1277.0. "Quality Breakers" by CHEFS::MADGEJ () Thu Nov 01 1990 11:02

    Don't know if there is already a notesfile on this subject - I have
    had a look but couldn't find one.
    
    Does any body know of any good car breakers that strip partly smashed
    cars and resell the parts that are not damaged - I am trying to get 
    hold of an Astra Belmont rear spoiler for my car and was wondering if 
    I could get hold of one from an old Belmont that has maybe been in a 
    front end smash. 
    
    I couldn't believe that a peice of plastic for the rear of the car
    could cost 124-00 plus having it fitted and sprayed to match.
    
    Anybody got any good ideas in the Reading/Basingstoke Newbury oxford
    area ?
                           
    Regards

1277.1	Blackbushe Motors ? - breaking yard	CRATE::RUTTER	John Rutter @SBP	`Thu Nov 01 1990 12:05`	15
	� Does any body know of any good car breakers that strip partly smashed � cars and resell the parts that are not damaged. Blackbushe Motors do this - I got a gearbox from them some years ago, quite cheap. Don't know if they would be called 'good', but if they have what you want, that should be 'good enough'. I do not have their number, but they are easy to find. If heading East on A30 past Blackbushe Airport, turn left at roundabout, then immediately left again. They are a short way along this (twisting) road, on the right. Hope that helps, J.R.

	Passey's on Turnpike Industrial Estate in Newbury might do. There is a breaker on the West side of the roundabout at the southern end of the M329. Failing that there are a whole bunch in Yellow Pages
1277.3	Brierley's in Twyford	IOSG::MARSHALL	Waterloo Sunset	`Thu Nov 01 1990 14:26`	1
	Just North of the railway station.
