us with your exhaust problem and we'll be happy to help.
Brake repairs in Retford
Your brakes are incredibly important for your safety, so it's vital they're performing at their best. That's why any brake problem should be checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible. We carry out brake repairs quickly and efficiently to get you safely back on the road.
We can replace
- brake pads and discs, front and rear;
- brake shoes and drums;
- calipers, brake hoses and pipes;
- brake fluid (recommended every two years) and handbrake cables.
Warning signs
- squealing, scraping or grinding when you brake;
- the car pulls to one side under braking;
- a soft or spongy pedal, or juddering through the pedal or steering;
- the brake warning light is on.
Suspension repairs
Your suspension keeps the tyres in contact with the road, so worn parts affect braking, handling and tyre wear – not just comfort. We replace coil springs, shock absorbers, bushes, drop links, ball joints and track rod ends on cars and light vans.
Signs of worn suspension
- knocking or clunking over bumps;
- the car bounces, wallows or leans more than it used to;
- one corner sits lower than the others;
- uneven or patchy tyre wear.
After any suspension or steering work, we'll check your wheel alignment so your tyres wear evenly.
Clutch replacement
A clutch wears gradually, so it's easy not to notice until it starts to slip. We diagnose clutch problems and replace clutches and flywheels on cars and light vans, and explain exactly what's needed before we start.
Signs your clutch is wearing out
- the revs rise but the car doesn't speed up (slipping);
- the biting point is very high, or the pedal feels heavy or spongy;
- juddering as you pull away, or difficulty selecting gears;
- a burning smell after hill starts or towing.

As well as tyres, exhausts, brakes and suspension, we carry out general repairs and car servicing including all the essential checks. We pride ourselves on a good, honest service – call us for information.
