Your brakes are probably the most important part of your car. If your car is having a braking problem, whether it's weak brakes, a mushy pedal, grinding sounds - whatever your brake problem is, you need to troubleshoot and repair it as soon as possible. Even though your brakes operate in a closed system, contaminants can still work their way into the system.
We pride ourselves in using high quality diagnostic equipment for most makes and models of vehicles. Performance and economy are demanded from every vehicle, and because this can't be taken for granted, we use modis test equipment to highlight any deficiencies. Our highly trained technicians are able to deal with repair faults on most vehicles.
For all new cars within the first 3 years of their life, a service at an approved garage is a must. Our approved garage makes sure that your manufacturers' warranty is protected all the time. We pride ourselves on our professional and friendly approach to all our garage and motor services, providing the highest quality car servicing in the Tyne and Wear area.
A vehicle's steering system is a complex piece of engineering made up of many components that work together to maintain a safe, controlled and comfortable ride. Due to the harsh environment in which this system operates it is essential that it is checked and maintained on a regular basis.

Should you need to replace any of your vehicle's steering or suspension components whether it is manual or power steering racks, steering column bushes, steering column bearings and couplings, power steering pumps and hydraulic systems please don't hesitate to call us.
Springs and Shock absorbers form part of your vehicle's suspension system designed to reduce the effect of bumps and vibrations from road surfaces, providing you with a more comfortable ride. A good suspension system also helps to maintain vehicle stability and handling as well as helping to reduce your braking distance.

Great and friendly guys, only reason for the 3 stars is that there was oil dribbled down the front bumper after a service and oily handprints all around both front wings.
Service: Oil change

Was recommended fault finder through friends. Came to these as I work away Monday to Friday, and needed a MOT done on a Saturday. Booked over the phone the week before, good value for money at £40 for the MOT. Would recommend for work on you’re vehicles they also do MOT on motorbikes also ideal if you live local to save travelling far.
