Breakers vs scrap, and why it matters for price

A scrap yard crushes for steel. A breakers yard parts the car out first: engines, gearboxes, doors, ECUs, wheels, trim, then sends the shell for recovery. We do both, which means we can pay over scrap value when your car is one we'll move parts from in weeks (Astras, Focuses, Civics, Qashqais). For trade accounts and DIY parts, WhatsApp the part you need with the donor car's reg; we'll check stock and quote within the day.

Glasgow breakers, common questions

How quickly can you collect from Glasgow?

Same day in most cases if you ring before 1pm, central Glasgow, the West End, the East End and the south side all sit within 25 minutes of our recovery base. Saturday mornings tend to be the busiest slot of the week, so we'll usually book those for first thing the next working day rather than promise something we can't deliver.

Can you collect from a tenement back-court?

Yes. most of our Glasgow collections are tenement parking. As long as you can show us where the car is and there's somewhere we can attach a tow strap, we sort the rest. Council parking bays, residents' bays, back-courts off Sauchiehall Street or Byres Road, all fine. We just need you there briefly to confirm the right car and sign the disposal slip.

Can I come to the yard and pull a part myself?

Sometimes. depends on the car and where it's sitting in our stock. Smaller bits like wing mirrors, headlamps, ECUs are usually easier for us to pull and have ready for collection. Larger jobs (engines, gearboxes, full rear-end shells) are always us pulling, mostly for safety. Ring or WhatsApp us with what you need and we'll tell you straight.

Do you ship parts UK-wide?

Yes. daily. Smaller items go via Parcelforce 48 or DPD. Larger items (engines, gearboxes, body panels) go on a pallet via APC Overnight or a haulier we use for awkward freight. Most parts ship next working day if you order before 2pm. Edinburgh deliveries are typically next-day; UK mainland 1–2 working days.

What kind of cars do you usually have in stock?

Big rotation, so it changes weekly, but we lean towards what people in the Central Belt actually drive: Vauxhall Astra/Corsa/Insignia, Ford Focus/Fiesta/Mondeo, VW Polo/Golf, BMW 1/3 series, Nissan Qashqai, plenty of older Audis. We don't usually keep premium German V8s long, they go fast.

What's the warranty on used parts?

30 days on mechanical parts (starter motors, alternators, ECUs, etc.) provided you've fitted it yourself or had a competent garage do it. Body panels and trim are sold as-seen, what you see in the photos is what you get, scratches and all. Trade accounts get the warranty extended to 90 days.
