SCRAPPY DAPPY DOO!
It's been a busy week in the Yard, the pace is picking up since coronavirus ground everything to a halt.
Steadily it's starting to feel like things are getting back to normal again as we tiptoe out of lockdown.
And because we've had to make adjustments like every business has, we've seen online sales soar while our breakers yard in Bolton has had to limit operations in person.
The Scrappers understand that people need to stay on the road and we can play our part in ensuring that happens with our vast used car parts depot.
"Since the coronavirus outbreak sales have shifted more online which means we can still keep people on the road thanks to our online used car parts store," says Terry Walker The Scrappers founder.
"You can go on to our website and see all our stock and you can actually order on the website and the part will be delivered to you usually the next day by a courier.
"We are also social distancing in the scrap yard."
If you're looking for a particular part, just search our thousands of quality used car parts or fill out our parts request form here.
Check this picture out, who says you can have art in a scrapyard.

It's a picture of catalytic convertors, but doesn't it look like something you'd find in the Tate Modern?! ➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️➡️
Meanwhile, how's this for a fast turnaround?..
Yesterday we wrote about how we've stripped enough copper wiring out of cars in the past ten years that it could wrap around the world four and a half times!!
Moments after posting the news, Terry was contacted by a firm in Doncaster wanting to buy some copper from us.
So today the copper was taken to the firm in South Yorkshire where it will be granulised.
It will get ground into millions of pieces and then it'll go into another machine which will filter it down to pure copper.
Keep checking in because soon we will be posting the whole process in a video so you can see what happens to the copper wires next...watch this space...
In other news we picked up a transit van in Warrington. Sold the engine on to a man in Barcelona.
We also picked up a Fiat de Carga in Preston and sold that engine to our contact in Barcelona too.
Usually when we are exporting engines we will get approximately 100 engines together, we will send a lorry in and load it. And they will go to our man in Barcelona.
"We have been dealing with him for over 12 months now and I've only ever met him once in person," says Terry.
"But he's happy, we're happy and so are hundreds motorists too.
"When they engines have gone we do the breaking for other parts and then after that it's the scrap, the big scrap pile you see in our yard ready for the ripping and gripping," explains Terry.
"It's usually takes about four to six weeks for us to get 100 engines ready for Barcelona."

Lastly check out this gas extracting machine.
It's to extract air con gas, or other gases. It requires specialist training to use, but shows how we take de-pollution and safety seriously.
