Tunstall is one of the closest of the six towns to our Milton Road workshop, no more than ten minutes across through Chell or Burslem. We look after plenty of Tunstall vehicles, along with cars from Goldenhill, Pitts Hill, Chell and Packmoor. Being this close means collection is easy when a car will not start, and it means Tunstall customers can drop a vehicle off before work without losing half a morning.

Tunstall driving is town driving, and it produces a very consistent set of faults. Short journeys, constant stop-start along the High Street and Scotia Road, and cars that rarely get their oil properly up to temperature. That combination is hard on clutches and unusually hard on wet belts, because a belt sitting in oil that never fully warms through degrades faster than the service book suggests.

We are an independent garage, which means Tunstall drivers pay considerably less than franchised dealer rates without any drop in the standard of work or the quality of parts. We fit OE-quality components from LuK, Sachs, Gates, Brembo and FAI, and the Block Exemption Regulation protects your manufacturer warranty as long as the job is done to the right standard. Every job is quoted in writing first.

Common Repairs for Tunstall Vehicles

Clutch replacement comes up constantly with Tunstall cars, and short-journey town driving is the reason. Repeated pulling away from junctions along Scotia Road and the High Street, slipping the clutch in slow traffic and sitting on the biting point at lights all wear the friction plate much faster than steady miles. We fit the complete kit and measure the flywheel on every job, and we tell you what we find before fitting anything new rather than after.

Wet belts are the fault we expect to see more of from Tunstall over the next few years. The Ford 1.0 EcoBoost and PSA 1.2 PureTech are everywhere locally, and both run the cambelt inside the engine in oil. Short trips that never get the oil hot accelerate the breakdown of the belt, and the shed material blocks the oil pump pickup until the engine starves. It is a quiet failure with an enormous bill attached, which is why we would rather replace it early. Send us your registration and we will tell you whether yours has one.

Brakes, diagnostics and servicing make up the rest. Town driving means a lot of braking, so pads and discs wear quickly on Tunstall cars. When a warning light comes on we scan every module, read the live data and test the components properly, so you are paying to fix the actual fault. Regular servicing with the correct oil specification matters more than ever on modern small-capacity engines, particularly the wet belt ones.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Demon Autos from Tunstall?
About ten minutes. You can come across through Chell and Norton, or drop down through Burslem and head towards Milton. Our workshop is at Unit 5 Milton Road, postcode ST1 6LE. Being this close means plenty of Tunstall customers drop the car off on the way to work.
Do you cover Goldenhill, Pitts Hill and Packmoor?
Yes. We regularly look after vehicles from Tunstall, Goldenhill, Pitts Hill, Chell, Packmoor and Bradeley. All are a short run from the workshop, and we can collect the vehicle if it is not safe to drive.
Why do Tunstall cars need clutches so often?
Short journeys and constant stop-start traffic. Repeatedly pulling away from junctions, slipping the clutch in slow-moving traffic and holding the biting point at lights generates heat in the friction plate, and heat is what wears it out. Town cars almost always need a clutch earlier than cars doing steady longer runs.

We can. Recovery and collection covers the whole Tunstall area, whether the car is on your driveway or broken down on the road. Call 07459 759160 and we will sort it. For larger jobs like clutches and gearboxes this is the usual way the car reaches us.
Do you provide fixed-price quotes?
Yes, on every job. We diagnose the fault, explain what needs doing in plain English and give you a price that includes parts, labour and VAT. No hidden extras and no mid-job phone call asking for more money.
