Work is underway and progressing well at Audi’s new workshop and body shop facility in North Shields, just outside Newcastle-upon-Tyne, as CCS manages the delivery of a complete garage equipment installation for our dealership client.
CCS is appointed by our dealership client to manage the delivery of this new Paint and Body Centre in North Shields, Tyne & Wear, serving Audi customers across Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the North East from a self-contained facility at Tyne Tunnel Trading Estate.
Located away from customer sales and dealership facilities, the dedicated workshop and body shop facilities at Tyne Tunnel enable our client to maximise opportunities from this spacious, bright and versatile building, creating a working space that’s fully-equipped to handle the complete vehicle range across the group, including Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda and Seat marques.
The North Shields centre undertakes a wide range of work, in particular accident repair work, diagnostics analysis, and body work and paint repairs. An Audi specialist, the Luxury Structural Aluminium Approved facility is the only Audi R8 Aluminium Structural approved repairer in the North East, using genuine Audi parts and Audi specified paint that restore vehicles to their original condition.
