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.
