Llandudno is Wales's largest seaside resort, so you may encounter road congestion during the busy summer months. It is served primarily by Conway Road (the A470), which travels south to Cardiff. The North Wales Expressway (A55), linking Holyhead with Chester, passes a few miles south of Llandudno. Arriva Wales operates most bus services in the area. If you fancy a scenic drive, check out Marine Drive, a five-mile toll road around the base of the Great Orme headland.

Since Llandudno 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 Llandudno.

Diesel particulate filters are crucial because they capture and store exhaust soot to help reduce your car's emissions. Since 2009, all diesel cars have been required to have a DPF.

Passive regeneration is the primary way of keeping a DPF filter clean. It happens when the exhaust reaches a high temperature, typically while on a motorway. However, many cars don't reach this stage often enough, making the DPF clogged.
