In our latest episode, we officially launch the newly rebranded Redgate Lodge Dealership Diary, taking you behind the scenes of everyday life at one of the North East’s most established used car dealerships.

Welcome to the New Redgate Lodge Dealership Diary
We’ve simplified the name of the series to Redgate Lodge Dealership Diary because that’s exactly what it is: a behind-the-scenes look at everything happening across our dealership every week.
Whether you’re buying your first car, upgrading your family vehicle or searching for your next performance model, we want customers across Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead, Sunderland, Durham and the wider North East to see the work that goes into every vehicle before it reaches the forecourt at the best used car dealership in Tyne and Wear.
A 10-Minute Test Drive in a Volkswagen Golf GTD
One of the highlights of this episode is our walkaround and road test of a stunning 22-plate Volkswagen Golf GTD.
The Golf GTD has long been one of the UK’s most popular hot hatchbacks, offering:
- Outstanding diesel performance
- Excellent fuel economy
- Premium interior quality
- Comfortable long-distance driving
- Practical everyday usability
This particular example features upgraded alloy wheels, panoramic roof, LED headlights, reversing camera, heated seats and Volkswagen’s sought-after Winter Pack, making it a fantastic option for anyone looking for a used Volkswagen in Newcastle.
If you’re considering buying a used Volkswagen Golf, videos like these help you understand what makes certain models stand out before arranging a test drive.
What Happens Before a Used Car Goes on Sale?
Many buyers don’t realise just how much preparation happens before a vehicle appears online.
During the episode, Electric or Petrol? | Introducing the New Redgate Lodge Electric Car Hub, viewers see one of our technicians carrying out gearbox repairs while explaining the work involved. Every quality used vehicle undergoes careful inspection and preparation before being offered for sale.
This commitment helps ensure customers receive professionally prepared vehicles, thorough workshop inspections, mechanical peace of mind and the high presentation standards Redgate Lodge Motor Group has become synonymous with.
When you’re looking for quality used cars in Newcastle, preparation matters just as much as the vehicle itself.
Inside Our Bosch Service Centre
We also catch up with Andy in our Tyne and Wear Bosch Service Centre, where servicing, repairs and vehicle preparation continue behind the scenes.
Having an experienced workshop allows us to maintain the high standards our customers expect, whether it’s routine servicing, diagnostics or preparing vehicles ready for collection.
It’s another example of why many customers choose Redgate Lodge when searching for a trusted used car dealership in Newcastle.
