Sell My Van For Scrap

HAVE NO FEAR, THE SCRAPPERS ARE HERE

Did you know there's a bunch of phobias related to driving and being a passenger?

Experts reckon one in ten of us will be affected by a phobia at some point in their life. 

And if it's car related it can be a right pain if you need to drive for work.

Phobias are when the body reacts and goes into flight or fight mode when there isn't any reason to - it all comes from fear.

Motorphobia - is the fear of motor vehicles in general. The idea of cars can give someone a fright, even if they're not near a car.

Needless to say, no one at our scrap yard in Bolton suffers from motorphobia or we'd be in trouble!

Mechanophobia is the fear of machines, sufferers not only get anxious about cars and other vehicles, they fear other mechanical objects too. 

Well, they'd get one hell of a fright if they saw Gloria, our monster sized grabber in our Bolton scrap yard. 😅

See her in action in our spare parts video below.

Then there's vehophobia which is the fear of driving. Controlling a car causes sheer panic and makes getting from A to B a very frightening prospect. 

Amaxophobia, on the other hand, is getting the jitters while riding in a car that someone else is driving. 

Dystychiphobia is being terrified of accidents and why some people don't like being in vehicles. at all.

Being frightened of road travel is called hodophobia and means sufferers will steer clear of roads all together. 

Imagine heading to supermarket in a chopper because you;re fearful of roads

One thing you don't need to be fearful of, however, is not getting the best price for a scrap car.

We are Britain's best paying breakers yard with selling quality late model used car parts and giving you the best deal on your scrap car.

BMW Car Scrap Yards

MOTOR HOME

We are not sugarcoating today's post. 

Sometimes the scrap industry can fill you with raw emotion.

Sometimes people aren't just selling their car or scrapping it because it's seen far better days. 

Sometimes it's for the plain stark reason they need the money.

We have, over time, had people who come to us and said, "I need to scrap my car" and it's because they've needed the money desperately. 

That car, for some, has been their home. They've literally lived in their vehicle.

Sadly it happens; people live in their cars and they have to part company with their motor for the money. 

They end up leaving all their worldly goods in their vehicles sometimes too, things like clothes and blankets. 

We do pay them the best price for a scrap car and then you watch them go off into the big wide world with only the clothes on their back. It’s heartbreaking. 

You end up wondering what happened to the person to end up with nothing. It’s very sad. 

But one time at The Scrappers there was a guy living in a car. He was sneaking in and living there, inside the vehicle - good job it wasn't about to go in the crusher.

He was a sound lad and our big chief Terry gave him a job on the scrap yard in Bolton.

He ended up staying with The Scrappers team for a while, until he fancied pastures new, but he got back on his feet again, which was lovely to see. 

Yes, you certainly see all sorts in this industry. There is never a dull day, that's for sure. 

The same goes for the range of vehicles that come in for scrap. We get any make and model you can imagine.

There's so many cars we buy

We get Nissan Leaf scrap cars, we get Mercedes scrap yard finds, we get Vauxhall scrap car. 

We get quite a few Vauxhall motors coming in, but we are not just Vauxhall car breakers, however we have all the Vauxhall used parts, cleaned up and in good working order.

People come to us if they're looking for BMW car scrap yards, for BMW engines and BMW used parts. 

Others often ask us, "where is a Honda scrap yard near me?" and we tell them, 'hey we have an enormous range of Honda reconditioned engines and Honda used parts. 

With us being such a vast and versatile breakers yard, we have still managed to keep that friendly family vibe.

People visit us far and wide to scrap a car or get that all important quality used car part they need.

What's bugging motorists..

What a beautiful scorching bank hol weekend we've just had.

Temperatures soared, the sun was out and skies were blue. 

Warmer weather brings out the best in folk, and it also brings out a few more visitors - and we're not talking social distancing rebels - we mean green flies or aphids as they're also known. 

And while this is a normal part of nature this time of year it can mean the extra bug splat on your vehicle when you drive and even when it's parked up.

Bugs like green flies tend to leave a very sticky residue on your paintwork which can be a struggle to remove without damaging paintwork at times.

But there are quite a few ways to prevent the build up of sticky bug sap in the first place. 

After washing your car, apply a wax, this waxy sheen will make it harder for bugs to stick around.

If you do find an onslaught of bug residue, clean your car with a specialised bug spray remover for vehicle. Don't be tempted to use regular household products like washing-up liquid.

There are plenty of bug and tar removers for vehicles which will safely remove any ground in dirts and splats without damaging car paintwork. 

As a popular scrapyard in Bolton and also serving the nation, we often hear of cleaning mistakes motorists make when trying to scrub out green fly sap, for example or bird poop.

Some have used abrasive scourers and sponges and inadvertently scratched their cars. In the long run that costs them dearly as they require resprays.

Others, who may have older cars with exteriors they are not that bothered about any more just let the bugs have a field day and the sap builds up becoming harder to remove.

We've had cars brought into our yard where you literally cannot see through the windscreen because they're that thick in bug splat and sap. T

What sap?! Sticky residue from greenflies 

his happens when they've been parked up, under trees for ages. Cars that don't perhaps run anymore. That's usually when car owners are saying, "I want to scrap my car Bolton way", or "I want to scrap my car in Manchester, "I want to scrap my car Bury way." Or anywhere else for that matter.  

Then they give us a call and we do the rest. 

We are a car scrap yard Bolton based, but with scrap car collection services up and down the country. 

You may have a scrap car Stockport way, or you want to ‘scrap my car Leigh way’, that’s never an issue for our certified collection agents who will collect a scrap vehicle for best price.

It’s not just cars either, we buy scrap vans too. 

Say you want to know the scrap value for a Ford transit van, or you have thought, 'where would I ‘scrap my Audi', no matter what condition; rough paintwork, bug stained paintwork, running or not, we will get you best price for a scrap car and best price for a scrap van.

Quality Used Car Parts

Most of us are aware of the danger of carbon monoxide poisoning around the home coming from a leaky boiler, but many don't realise their car could be leaking the deadly gas too.

Being stuck in heavy traffic could be putting motorists even more at risk. 

The threat of exposure is real and it can cause devastating effects.

But you can take some measures to reduce the risks to almost nothing meaning you can drive your vehicle at ease.

There are a number of precautions you can take to reduce your risk of carbon monoxide poisoning in your vehicle.

Measures range from ensuring that your exhaust system is in good working order.

You could even install a portable carbon monoxide detector for extra safety.

Other tips include checking the exhaust system regularly.

Inspect and repair it frequently. Leaks can mean carbon monoxide enters your vehicle. 

Be sure your engine is tuned up and make sure your emissions system is regularly checked.

The concentration of carbon monoxide in the exhaust of newer cars is low, higher risk for older cars, so maybe it's a good time to scrap a car

Is your motor clocking on a bit? Scrap it!

Levels rise if the engine is out of tune or the emissions system is faulty. This is where you should consider replacing an engine with a safe reconditioned engine.

You should avoid driving a vehicle with holes in the floor or in the trunk, or with the trunk open.

Holes in the bottom of the car could mean exhaust fumes are entering your motor. 

This is notably dangerous if you sit in traffic quite a lot of the exhaust system has leaked.

Always avoid running your car inside a garage or any closed space.

Even if your windows are rolled up or the garage door is wide open you are still at great risk of carbon monoxide levels spiking to dangerous levels.

Stopping and starting your engine in a bid to keep your car warm can also generate more carbon monoxide fumes. 

It can generate more carbon monoxide than if you let it run continuously. 

Remember carbon monoxide is odourless and colourless, you cannot see it or smell it. 

A detector for your car will let you know if you're safe.

If you suspect your car isn’t safe, then don’t take risks.

If certain car parts are letting your vehicle down, or the engine is faulty you can call on The Scrapper to put you right. Replacement exhaust in Bolton, replacement engine in Bolton and replacement car parts nationwide are all options for you because we cover used car parts locally and all over the country. 

We have so many quality used car parts.

Scrap A Car Bolton

PAWS FOR THOUGHT

During the 35 years we've been in the local scrap yards business, we've unearthed some mighty interesting finds.

But once that sticks to mind from a few years ago was a fluffy little black kitten hiding under the bonnet of an old banger in our Bolton scrap yard.

Luckily the cute fluff-ball was in good shape, healthy and bright eyed too and we eventually managed to reunite her with her owner.

She had travelled all the way from Oldham to our scrap yard in Bolton, a good 20 mile journey for the little lass.

We searched frantically on facebook and finally found the kitten's family, it must have escaped at some stage and found its way into the vehicle that was for scrapping and was being collected to bring to our car breakers yard in Bolton.

What's new pussycat?! 

We ended up taking the baby cat back to Oldham to his owners. She certainly had nine lives... well maybe eight now!

In a way vehicles can be similar to cats, having nine lives.

That's because a lot of parts can leave one scrap car and go on and live in another car.

Quality used car parts is something we are very big on here in Bolton. 

Why go and spend a fortune on a new engine, for example, when you can get the best price for a reconditioned engine in Bolton from us or nationwide from us too.

If your gearbox has gone and you need a used gearbox, we have used gearboxes in Bolton waiting to live on in other cars. We have cheap gearboxes for sale that are under warranty and will do you proud.

Best Price For My Scrap Car

NOT YOUR BOG STANDARD

Who needs a service station stop-off, when motorists can have a toilet drop-off in the comfort of their car!

Never mind poop bags for your dog, humans can also enjoy the convenience of their very own toilet bags that even solidify waste so all toilet business can be conducted in your vehicle.

Just look at The Go Anywhere Toilet Kit!! It includes a waste disposal bag which is pre-loaded with Magic Poo Powder, a special gelling and deodorising agent that turns waste into a gel and neutralises any bad smell. The kit also comes with toilet paper, hand sanitiser and an outer zip disposal bag to avoid any unwanted leaks. 

The Magic powder they provide is NASA formulated and apparently deals with the waste directly, helping to "deodorise and break down pee and poop."

And their Magic Poo Powder turns the liquid waste to solids in seconds.

Everything is then deposited in a self-seal bag which will contain the waste until a convenient disposable opportunity arises.

Loo-ser! 

Do the biz, seal the bag and toss in the trash.

You can even get in-car privacy curtains designed to drape around your motor's interior. 

You could argue that all the setting up with the privacy curtains is a bit too much effort and finding a service station might be easier in the long run.

Come to think of it, at The Scrappers, we’ve yet to buy a scrap car in Bolton or elsewhere, where we’ve found an inbuilt loo!

And we don’t talk toilet either, when you think, ‘I want to scrap my car Bolton way or anywhere nationally we don’t take the p*** either.

We sell 1000s of used car parts too, and let us tell you - they are never cr*p!

That’s why we are the leading car breakers Bolton based and beyond, so scrap a car with us. 

We have the best used engines in Bolton and nationwide too.  

We pay top money for scrap car, scrap van, scrap vehicle - any old motor. 

And we will collect your car and take it to our salvage yard in Bolton where it can be recycled at our Authorised Treatment Facility.

Used Engines Bolton

THE ENGINE IS NIGH

Picture the scene; a small town in Germany, New Year's Eve and the year 1880 is ten minutes away... 

Bertha Benz, wife of Karl turns to her husband and says, "Let's go over to the workshop and try our luck once more."

The couple walk over to the little engine Karl has been building for the past few weeks.

He grabs the cranking handle, gives it a turn with his heart in his mouth.

"The engine started to go put-put-put and the music of the future sounded with regular rhythm," recalled Karl Benz, creator of the first practical automobile. History was made.

"We both listened to it for a full hour, never tiring of the single note of its song," he said.

"The two-cycle engine performed as no magic flute in the world ever had...for we knew the greatest kind of happiness that evening in our poor workshop. 

"Suddenly the bells began to ring out, ringing in an era which was to take on a new heartbeat from the use of this engine." 

The first machine built by Karl Benz 

Five years later Benz designed and built the first practical car which was powered by an internal-combustion engine. The original car, Benz's three-wheeled Motorwagen, first started running in 1885. 

Motoring has come a long way since then, but still Benz's heart beats as strongly as ever, even 91 years after his death.

Car engines are the heartbeat of a vehicle and if they fail it usually means people will opt to replace their vehicle and scrap an old car.

But what if everything else in the car or van is running like clockwork and it's just engine failure letting you down.

Then consider replacing your engine with a quality used engine in Bolton from the team at The Scrappers.

We provide the nation with used engines of premium quality. 

We are the best for reconditioned Merc Engines and reconditioned BMW engines in Bolton and UK wide. 

We are the best for any 2nd hand engines, used Toyota engines, recon engines in Bolton and beyond.

We have so many engines for sale, cheap V6 engines, 2L engines for sale and we buy engines UK wide and globally.

Get your motor running
