About Northern Ireland

Those living in Northern Ireland benefit from a well-developed transport infrastructure with three airports, major sea ports and numerous motorways, allowing for swift delivery of car parts across the region. Many more motorways were planned but the project was cancelled in 1975. The motorway network mainly links Belfast with the rest of Northern Ireland; for example, the M1 connects the capital with Dungannon and the M2 goes to Antrim. The busiest road has been named as the M2 Foreshore, which in 2004 saw an average of 113,400 vehicles in one day. The next busiest roads have been listed as the M3 (Lagan Bridge) and the A12 Westlink. 

With 5,592 miles of roads in Northern Ireland, accidents do unfortunately occur, which results in a need for car parts to repair the damage. 5,820 injury collisions were recorded by the Police Service of Northern Ireland in 2013, with the majority of these accidents being caused by drivers not paying attention. These resulted in over 9,000 casualties and, sadly, 57 fatalities. Some of the most dangerous roads in the province are Upper Newtownards Road in East Belfast and Antrim Road in North Belfast. The Fermanagh Police Area had the highest number of fatalities in 2013.

Car ownership is high in Northern Ireland with 34% of households having two or more cars. All cars require regular maintenance and breakdowns are an unfortunate possibility. This explains the demand for car parts in Northern Ireland. Car enthusiasts are well catered for with the website ReallyMeanSounds.com providing a great forum and event calendar where you can find listings for events such as the Ultimate Car Show in Larne and RSOC Ford Show in Titanic Quarter Belfast.

Why buy used van and car parts?

Car parts are significantly cheaper when second hand. This allows motorists to save substantial sums when repairing their cars. The cost of motoring is high enough, even without taking into consideration forking out for expensive parts. Buying used parts from scrap yards is a real alternative and one that many people are choosing, hence the huge growth in the used car part industry over recent years. You can source high quality used and reconditioned parts from breakers who boast great experience in the motor trade. It’s also possible to find brand new parts from breakers at lower prices than you can find elsewhere. If you need any assistance finding the exact part you need, speak to one of the workers at a salvage yard; they’re likely to be able to point you in the right direction. 

Scrap yards are also fantastic places to discover low cost parts for rare and old cars that would normally be hard to come by. If you are looking to save money on car repairs, breaker yards are a great choice.
