Why Newcastle upon Tyne drivers choose Meadowfield Auto Centre
Plenty of Newcastle drivers make the short trip up to Ponteland for one reason: honest pricing in a real workshop, not a dealer showroom. The A696 from Cowgate gets you here in around 20 minutes outside rush hour, which makes us a realistic option for a service-and-MOT day or a planned brake job — and a much cheaper one than going dealer.
Bring it in for MOT, full or interim service, brake replacement, diagnostics or new tyres. We'll send a quote before any work goes ahead, and we don't charge for the courtesy diagnostic if you proceed.
Newcastle taxis, fleet vans, family hatchbacks and everything in between — all welcome. Class 4, 5 and 7 MOT under one roof.

Class 4, 5 & 7 MOT — cars, vans, motor caravans

Newcastle upon Tyne FAQs
Common questions from Newcastle upon Tyne drivers
How long does it take to drive from Newcastle to Meadowfield Auto Centre?
About 20 minutes outside rush hour — straight up the A696 (the main road out past the airport). Add 10-15 minutes if you're crossing town in morning peak.
Is it cheaper than a Newcastle main dealer?
Almost always — particularly on servicing, brake work and tyres. We use OE-spec parts and follow manufacturer schedules, so your service history stays current, but you're not paying for a dealer showroom.
Do you do MOTs for light vans (Class 7)?
Yes — we're approved for Class 4, 5 and 7. Sprinters, Transits, larger Iveco and Renault Master vans are all routine MOT work for us.
Will I need to leave the car all day?
For an MOT alone, usually a couple of hours. For service-and-MOT or any larger job, drop-off in the morning and collection late afternoon is the standard pattern.
