About Leeds

Leeds is a heavy populated, busy city in West Yorkshire. Being the third largest city in the UK Leeds has an approximate population of 725,000. The only two cities bigger than Leeds are London and Birmingham. According to 2011 Census data there are over 300,000 cars in Leeds. Combine this with the fact that many routes to and from other major parts of the country run through Leeds and it is easy to see why the city has very congested roads. One of the main routes in the area is the A58 which runs directly through the city. This is one of the traffic black spots in the area, seeing a lot of road activity.

Talking of road activity there are thousands of collisions on Leeds’ roads on a yearly basis. In 2005 there were a total of 3,792 accidents, 27 of which had fatal outcomes. This has improved over the years but is still a very high number, especially in comparison to many other places in the UK. In 2013 there were 2,433 crashes. With so many collisions the demand for car parts is very high as people need to repair accident damage.

Leeds is easily accessible from around the UK. The M621 motorway connects Leeds with the M1 to London and the M62 to Manchester and Liverpool. This infrastructure allows for easy delivery of car parts to customers across the city.

A number of car shows are held in Leeds, such as the Yorkshire Post Vintage & Classic Rally Harewood. This is an event dedicated to classic car models where owners can enter a competition. There are also a number of stands and other forms of entertainment for the whole family to enjoy throughout the day.

Why buy used van and car parts?

With the economic downturn many people are looking to save money by buying things from second hand suppliers. That’s why in the past decade or so the second hand car part industry has seen such a huge development. More people are choosing to repair their cars rather than trading them in for newer models. So rather than buying a new vehicle, save some cash by simply replacing the damaged or worn parts on your current car with used ones from breaker yards. It’s the best option available for those keeping to a budget.
