About Sheffield

Known fondly as ‘England’s largest village’ thanks to its friendly inhabitants, Sheffield is a city and metropolitan borough in South Yorkshire. Unfortunately, the Steel City is as well known for its congestion as it is for its friendly population. A poll revealed the city to be one of the worst congested cities in Britain, where an average journey took 27% longer than it would have in free-flowing traffic.

Sheffield also has a troubled road accident history, with Broad Lane and Angel Street in the city both suffering two fatal accidents in the past eight years. Other notable accident blackspots within the city are the junction of Fitzalan Square and High Street, and Sidney Street/Brown Street. The 16-20 age group is the most prominently involved in road traffic accidents, although thankfully serious and fatal accidents fell by 45% in the past nine years. Car accidents increase the demand for parts because of the repairs that are required to get the vehicle back on the road.

The Sheffield Parkway connects the city centre to the main motorway link, which comes in the form of the M1. This skirts the north east of the city and links it with London to the south and Leeds to the north. The nearby M18 connects Sheffield to Doncaster, where Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield is the nearest international airport to the city. Great road connections increase traffic in the city but make the delivery of car parts to motorists swift.

Sheffield was home to British car manufacturer Sheffield-Simplex from 1907, which designed luxury touring cars to rival Rolls-Royce. The Motorpoint Arena is definitely worth checking out for its events, including Top Gear Live.

Why buy used car parts?

Cars are an expensive part of modern life, and can unfortunately put car owners under financial strain if something goes wrong - particularly during tough economic times. This has led to many people turning to used car parts when it comes to repairing their vehicles. Buying second hand components from breaker yards is the smart choice; giving you the freedom to browse for exactly what you need at the best possible price. With the cost of new parts rising and mechanics proving to be pricey, scrap yards are a great way to save money.

As well as their money-saving abilities, breaker yards are also great for sourcing parts that may usually be rare or hard to come by, including old parts that may not even be in production any more. This gives you the opportunity to fix up your existing motor rather than having to fork out for a new one, which is better for the environment and your bank balance. The staff at breaker yards are known for their wealth of knowledge, and are usually happy to help out if you are unsure what part is the best fit for your particular vehicle.
