In Bolton, around 43% of households have access to at least one vehicle, with around 25% having access to two, according to the most recent census data. While Greater Manchester’s Bee Network provides strong public transport links, it’s clear that many residents of Bolton are still choosing to rely on driving their own cars to get around. However, this becomes a lot harder if the car you’re driving is struggling to compete with the hustle and bustle of this busy town or is no longer roadworthy. That’s why so many drivers are looking for a way to get rid of their old, inefficient vehicles.
