Having tried Stockton-on-Tees council depot (listed under Lancashire for some reason) I have been told they do all the work to the local taxis so you need to book at least 2 weeks in advance. My friend has had her MOT done there and said they were excellent though.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
Debt September 20th 2022 £2991.68- 96.92% paid off0 -

There's also South Shields, although I'm guessing Newcastle & Gateshead are more convenient for you.S. Tyneside Council, Middlefields, Heddon Way, Tyne Dock, South Shields, NE34 0NT0

Do you have to live within the same council area as the centre? There's none in Darlington
But if i could use Stockton...

Does anyone know where that Newington Road one is in Newcastle?
As far as I know, Newington Road is the one which runs along the bottom of the park next to Warwick Street (Sandyford/Shieldfield). I've had a look along there and can't see any garage.
Does Newington Road continue on the other side of the pedestrian walkway ... which I guess is accessed by the road near to Byker Morrisons/Byker Bridge?
Any directions would be handy.0
