Car Welding - Chester-le-Street

Structural rust and corrosion are among the most common reasons older vehicles fail their MOT. Sills, floor sections, chassis rails, and outriggers are all vulnerable, particularly on vehicles used year-round in areas where road salt is applied in winter. However, with the right welding work, many vehicles that would otherwise be written off can be brought back to a roadworthy standard.

What We Do

A Hedley Motor Engineers carries out repair welding for MOT-related structural work and general bodywork repairs. This includes:

• Sill and floor pan repairs
• Chassis repairs
• Outrigger and mounting point replacement
• Patch repairs to corroded body panels
• Structural repairs identified at MOT inspection

A Practical Approach

We won’t weld a vehicle that isn’t worth saving so before committing to repair work, we’ll carry out a proper assessment of the extent of the corrosion and give you an honest view of whether the cost makes sense against the vehicle’s value and condition. If it does, we’ll do the job properly. If it doesn’t, we’ll tell you that too.

MOT Failures

If your vehicle has failed its MOT on structural grounds, we can inspect it, carry out the necessary welding, and put it through a retest. Welding work is always followed by appropriate treatment to slow future corrosion where accessible.
