Scarborough is the largest seaside town in North Yorkshire and the largest holiday resort on the Yorkshire Coast, so there is often heavy traffic during the summer. It is served by the A64 road to Malton and Tadcaster, the A165 to Bridlington, the A170 to Pickering and the A171 to Whitby. Scarborough railway station is a Grade II listed building in Westborough, an eastern terminus of the North TransPennine route. Arriva and East Yorkshire Buses operate most bus routes.

Since Scarborough 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 Scarborough.

Few things are as frustrating for a driver as realising your car doesn't have as much power as it should. Small changes in performance matter and are most noticeable during acceleration. Your car may suddenly lose and then regain power or feel sluggish all the time; either way, it's clear there's something wrong.

A loss of power can often be traced back to a problem in the fuel system, such as a clogged fuel filter, faulty injectors or a malfunctioning MAF sensor. Running a cleaning additive through the system every so often can help prevent issues like these from developing. However, the fuel system isn't always to blame.

As discussed in this guide, an ECU error or a clogged catalytic converter can also make your car lose power - that's why you should take note of any other symptoms that could help pinpoint the cause. These may include unusual exhaust smoke (blue, white or black) and rough idling.
