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.
