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. The parts most at risk are
the brakes, cooling system and transmission. 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.
An MOT is a standard vehicle roadworthiness test determined by the government, while a full car service isn't a legal requirement and can vary from one garage to the next. However, the two go hand in hand.
Some drivers book a full car service and MOT test at the same time (the MOT should always be done before the service) since they are both carried out annually. Doing so has several benefits: it saves time because you don't have to take two trips to the garage and ensures your car is in excellent condition, preventing future repair bills.
Certain garages may offer a car servicing and MOT deal, which works out cheaper than booking the two jobs separately. That's why, if you want to book an MOT and full service check, you should shop around for the best price on FixMyCar.
