About Devon

Devon is a popular place to live and visit. The coasts are a hub of tourist activity, thanks to their picturesque seaside resorts and fishing towns. These tourist honeypots result in huge volumes of traffic. The fairly rural inland landscape has a relatively low population density, in part due to the presence of Dartmoor, which is the largest open space in southern England. This increases locals’ reliance on their cars to get around, surely one of the reasons behind the high demand for car parts. 

The M5 is the only main motorway within the county, connecting Exeter to Bristol and even further up towards Birmingham. This helps with the swift delivery of car parts. Other main road links include the A377 from Exeter to Barnstaple, the A30, which winds down towards Penzance, and the A38, which connects Exeter to Plymouth and further south to Bodmin. The Districts of East Devon and Exeter saw the highest number of collisions and casualties in 2013. In North Devon, the Torrington area and the A361 link road near South Molton are well-known accident blackspots, with the A361 previously named as the worst road in North Devon for accidents. 

The city of Exeter, Devon’s county town, plays host to the county's airport, Exeter International Airport, which is a base for Flybe and increases traffic on the already congested roads of the city. High levels of traffic increase the occurrence of accidents, which in turn heightens the demand for car parts. 

Modified Mania once again returns to Devon at the Smeatharpe Stadium for fans of all things modded, while the National Trust site, Killerton Hall, is where to head for a range of classics at one of their Classic Car Days.

Why buy used van and car parts?

As the cost of owning a car rises due to hikes in insurance, maintenance, and running costs, car owners are seeking ways to save money in these tough economic times, which is where used car parts can be beneficial. Nowadays, people can benefit from a vast array of choices when it comes to sourcing replacement car parts from scrap yards, thanks to the significant increase in interest. More and more people are finding that it is far cheaper to keep their existing car and repair it with used car parts rather than paying for a new model or expensive garage fees. You can source new, reconditioned or second-hand parts from scrap yards, and are usually spoilt for choice when it comes to options. 

Aside from their excellent value for money, there are tons of other reasons why buying used parts is a great idea.
