Motor racing teams rely on Silverlake for reclaimed car parts
The motor racing community, including the C1 Racing Series and the Club Racing UK rely on Silverlake to help them keep their cars racing safely and at a fraction of the retail price of new parts. Our reclaimed parts give savings of up to 75% on RRP. That can only be great news because the wear and tear on race cars sees them needing replacement parts far more regularly than domestic cars.
There’s also the need to get the car repaired quickly, in time for the next race meeting. When you order reclaimed parts from Silverlake they are dispatched the next working day. You’ll get none of the delays that can often now be the case when ordering new parts. We compete ourselves in the C1 Racing Series and even take reclaimed parts supplies to the race days so that any of the race team mechanics can get hold of parts to help with unexpected running repairs on the day. And anyone involved in motor racing knows how often the unexpected can occur!
Silverlake is certified to the VRA and eBay UK Standard for Reclaimed Parts. This means our customers, which include insurers, bodyshops, garages, fleet operators, motor racing teams and the general public can have 100% confidence in the quality of our reclaimed parts service. Only car parts that are non-safety items are reclaimed. That can include doors, panels, bonnets, wing mirrors, engines, gear boxes and more. And, not only can you rely on us, we make life easy by delivering the part direct to your door with our nationwide delivery fleet.

For those of you who prefer to do your own dismantling rather than use our full-service facility; we have stocks of over 350 cars with a huge range of makes and models in our U-Pick-It yard at our site in Shedfield, Southampton. 
You can visit the site and strip your own parts to take away and use, paying as you go at our Parts Reception Desk. You might also be tempted by the huge range of part worn tyres in our tyre bay which can be fitted and balanced while you wait.
Recycling and re-using car parts isn’t just great for saving money. It’s also great for the planet. It keeps racing cars cost effectively on the track and creates less carbon emissions than producing and shipping new parts. Everybody wins!
