Title: Breaker in Cheshire?
Post by: GregUK on 09 June 2009, 12:41
Can anyone recommend a good breaker for VW parts in Cheshire or surrounding areas (North Staffordshire, South Manchester, etc.)? I'm after some bits for my Mk4.

Thanks :smiley:

Yeah, I'm only a couple of miles from there actually. It used to be great, until recently when they changed their policy and stopped the public from entering the yard. Now you have to order parts in advance. I find that if it's not a common part (e.g. gear knob) or expensive (e.g. gear box), they're not interested. :sad:

I much prefer the type of breaker where I can assess the condition of the part before carefully removing it myself :smiley:

Is that Armstrong Vehicle Recycling? Looks pretty big - I'll definitely have to check that one out. Thanks!

I tried to call Golfnutz in Middlewich earlier, but they've gone (as has their website). I've just found their Northwich number, which rings, so will give them a call tomorrow.

Thanks!

there's volksmine in burslem, stoke
never used personally but hear there good
http://www.volksmine.co.uk/

also agree with you on car transplants, they really are terrible.

which makes me think of summit else, how can car transplants charge vat on a part which has already had vat paid on it when the car was first bought?

I've tried to call Golfnutz several times now, but no answer, so it's looking like their Northwich branch has gone too.

Thanks, Volksmine look good.

I'm guessing Car Transplants will have paid Input VAT when they bought the car, so they need to charge Output VAT when they sell the parts.
