Gateshead has several major roads passing through it, including the A184 connecting the town to Sunderland and the A1 connecting to Edinburgh and London. The Millennium Bridge, a cyclist and pedestrian tilt bridge between Gateshead arts quarter and Newcastle's Quayside, is powered by enough electric motors to run more than eight Ford Focus cars. A clean air zone was introduced in the town in early 2023, so some vehicles have to pay to drive through the area.

A Clean Air Zone (CAZ) operates in Gateshead to improve air quality and specifically reduce public exposure to nitrogen dioxide, a pollutant produced by traditional combustion engines. This goal is achieved by encouraging the use of cleaner vehicles, such as EVs, and restricting high-pollution vehicles. Many CAZs charge drivers for entering them, though some are non-charging. Before driving in Gateshead, it's worth checking online whether you will have to pay for driving through the zone.

A car dent repair can involve several tools and techniques. For shallow dents, the technician may use a hammer and dolly; this involves bracing the car with some metal (the dolly) while hammering the dent out. A tool commonly used on small dents is a dent puller, which features an industrial-strength suction cup.

Using a stud welder is another option - this tool welds studs into the affected area, and stud pliers are then used to pull the dent back into place. These methods of dent removal will often be followed by a touch-up of the vehicle's paint.

Many cars with dents suffer from other cosmetic issues and may also need a scratch repair. You can find out more about the different types of bodywork repair in this guide.

During a mobile dent repair or scratch and dent repair, the same techniques are used at a location of your choice. Fortunately, you're in the perfect place to find a car dent removal near you.
