Best thing to do is to join a forum dedicated to your car, or make of car.
As an example I was quoted £1,100 to change my clutch by a main (Volvo) dealer as it is a job which requires dropping the engine.
I had it done by a brilliant Self employed mechanic for £450 who I found through an owners forum, he also sorted out lots of other small problems at the same time.
My car is about to hit 150,000 miles and now corners and stops faster than it did when new, and produces significantly more power.
If you want to DIY then a forum is a great place to find cheap parts, guides and advice.
What car is it?
