About Wallsend Test Centre

Wallsend Test Centre has been a trusted part of the local motoring community for decades.

Based in Willington Quay, Wallsend, we have built a strong reputation for being honest, friendly, efficient, and competitively priced, with many customers returning to us year after year, thanks to consistently high standards and fast turnaround times.

The business is now owned by Mark Faetz, who began his career here as an apprentice in 2005 before taking over ownership in 2015.  That journey reflects the ethos of the garage itself: experience earned properly, skills developed over time, and a genuine commitment to doing things the right way.

Modern Garage Services You Can Trust

Today, Wallsend Test Centre operates from a large, well-equipped workshop featuring five ramps and a mobile scissor lift, allowing the team to work efficiently on cars and light commercial vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes.  The garage works on most makes and models, including hybrids, though not on fully electric vehicles.

Investment in advanced diagnostic equipment from leading brands such as Autel, Topdon, and Bosch KTS enables accurate fault-finding and effective repairs on modern vehicles.  Servicing is carried out in line with manufacturer schedules at every stage of a vehicle’s life, with online service records updated where applicable.

Convenience, Transparency, & Peace of Mind

Customers visiting from across the local area benefit from a comfortable waiting area with a WC, complimentary WiFi, and refreshments, as well as ample on-site parking.  Collection and delivery within a two-mile radius, plus a courtesy car, are also offered, subject to availability.

All our work is backed by a minimum 12 months warranty, giving complete peace of mind.  With a focus on clear communication and trustworthy advice, Wallsend Test Centre continues to be a reliable choice for motorists in and around Wallsend.
