Services
Our clutch kit prices are very competitive and come with almost 100 years combined experience in the clutch business. With hundreds of clutch kits for auto and light truck we sell component parts also. From a clutch disc or a throw out bearing to slave and master cylinders for passenger cars. We stock many of the switchover clutch kits for diesel pick-ups with dual-mass flywheel for going to the solid flywheel.
We repair brakes on foreign and domestic vehicles including: brake pads, disc and drum brakes, front end service and repair, and master cylinder repair. We also do Brake Shoes and Drum Turning: For both passenger vehicles and over the road trucks; we turn drums and reline shoes with an oversized lining to fit the diameter of the drum.
Engine Oil: Cars on the road, pretty much, use multi-grade oil (it works efficiently in cold and hot weather.) The multi-grade oils are rated by two numbers, like 5W-30. Cars usually have 5W-30 or 5w-20 engine oil when they roll out.
Manufacturers recommend them because they are lighter oils, perform well in a range of temperatures and help improve gas mileage. Synthetic oils, primarily chemically compounded lubricants, rather than 100% petroleum, are also available at Lakehead Clutch & Brake.The best, simplest and safest way to know what's best for your car is to read your owner's manual.

Not pleased with the communication on a dozer clutch relining. They changed from the factory riveted backing plate to a direct bond and scrapped the backing plates with out checking to see if I the customer was ok with the design change. When asked for the factory backing plates they were unable to find them. When I dropped the parts off I had expected a shop with their reputation to perform a relining consistent with the original design and if that was not possible to consult, very disappointed.

Had my brakes replaced, oil leak patched, and oil change with them recently, everyone there was very friendly and polite. I had called before I brought my car in to get a idea of prices, and the guy who answered the phone made helping me his top priority and did his best to get me a ballpark price. My car is running better than ever now, brakes feel amazing, but I was most impressed by the staff, it always felt like they genuinely cared, I will be bringing my business to them from now on.

My SO brought a wheel hub to these people to have a bearing punched out and the new one put in, they told him it would take less than a hour since they have the machine to do it and quoted him $45, when they went to pick the part up they tried to charge him $180 saying it took 2 hours.. not to mention when they received the hub back from them the hub was damaged, definitely wouldn't recommend this company!!!!
Also when they called to ask them why they neglected to say they damaged the hub they hung up. Wow!!!!

My car broke down in Duluth on the Thursday night before New year's weekend and had it towed to Lakehead that night. They had my alternator replaced by 1 in the afternoon Friday before they closed for the weekend. They were very enthusiastic and flexible with my situation. Highly recommend taking your business to them.
