Wrong fuel in Sunderland: why these guides exist
Most advice about misfuelling is written for the whole country and says nothing about where you actually are. These are written from the roads, the forecourts and the dispatch times around Sunderland. The A19 carries very heavy freight. A vehicle stopped on it, or in the approach to the Tyne Tunnel, needs to be got clear before anything else is considered.
Reviews, including the bad ones
4.8 out of 5 across 2,190 Trustpilot reviews. Praise clusters on two things — speed of arrival, and technicians who do not make a driver feel stupid about a mistake anyone can make.
The complaint that comes up most is cost. It is a fair thing to raise: the call-out is From just £89 misfuel callout fee, the full price is confirmed before a technician sets off, and if the job turns out to be different you are told before further work, not after.
