Just caught your post,
Can't recommend GreatNorthTyres enough! Just over Tyne bridge on the Gateshead side. Been going there for best part of 15yrs with all sorts of motors for all sorts of work modified and standard , more recently they fitted my TTRS bbk kit & ecs subframe bolts at £80 labour, £60 for a service ,I think my mpss where £430 fitted .
Friendly service, never had a problem . Plenty car mags to read while you wait
