Trade plate vehicle movements in Reading and the Thames Valley

Reaching Reading from junctions 11 and 12 of the M4

Most drives reach Reading from junction 11 of the M4 and the A33, or from junction 12 and the A4. The A329 heads out to Wokingham and the A327 to Shinfield. Closures on the M4 and match days at the stadium can fill these roads, so we plan around a date you can keep rather than promising a same day collection.

Broad Street, Oxford Road and the streets near the station are tight. If the car is on Green Park, Worton Grange or the RG2 industrial land, give us the barrier details and a named manager. For a house in Caversham or Tilehurst, tell us where the driver can stop legally.

Collecting at Green Park and delivering in Caversham is one job, and so is collecting in Reading and delivering to Glasgow. Earley, Woodley, Tilehurst, Wokingham and Bracknell are all part of the area we cover.

Caversham, Tilehurst and Earley: every RG postcode counts

Reading is ringed by districts with their own last stretch, and a car in RG4 is a different drive from one in RG1. If the vehicle is in Caversham, Tilehurst, Earley or Woodley, put that place and the exact postcode on the booking along with any barrier code and a contact.

The town has three stations that matter to us. Reading is the main line stop, Reading West serves the Tilehurst side and Reading Green Park suits deliveries on that estate. We plan the right one for the driver's return after a one way delivery.

Auction collections from BCA Camberley and Wilsons Auctions Witney

Reading has no auction site, so most buyers collect from BCA Camberley to the south or Wilsons Auctions Witney in Oxfordshire. If you bought on the London side, we also collect from BCA Enfield and BCA Crawley.

Release is confirmed with the auction before a driver heads onto the M4. There is more detail on collecting auction lots after release. Salvage is the exception, as it cannot go on trade plates.

Thames Valley dealer transfers and home deliveries

Typical Reading bookings include a group moving a car between a Green Park site and a Caversham satellite, a part exchange going to BCA Camberley once it is legal to drive and fleet vans from Worton Grange. Each vehicle travels on its own, straight to where it needs to be.

If a customer on Oxford Road has been promised their car at the door, our driver hands it over in person. Find out more about our site transfers and retail handovers. A short hop from Earley gets the same record as a long run north: a photographed condition record, a signature on arrival and one combined report by email.

What we need to book your RG1 movement

We can only drive a vehicle that is roadworthy and legal for the road, with a current MOT where required. Our motor trade road risk insurance covers it from collection until it is signed for, and salvage needs a transporter.
