About Hertfordshire 

Hertfordshire is in a prime position to the north of London, making it particularly appealing to commuters travelling into the capital. With coverage across all major road routes into London, as well as further north into the Midlands, Northern England and Scotland, the county is home to some of the principal roads in England including the A1, A5, M1, M11 and M25. Hertfordshire is incredibly well connected, allowing for the swift and easy transportation of used car parts in response to the extensive demand. 

Thanks to its prime position within the commuter belt and strong transport links Hertfordshire suffers with problems relating to traffic and congestion. The Colney Heath longabout in St Albans is often troublesome, while the M25 to the south of the county is notoriously prone to traffic issues. The southern end of the M1 often becomes congested too, having previously topped a poll of the worst traffic blackspots in the country.

There are a few areas within the county where road traffic accidents are an issue. The small village of Park Street is home to an accident blackspot at the junction between Penn Road and Tippendell Lane, as well as notorious blackspots in Hitchin, Leighton Buzzard and Waltham Abbey, just over the River Lea in Essex. Increased traffic and related accidents increase the demand for car parts. Unfortunately, accidents mean car repairs, which would explain the high demand for car parts in the county. 

Hertfordshire has an extensive motoring and events calendar, including the Festival of Transport and other car shows at Knebworth House, and the Herts Auto Show. 

Why buy used van and car parts?

With their wealth of wisdom and experience in the field they are on hand to give you advice on the best parts to suit your needs, saving you money on costly new components and extortionate mechanics fees. 

This change in fixing up your existing car rather than buying new is a sign of the harsh economic times that people have experienced in the past few years. Cars are expensive after all, and can often be a severe drain on your bank balance. Fortunately scrap yards represent excellent value for money, and can often be stacked full of old or unusual parts that may otherwise be very difficult to get your hands on. With the rising interest in buying used car parts potential buyers are often spoilt for choice nowadays, with plenty of new, reconditioned and second hand components to choose from.
