Gardner & Wake is a family run business that has been established since 1977, we serve the North East of England. Derek had passion for cars from the age of 12, became a motor mechanic at 15, then turning his hand to all aspects of the garage trade, went on to run service departments and car sales departments before taking the step to start our business in Rowlands Gill in 1977 at the age of 32.
Andy became an apprentice mechanic at the garage in 1991 at the age of 16, his interest and knowledge for cars grew and he became business partner in 2008. Michelle left school with other career plans but fate would soon see her working for the family business. Our garage has been running successfully for over 40 years with our small family team, who all have a passion for cars, and we strive to carry on for many years to come.

Services
Here at Gardner & Wake we aim to provide our customers with a wide range of tyres, from budget to main brand tyres, to ensure safe, trouble free motoring. The Position of your Tyres - front tyres will wear more quickly because of movement in steering. Tyres on drive wheels will also wear faster. The Pressure or you Tyres - under inflation or over inflation can both affect the wear of your tyres.
Warning lights can illuminate on your dashboard, an engine diagnostics check can help to identify the problem. Most modern vehicles today contain an ECU (on-board computer) which continually monitors the performance of the vehicle. When a problem is identified the ECU logs an error code. The dashboard warning light relevant to this issue will be illuminated.
Your Timing Belt or Chain is responsible for synchronising the rotation of the crankshaft and camshafts, which enable the valves and pistons to move correctly. We offer Timing Belt replacement. Unfortunately, there are no obvious signs that the timing belt is near the end of life; it will just break.

Took my Audi A5 in for some tyres and checks with steering and I have to say the service was superb! I was given a clear breakdown of issues and solutions to this. The work was carried out in a swift and very reasonably priced manner. I was given a courtesy car allowing me to get back to work with out having to pay a fortune for a taxi. I have to say it was an all round great experience using these guys! Highly recommend!!!!

I absolutely wholeheartedly recommend & trust Gardener & Wake. My family, including myself have bought 3 cars from them in the past 18m & I could not have found fault with anything. I now use them for services & anything else if it crops up. Trust is a massive thing with garages & they 100% have mine. Thanks Michelle & everyone at G&W Best Wishes The Mawsons

Bought our qashqai here last week and couldn’t be happier with the quality of customer care we received. From the moment we arrived til afterwards has just been above and beyond. Michelle is lovely, happy to… help wherever possible and really made us feel confident about driving away with our purchase compared to another garage we had visited. The car was spotless, low miles and in excellent condition just as advertised. As you can see a big hit with our daughter too!
Good family ran garage, where all the staff were fantastic. If you’re looking for a car DEFINITELY check out

What can I say a top top quality service from when I went to look at the car till I picked it up. Nothing was too much trouble and mean nothing even prepared to stay open late so I could collect my purchase. I would be more than happy to buy from here again top quality purchase at a very fair price happy days.

After being ripped off by a horrible garage for a 4 figure sum, I could not have come across a nicer place than this. They totally understood my apprehension, tolerated my tyre kicking and were so accommodating when I wanted a second opinion. I'm getting a well looked after car, with FSH and all the little snags were already in hand, without having to ask, never mind nag them, which is a refreshing change these days.
My dad bought a car from this garage 30 years ago and their reputation is still as good now as it was then.
If you want to know you're buying a quality car from honest people, please
