About Northamptonshire

The landlocked county of Northamptonshire is traversed by many on their way north or south. The natural gap in the hills at Watford Gap meant that main routes from the south east to the north west were laid through Northamptonshire’s countryside. The county is home to the major towns of Northampton, Daventry and Kettering. 

Short journey times to London means that Northamptonshire is on edge of the commuter belt. This and the amount of traffic utilising the M1 motorway and the A14 trunk road from Rugby to Ipswich means that this small county in the East Midlands is a busy place. 

Unfortunately, with this amount of traffic inevitably come road traffic accidents. Out of all the towns in Northamptonshire, the county town of Northampton sees the most incidents; 249 in 2011. Luckily, most of these accidents are minor. The red route between Round Spinney in Northampton and the junction of the A14 near Kettering is an accident black spot. Since 2003, there have been 30 serious injuries or deaths on the ten milelong route. A large number of traffic accidents can mean two things: more demand for car parts and a large amount of vehicles ending up in scrap yards with parts that can be salvaged.

Northamptonshire forms part of the so-called Motorsport Valley. It’s home to Silverstone Circuit and Rockingham Motor Speedway, the former of course hosts the British Formula One Grand Prix. Both Mercedes GP and Force India F1 teams have their bases in Northamptonshire.

Why buy used van and car parts?

With the ever increasing cost of motoring, finding an area where you can save money is a blessing. Choosing used car parts over brand spanking new ones from garages is a great alternative, and the perfect way to ensure the cost of keeping your car on the road stays as low as possible. Scrap yards around Northamptonshire are full of hidden treasures; perhaps an exhaust for a 1970’s VW Beetle or a wing mirror for your Ford Fiesta Mk2? Sourcing second hand car spares from breaker yards gives you choice. You can look for new, used or reconditioned parts and compare prices with new parts from a garage. Parts from scrap yards represent excellent value for money.

The economic downturn has touched most people, with many car owners choosing to repair their old motors rather than trading them in for a brand new model. If you’re not sure exactly which part you need, you’ll find salvage yards employ knowledgeable workers who are usually glad to impart their wisdom to you. Scrap yards are the perfect place to source low cost car parts that could otherwise be prohibitively expensive.
