2003 Vauxhall Vectra Club 16V in green at our car breakers yard in Bolton

Posted on by

This green Vauxhall Vectra Club 16V with a 1.8 litre petrol engine has just landed at our car breakers yard! We’ve nicknamed this vehicle ‘Frosty’ in celebration of the 34th birthday of Jenny Frost, ex-Atomic Kitten singer. Like Jenny, this vehicle has had a successful pop music and television career and, like Jenny, has chosen to spend its remaining years in a scrapyard being gradually dismantled into its component parts. Both are well-known for their well-maintained body panels, and while Jenny Frost presents the TV show ‘Snog Marry Avoid’, this car presents the general public with great value car parts. So if you need parts for your Vauxhall Vectra, come on down to Bolton’s favourite car breakers yard and take a gander at this little runaround – we’re sure you’ll be ‘Atomic Smitten’ with it..!

2001 Ford with a 1.2 l petrol engine to get scrapped at our Preston scrap metal yard

Posted on by

Check out this Ford. It has a 1.2 litre engine and is filled with helium balloons. We’ve found that by making cars float around a couple of feet off the floor, we can make a significant difference to their fuel consumption. We normally replace the tyres with wings to help propel the motor along, with an anchor in the back seat to drop whenever one needs to stop. In some cases we’ll also replace the normal gas-guzzling engine with one fueled by worms. This Ford is currently going through that transformation and should be fluttering off to the big scrapyard in the sky over the next couple of days, so if you’re after any non-avian Ford car parts or Ford engines then contact Metro Salvage today on 01204 388 488!

Wigan Skip Hire

Posted on by

Here at Metro Salvage, we’re always interested in broadening our horizons, taking on new opportunities, following our dreams, chasing the next high (wait, what?) and so on. That’s why we’re proud to announce our latest venture, Wigan Skip Hire! We’re offering skip hire to customers throughout Wigan and its various glamorous locales, at the affordable rates you’ve come to know and love from our friendly car breaker team. From big Skips to little Quavers and everything in between, if you’ve got something you need removing, and it’s smaller than a skip, and it’s too big for a bin, and it’s not a liquid or a gas, we want to hear from you. Don’t delay – who knows if we’ll be offering this service tomorrow?

It’s a crazy world we’re living in, boys and girls. A world where car breakers yards can suddenly start offering arbitrary, tangentially-related secondary services on a whim. What’s next – pizza deliveries? Dog grooming? DNA testing? There’s only one way to keep on top of the latest schemes our gaffer dreams up – by subscribing to our blog with your RSS reader of choice (or mindlessly mashing the F5 key) and staying avidly tuned into our daily updates of insanity!

1995 Suzuki Vitara JLX 16V in white at our car breakers yard in Bolton

Posted on by

This white Suzuki Vitara JLX 16V with a 1.6 litre petrol engine has just landed at our car breakers yard! It looks like the kind of car you’d drive around a prehistoric dinosaur-filled theme park created by an eccentric billionaire scientist, inevitably ending up in a sticky situation when the security system fails because one of the employees is trying to steal dinosaur embryos for a rival company, only to be saved by the plucky grandchildren of the billionaire who are able to somehow re-activate the security system. Actually, that reminds me of a film.. I think it was ‘You’ve Got Mail’..?
