Driving in Reading can be challenging if you're unfamiliar with the area, especially the notorious inner distribution road that circles the town centre. Despite this, Reading was crowned the easiest ‘city' to drive in the UK in 2022, despite not having official city status. Traffic is usually slow-moving, and the worst rush hour happens on Tuesdays at 8am. Buses are the best public transport mode operated by one of the last municipal bus companies in the country, Reading Buses.

Driving in cities like Reading puts extra strain on your car due to long periods of idling and frequent stopping and starting in traffic.

Manoeuvring into tight parking spaces and navigating busy roads can result in scuffed alloys and dented or scraped bodywork while driving over potholes can throw out your suspension. FixMyCar can help you find affordable repairs and maintenance in Reading for all these crucial components.

Car accident repair services ensure your car is repaired to the highest standard without compromising safety. Common types of damage following an accident are a missing/damaged bumper, cracked windscreen, car frame damage, scratches and disjointed doors. As such, repairs often include dent removal, body repairs, scratch removal, bumper repair and paintwork. Minor crash repairs may involve purely cosmetic fixes. On the other hand, if your car sustains severe damage, the repair cost of which your insurance company deems high compared to the value of the vehicle, it may be written off. Category C, D, N and S write-offs can still legally be repaired, although the cost of doing so is usually high, and the value of the car will be diminished.It isn't a good idea to do a car damage repair job if you're not a trained mechanic; instead, it's best to book an authorised car accident repair centre.
