Car Servicing by Front Street Garage Limited

When it comes to car servicing in Durham, prevention is better than a cure — and that's exactly what you'll find at Front Street Garage Limited.

We understand that each car has its own story and needs. While a full car service is recommended every 12,000 miles or 12 months, this is a general rule that might not fit every situation, especially when you consider your car's service history and manufacturer service schedule. That's why we tailor each car's servicing timeline to its age and condition to protect its safety, reliability, performance, and lifespan.

With our highly trained professionals, state-of-the-art equipment, and bespoke approach to each vehicle, it's easy to see how car servicing by Front Street Garage Limited offers you much more than just a routine check-up.

David Rogers - December 17, 2025

"Saved my skin: I went outside to my car on Tuesday morning, to find the front right hand side had collapsed, and the car was almost undriveable. The front spring had snapped in half. Called in to Front St but it's the week before Christmas and they were busy all week. However Stuart agreed to let me leave my car with them on the understanding that they'd try to get it repaired by Friday, when they close for a fortnight for Christmas. I got a phone call Weds afternoon - all done, and at a very fair price. Stuart really saved my skin as I desperately needed my car for over the holidays. Always a 100% professional, courteous service at a fair price. The only garage I will use now in Shotton / Peterlee."

"Been using front street garage Shotton for around 20 years now, I find the service is top notch and the staff are very friendly and helpful, anytime I have a car problem I can usually get booked in within a few days, I find the prices very reasonable, in fact I popped in today as my indicator light had gone out and they replaced it for free. I will continue to go there for as long as I am driving as I am very satisfied with the services they provide"
