Sunderland is just 14 miles from Newcastle, roughly a 30-minute drive. In the late 20th century, the city became an automotive building centre, and there is still a highly successful manufacturing plant owned by Nissan, which has produced over 10.5 million vehicles. The busiest road in the Sunderland area is the A19, a dual-carriageway that runs north to south, providing access to the Tyne Tunnel. Most bus services in the area are run by Go North East, Stagecoach and Arriva.

Driving in cities like Sunderland puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic. The parts most at risk are the brakes, cooling system and transmission. Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Sunderland for all these crucial components.

Since Sunderland is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Sunderland.

Finding a quality car service for your electric car can be tricky since you may struggle to find an EV car mechanic, and not all garages offer EV servicing. The same applies to electric car repairs.There are some key differences between EV servicing vs petrol engine servicing. Electric vehicles need servicing less frequently because they have fewer moving parts than traditional internal combustion cars, so fewer components require attention. However, regular electric car maintenance is essential, and you should always stick to the intervals laid out in your servicing schedule.Regarding EV vs hybrid car servicing, while electric cars are cheaper to service, hybrids are often more expensive than regular diesel or petrol cars because they have both an internal combustion engine and an electric motor that needs maintenance.
