• Motability at Tees Valley Motors

    Freedom Made Simple with the Motability Scheme in Darlington, County Durham

    At Tees Valley Motors, we’re proud to support the Motability Scheme, helping eligible customers enjoy the freedom of driving a brand-new car with complete peace of mind. Our friendly Motability specialists in Darlington will guide you through the process — from checking your eligibility to choosing the car that best suits your lifestyle and needs.

    If you receive one of the qualifying mobility allowances, you can exchange all or part of your allowance to lease a new car every three years, with all the key motoring costs included — insurance, servicing, breakdown cover and more — giving you worry-free motoring from day one.

    What’s Included in Your Motability Lease

    ✅ Insurance Cover

    Comprehensive insurance cover is arranged for you through the Motability Scheme.
    You can add up to three named drivers — such as family members, friends or carers — and you can update them at any time during your lease.

    🔧 Servicing and MOTs

    Your regular servicing, routine repairs and MOTs are included, helping to keep your vehicle in perfect working order throughout your agreement.

    🚗 Breakdown Cover

    Breakdown cover is provided as standard so you can travel with confidence.
    If you choose a car or a Wheelchair Accessible Vehicle (WAV), you’ll benefit from RAC cover for roadside assistance anywhere in the UK.

    ⚡ Support with Your Electric Vehicle (EV)

    If you choose an electric vehicle through the Motability Scheme, you’ll receive help with charging options.
    Motability will arrange and cover the cost of a home chargepoint and standard installation as part of your lease, or if you don’t have off-street parking, you can instead receive access to the bp pulse network of over 9,000 public chargepoints across the UK.
    Eligibility and suitability criteria apply.

    Are You Eligible for the Motability Scheme?

    You may be eligible if you receive one of the following mobility allowances (with at least 12 months’ award remaining):

    • Higher Rate Mobility Component of Disability Living Allowance (HRMC DLA)
    • Enhanced Rate Mobility Component of Personal Independence Payment (ERMC PIP)
    • War Pensioners’ Mobility Supplement (WPMS)
    • Armed Forces Independence Payment (AFIP)

Thank you so much to James Chadwick and the team at Tees Valley Motors. His knowledge and expertise were second to none, and he couldnt have been more helpful during the whole process. I absolutely love my new car, and I would absolutely return to James when the time comes to swap it in.

Recently got a car from here with my partner, was helped by a lovely fellow called James but other staff were friendly as well, really made sure to do everything they could for us and weren't overbearing or trying to pressure us into anything we didn't want, if you're in the market for a car you can't go wrong here.

I am so glad I chose to buy my car from this dealership. It was a pleasant experience from start to finish. No pushy salesmen, no pressure at all.An absolute 1st class service throughout. They kept to all their promises and nothing was a bother to them even after the sale was completed.James and Jimmy were honest and very reliable, and I would assume the rest of the team are too.It will definitely be my first choice when I am looking for to replace my vehicle in the future. Would definitely recommend. 5*

Couldn’t recommend this garage enough!! As a first time buyer with no real experience, I couldn’t have asked for a better service. From start to finish everything felt straightforward and stress-free. I really appreciated that there was no pressure to make a purchase which made a big difference compared to other places I’d visited! Trading in my beloved fiesta was also handled smoothly, and the whole process was explained clearly at every step. A shout out to John, who was incredibly helpful, kind and patient throughout. He took the time to answer all my questions and made sure I felt confident in my decision. I’d definitely recommend this garage, especially if you’re a first time buyer looking for a straightforward helpful experience!! Thank you!

Great experience at Subaru Centre Darlington! I was there delivering a car, and even though I wasn’t the one buying it, the team treated me like a valued customer. Everyone was friendly, helpful, and had a great sense of humour. To top it off, they even gave me a lift to the train station in one of their cars – now that’s what I call service! I arrived as a delivery driver and left feeling like part of the team. Brilliant people and a great atmosphere. Highly recommended!
