About Stockport 

As a large town just a stone’s throw away from Manchester, Stockport is a hive of activity when it comes to road traffic. Lying less than 10 miles from Manchester city centre, the town has become increasingly popular with commuters and shoppers heading towards the city, meaning that traffic can be an issue - with nearby roads becoming particularly congested during rush hour. 

The Manchester orbital M60 motorway runs through the town, crossing paths with the A6 which runs south towards Derby. These two roads provide the main links between Stockport and the rest of the country, and help to facilitate the swift transportation of car parts in response to rising demand on the outskirts of the Greater Manchester area. Stockport bus station is one of the largest and busiest bus stations in Greater Manchester, serving as a terminus for many services across the borough and causing an increase in the volume of traffic on local roads.

Popularity with commuters means traffic woes are rife, particularly for those using the M60  through nearby Cheadle; this was named as one of the worst journeys into work in the country, with more than 40% of drivers using this stretch failing to arrive at work on time due to the traffic. The junction where the M60 meets the M67 was recently named as the worst in the country for delays, coming ahead of even the M25 and the M5 near Bristol. 

Traffic can unfortunately mean an increase in accidents, which heightens the demand for car parts. Nearby London Road North named as one of the most dangerous roads in the area and dubbed “The Mad Mile” by locals. Cheadle High Street has recently taken steps to improve safety on what has become a notorious stretch, while a speed camera positioned on the M60 near Bredbury was named the busiest in the country after snapping 9,326 speeding vehicles in one year, after being put in place following a spate of fatal accidents relating to speed.

Why buy used van and car parts?

The cost of living in the UK is rising, and more and more people are feeling the pinch. This means that for car owners when something goes wrong it can be the thing that tips them over the edge financially, causing a huge strain. This no longer has to be the case, and it’s all thanks to breaker yards. Choosing to fix up and repair your existing vehicle is the smart choice; not only can you buy used and reconditioned car parts, you can also locate new parts from a breaker yard at a fraction of the usual cost. 

The promise of a bargain is not the only good thing about buying parts from a breaker yard. Repairing your existing vehicle rather than having to fork out for a new one helps to minimise waste and reduce the impact on the environment. You’re also likely to be able to find a huge range of used parts available, including spares for old, rare or classic cars that may usually be hard to come by or could cost a small fortune elsewhere.
