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.

FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Sunderland for all these crucial components.

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.

If your seatbelt doesn't retract after you pull it out, you likely need to book a seatbelt retractor repair, whereas issues getting the tongue into or out of the buckle indicate the need for a seatbelt buckle repair.A seatbelt repair won't just help your vehicle pass its >a href="/mot">MOT; it could also save a life since seatbelts are a crucial safety feature required by law. When they sense a collision (a hard force pulling against them), they lock in place, which distributes the stopping force needed to decelerate the passenger and prevents that person from colliding with anything in the car. Whether you need a seatbelt or buckle replacement, this is one repair you should never put off. Typically, a seatbelt replacement or seatbelt installation will take no more than thirty minutes.
