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.

Car window tinting involves applying a tinting film, usually made of polyester laminate, onto the inside of the glass window. This guide discusses how much it's likely to cost.

There are several benefits: it reduces UV radiation, gives extra privacy, stops the interior from fading in the sun and keeps heat in your vehicle (which is particularly beneficial during winter).

Does having a window tint also reduce heat? Yes - a window tint blocks sunlight from entering your car, so it stays cooler. It's a win-win!

What is the darkest legal tint? There aren't any rules about tinting the rear windscreen or rear passenger windows. However, the law for front and side windows is based on the age of the vehicle. For vehicles used before April 1985, the windows must let at least 70% of light through; for vehicles used more recently, the windscreen must allow at least 75% of light through, and 70% for passenger windows.
