Gerland car breakers Cork

chamlis

Hi does anyone know if there is a place in Cork maybe called "Gerland" Scrapyard/dismantlers/car breakers?

Ta in advance. Looking for parts for a Suzuki Swift 99

junkyard

Gerlan car parts are in Rutland street in Cork their phone number is 021-4968500 as far as I know. You could also try Great Island Motors in Cobh, phone 021-4811609, they used to be Suzuki dealers and have scrapped loads of Suzuki's over the years.

It is the most bizarre place to have a car dismantler though! Pretty much the center of the city, and a very valuable site.

McCarthys in Watergrasshill are also quite good.

Also in Cork "Big Sean's" up the mountain outside Ballincollig (near Ovens I think). It's a rare spot. :rolleyes:

Thanks again guys. I'll be in the city tomorrow on business, need to pick up a few spare parts.

Is it what! Kind of a car Hell - where bad cars go when they die! If you know what you want then it's a great place. Haha, it's a form of entertainment getting a part out of there.

All new provisional licence holders should be brought up there and shown just how much a car will disintegrate in a crash and just how lucky you would have been to walk away from some of the cars there.

Big Sean's gives me the creeps tbh, everytime I go up there I get the impression I might not get out alive. If anyone's seen the film "wrong turn" and have been to big Sean's they'll know what I mean.:)

Do you mean U-turn? Jennifer Lopez is in it? And yes I do know what you mean!

*Edit: just to clarify, Junkyard is referring to a different character in that film, I think. If you go to big seans expecting to see anything resembling J-Lo you will be sorely disappointed!!

chamlis

Is it kinda like those VW beetles in Herbie Rides Again? That one zombie one from the junkyard. Scared the sh*te outta me when I was a child. Don't think I'll be going to Big Seans...

Could you not just fit the engine and sell it on the open market?

Can anyone direct me to McCarthys in Watergrasshill?

junkyard

If your coming from Rathcormac you'll need to take the old Watergrasshill road and as your heading up the hill into Watergrasshill there used to be a filling station on your right, it's boarded up now I think but the buildings are still there, take the next left and they're on the left after about a quarter of a mile. If your in the area just ask around, they're well known.

I was wondering for a while there:) I took a spin up there a few weeks ago and it looked closed, couldn't see any cars there.

If you coming from Watergrasshill take the second bridge to the right over the M8.
Drive a half mile and you will be there
