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.
Car welding involves joining materials using extreme heat without the need for a binding material. Three main methods are used in the automotive industry: metal inert gas welding (MIG), plasma arc welding (PAW) and tungsten inert gas welding (TIG).
You can use car welding services for bodywork repairs and bigger structural jobs. For example, you might fix electrical problems, a rust patch, a cracked panel or a broken muffler using welding. Expert exhaust welders are common since this component often needs to be repaired using the above techniques.
The difference between a coded welder vs regular welder is that the former has taken an exam using a particular welding configuration. Unless the damage is minimal, you should try to book a coded welder.
Some mechanics may offer mobile car welding services near you, so it's worth researching as this could save you a trip to the garage.
