Restore Your Ride & Handling

Your suspension keeps your tyres in contact with the road. When it wears, braking distances grow, handling becomes vague and tyres wear unevenly. Potholes and speed bumps around the North East take their toll, and broken coil springs are one of the most common MOT failures.

We'll inspect your suspension on a ramp, find the cause of the noise or handling issue and explain what needs replacing. After the repair we can check your alignment so your new parts and tyres last as long as they should.

The Benefits

Smoother Ride

Comfort restored over bumps, potholes and speed humps.

Safer Handling

Better grip, steering response and braking stability.

Longer Tyre Life

Healthy suspension prevents uneven tyre wear.

Accurate Diagnosis

We find the actual cause of the knock, not guess at it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should shock absorbers be replaced in pairs?

Yes. Replacing shocks in axle pairs keeps the car balanced and handling predictably. The same applies to coil springs.

Can I drive with a broken coil spring?

It's not advisable. A broken spring can puncture a tyre or affect steering, and it's an MOT failure. Get it checked as soon as you can.

Will I need an alignment after suspension work?

Often, yes. Replacing components such as track rod ends, wishbones or struts can change the geometry, so we'll check and adjust alignment where needed.

What our customers say about us

Our Reviews

Conscientious customer service, we bought a great car at a good price. Wish it was the Aston!
— Saira & Will Aspinall
**Exceptional service and a genuinely honest garage!** I contacted the company after seeing their Volkswagen Caddy Maxi Life advertised on AutoTrader on Wednesday evening, after hours. I had several in-depth questions and sent them over, and first thing Thursday morning Andrew contacted me and answered every question thoroughly. We then spoke on the phone, and Andrew went the extra mile by sending me a video of the vehicle. My mum, husband and I then made the three-hour journey from the East Midlands to Hebburn to view the car. We were absolutely delighted with the vehicle and were so happy with everything that we drove it home that day. Three weeks on, we are still extremely happy with our decision and absolutely love the Caddy. A huge thank you to **Andrew** for his exceptional customer service, professionalism

I can’t recommend Banks of the Tyne Motor Company highly enough. We’ve had two cars repaired here after they were damaged and recently bought my son’s car from them. Every experience we’ve had has been excellent. Andrew and Jamie were fantastic — really friendly, helpful and kept us updated throughout. My son loves his new car and we’ve had no problems at all. Great service and a lovely experience from start to finish. Would definitely use them again!
— Louise Crow

I bought a lovely car from Andrew(The new manager). It was spotlessly clean inside and out and a really good price. Very friendly and professional. Definitely recommend 👌.

Bought a citreon c3 from Banks of Tyne a couple of months ago. Due to an issue with the warrenty company I really needed the timing belt changed. The guys were more than happy to oblige and even carried out an oil and filter change too - with no charge 👍 About a couple of weeks later I experienced another teething issue with the car. But again, Stephen, Owen and the team really stepped up and again carried out all the work - even changing one of my brake lights - without charge. I honestly could not recommend these guys enough, its a real rarity to find a dealership / mechanics that are friendly, care and make you feel valued as a customer. They will be getting all mine and my familys work going forward - even though we all live on the other side of the water 🤣

Great Customer service from start to finish. Identified the issues with the car quickly (I had already been told by the AA what the issues were). Repaired it and kept me updated throughout. Quick and efficient service and a very fair price. Will definitely be using again!!
— Steven Richardson
I needed a garage that wasn’t going to rob me blind for repairs. I brought my car here for MOT repairs and I cannot fault this place. Stephen the MOT tester was really professional - gave me a price of the work (cheapest I have been quoted by far). I was able to watch him doing the work from the MOT office and was even given a lovely hot cuppa aswell 😉. When the work was completed he took it on a road test just to double check all was well. All was done in about 1hr. Absolutely outstanding business - WILL DEFO be recommending and using this place again. Thank you so much.
— Deborah Elliott
Went in to look for a Range Rover for myself but they didn’t have any available but asked what I was looking for and then they went out of their way and found one the exact model and spec I was looking for can’t fault the speedy service and professionalism from the staff
