It all started back in 1955. We commenced trading as Pirton Corner Auto services
as a service station where we offered spares and repairs. The stores expanded to
be the largest stock of engine spares and exhausts in the country.
In 1960 we
started a breakdown and accident recovery service as a franchise for the AA and
RAC and were also the first garage in Gloucestershire to operate as The National
Breakdown Recovery Club (later changed to green flag) We also developed an
accident recovery service and had contacts for almost every garage and main
dealer in Gloucestershire.
In 1970 stores and accident recovery both flourished
and a demand for parts and accident damaged vehicles continued to increase. We
then sold the Pirton Corner premises and bought a plot of land in Twigworth. We
then changed the company name to Breakdowns LTD. We were probably the first
breakers yard in the country to fully dismantle write-offs and offer a complete
off the shelf service. Sales of second hand spares continued to expand. We later
decided to drop AA and RAC to concentrate on accident recovery for garages and
ourselves.
In 1975 due to the rapid increase in sales of spare parts the Company
name was changed to 'Twigworth Breakers LTD.
In 1985 we ceased the accident
recovery service completely to enable us to expand our premises and focus on
dismantling vehicles that were mostly from insurance companies. Over the next
few years we bought more land and expanded to our present size of over 50,000
square feet of parts and storage and enough room for over 400 cars to be stored.
At Twigworth Breakers all of our staff are well trained in what they do and
provide a friendly service. Why not pop in to our workshop today, call us on
