In Toronto, clutch replacement typically costs between $920 and $1,840 CAD for a standard vehicle. SUVs and luxury vehicles cost more due to larger parts and additional labour. These estimates are based on the local independent shop labour rate of $165/hour.
Why is clutch replacement cheaper in Toronto than in downtown Toronto?
