South Shields is close to the Tyne Tunnel at Jarrow, bounded by the A19 trunk road to the west. It is the largest town in South Tyneside, where 0.42 vehicle miles were travelled in 2021. Driving through the Tyne Tunnel on your journey? Don't forget to pay the fee online when you get home, as there are no longer any payment booths. If you're stuck without a car, local buses are operated by Stagecoach and Go North East.
Since South Shields 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 South Shields.
Car remapping, sometimes called ‘chipping', involves changing your car's engine control unit (ECU) programming by overwriting the manufacturer's settings on the microchip. This process is done by plugging a laptop into the vehicle's OBD port.
Engine remapping is different to engine balancing, which involves altering components in the engine itself rather than making changes to the car's computer.
A car remapping service can give you better fuel economy, improved driveability and control, increased power, and a better throttle response. It is highly customisable, so you can choose which aspects of performance you want to improve, and you can also have multiple remaps so you can switch between them depending on your needs.
However, remapping often makes your insurance more expensive, and it only benefits cars with a turbo; if your vehicle doesn't have one, the difference after remapping will be minimal.
