About Croydon

Less than 10 miles south of Charing Cross, Croydon is one of the largest commercial districts outside of central London. Situated in the transport corridor between the capital and the south coast, Croydon’s roads are extremely busy with commuters, residents and students alike. The town centre, however, is largely pedestrianised. The A23 Brighton road travels through Purley and Merstham and the A22 goes from Purley to the M25 Godstone interchange, about 30 miles away. Croydon is easily accessible from locations around south London and the South East, aiding the delivery of car parts.

65% of adults living in Croydon have access to a car within their household. This means that the roads of Croydon can be heavily congested, especially during rush hour. A 2013 study found Wellesley Road to be the eighth most congested road in London, with peak time traffic reduced to an average of just 1.14 mph between 8am and 9am in February 2013. Heavy traffic can increase the number of accidents, which could explain the high demand for car parts in the region.

Unfortunately, the London borough recorded the highest number of road deaths across the capital between 2010 and 2013. The local council is planning to reduce the speed limit to 20mph in certain residential roads in a bid to lower the number of accidents.

Petrol heads in Croydon can enjoy the Heritage Festival’s classic car show in Purley and the various London to Brighton runs which pass nearby.

Why buy used car parts?

With many people having to tighten their belts over the last few years, one area that you can look to save money is motoring. The cost of owning a car just seems to be going up, however you can reduce the burden by buying used car parts. Second hand car parts from breaker yards are original manufacturer parts from cars that have been scrapped. These parts are thoroughly checked before being sold on so you can rest assured that you’ll be buying a quality part with many more years of life left in it.

Britain’s car stock is ageing as more people choose to repair their older cars rather than trading them in for a newer model. Repairs can seem expensive but using new, reconditioned and used parts from breaker yards can help to avoid the high cost of parts from main dealer garages. You’re sure to save some of your hard earned cash.

Car parts sourced from scrap yards, including new components, are cheaper than you’ll find elsewhere and you can also find hidden treasures such as spares for some rare or classic vehicles which may otherwise be hard to come by. If you need help choosing the right parts for your car, ask the knowledgeable staff at the scrap yard who can help point you in the right direction.
