VW Scrap Yard & Used VW Spares in Kimberley

Kimberley is dry, and dry is hard on a car in ways that do not show up on the odometer. Dashboards crack, door and window seals shrink and perish, coolant hoses go brittle, wiper linkages seize and interior trim fades to a different colour from the panel next to it. So while Highveld buyers phone us about engines, a fair share of Sol Plaatje orders are about the things heat destroys — seals, hoses, trim, mirror glass, headlight units gone milky from UV, and aircon compressors and condensers that have been asked to work every single summer day. The town is the natural parts centre for a very large, very empty district: owners from Barkly West, Warrenton and Douglas come here because the alternative is Bloemfontein, 160 km away on the N8. From our side the run is about 470 km down the N12 through Wolmaransstad, which is a comfortable next-working-day courier leg for normal consignments and two days for anything on a pallet. Golfs, Polos, Vivos and Caddies make up most of what we quote, with Amaroks on farm and roadworks duty behind them. Ask us for photos of any trim or panel before it ships — sun-faded parts are exactly where a used purchase can disappoint.
