The main road in Seaham is the A19, which travels north to Seaton Burn and south to Doncaster. It is also served by the A1018, providing a route into South Shields, and the A182, travelling to Washington via Houghton-le-Spring. Since Seaham is just six miles south of Sunderland, you could include garages from both areas in your search for affordable car repairs. Seaham railway station is on the Durham Coast Line, and there is a bus interchange on South Terrace.

Since Seaham is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Seaham.

Car alloys sustain damage when they are scraped or scratched, and they can also become corroded over time. This problem leads many people to ask: can alloy wheels be repaired? The answer is yes; car alloy wheel refurbishment is a service that restores an alloy wheel close to its original condition. Some mechanics also offer a specialist service called diamond cut alloy repair.

During a car wheel refurbishment, a strong acid strips the lacquer coating on the alloy. If there is any corrosion, the wheel is usually sandblasted. A filler is used to fill in scratches and dents before the wheel is heated up and powder coated. Finally, a clear coat of lacquer is applied.
