About Doncaster

With its strategic location in the UK, Doncaster has been a communications hub for centuries. It was on the Roman road from Lincoln to York and then the Great North Road, or A1, which was the primary route for all traffic from London to Edinburgh. Thanks to the excellent transport links, the Metropolitan Borough of Doncaster is home to numerous distribution centres for major retailers.

Motorists living in Doncaster benefit from easy access to the UK’s motorway network. The A1(M) and M18 motorways run straight past the town and it’s within 20 minutes of the M1 and M62 motorways, allowing for fast journeys to the rest of the country and the efficient delivery of car parts. Other roads in the area are the A638 that runs north to south through Doncaster town following the route of the A1 prior to the building of the Doncaster bypass in the 1960s, and the A19 from Doncaster to York and Newcastle. 

Even with such fantastic road connections Doncaster has relatively low car ownership rates in comparison to the rest of the country. Despite only just over 70% of households owning cars, accidents are an unfortunate reality, and the more accidents there are the higher the demand for replacement car parts. In 2013 the number of slight road collisions was 691. The number of these less serious accidents has been steadily decreasing over recent years; in 2005 there were 1,022. The number of casualties has also been coming down. 

Car enthusiasts can enjoy a number of car shows in Doncaster. The birthplace of Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson benefits from the Doncaster Classic Car and Bike Show and the Doncaster Classic VW Festival, to name but a few. Whether you are passionate about motoring or not, if you own a car, maintenance is unavoidable. Doncaster’s enviable location in the UK means it’s well placed for the delivery of car parts. 

Why buy used van and car parts?

It’s no secret that driving is not cheap. Whether it’s filling up your car with fuel, paying for annual road tax or shelling out at the garage for costly repairs, the price of car ownership seems to be going up. With the hard economic times that we have faced recently, many more people are choosing to keep their old cars rather than buying a new one: the average age of cars on British roads is at a 30 year high. However, older cars require more maintenance and it can be galling to shell out more than the car is worth to buy the parts necessary to keep your vehicle on the road. This is where used car parts come in. 

Second hand car parts are available at much lower prices and they can have many more miles left in them. Scrap yards are full of bargains, with even brand new parts being available cheaper through breakers than elsewhere. If you need any help finding the right part for your car simply ask one of the staff, they are very knowledgeable.
