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.

Over a car's lifetime, the upholstery and seats can take a battering from spilt drinks, food and general dirt from everyday use. The fabric might suffer water or burn damage if the vehicle is in an accident or flood. Or, if the interior is leather, it may start to crack and tear with age. Fortunately, car upholstery or seat repair can get it looking good as new.

A car leather repair could take various forms, such as a leather seat repair, steering wheel repair or general restoration. Depending on the condition, a professional cleaning service might do the job for fabric interiors.

However, if the damage is more serious, you may have to consider getting new seat upholstery. The price depends on the extent of the damage and how much of the upholstery needs repairing or replacing; an entire car interior repair is likely to be expensive.
