A Hedley Motor Engineers - the leading independent garage in Chester-le-Street

A Hedley Motor Engineers has been a fixture in Chester-le-Street since 1971. More than fifty years on, we’re still here, still an independent garage, and still doing things the same way with straight talk, honest pricing, and work carried out to a standard we’re proud of.

We’re fortunate to have a large, well-equipped workshop with six ramps, a dedicated MOT bay, and a tyre bay, and our team of four experienced technicians work across all makes and models, covering everything from a quick service to a full mechanical overhaul.

The Area’s Leading Van Specialist

More than half of the work we carry out is on vans, and that’s not by accident. A Hedley Motor Engineers has become the go-to van servicing centre in the Chester-le-Street area, trusted by sole traders, small businesses, and larger fleets alike.

Our MOT bay is licensed for Class 4, 5, and 7 vehicles, meaning we can test larger vans and motorhomes that many local garages simply aren’t equipped to handle. If your livelihood depends on your vehicle, you need somewhere reliable, and that’s what we’re here for.

Fleet Work

Fleet maintenance is one of our core strengths. We work with businesses across Chester-le-Street, Birtley, Stanley, Durham, and beyond, keeping commercial vehicles serviced, roadworthy, and compliant. We understand that downtime costs money, and we work to minimise it with efficient turnaround times and straightforward scheduling. So if you’re looking for a dependable fleet partner in the area, we’d be glad to talk through what we can offer.

What We Work On

We work on all makes and models, from everyday hatchbacks to commercial vans and large motorhomes.

Whether you need a manufacturer-scheduled service, a timing belt replacement, a clutch, air conditioning work, or a wheel alignment, we have the equipment and the experience to do it properly.
