Lakes
Has anyone been to Lakes (Volvo breakers on A1 near St Neots) recently, and can tell me if they're still trading, please?
Whenever I ring, I go straight through to voicemail. I've tried leaving a message and also emailing, but so far no response. I'm wondering if they've finally retired and wound up the business. Thanks Stephen

According to discussions on facebook they no longer answer the phone but are still trading on a cash sale basis. I do not have any personal experience tho'.

I wondered this too as I could do with a few bits - their website is no more. They had plans to wind it up and sell the land, but haven't been past in a long time.

I go past quite often and it looks to me like nothing has moved on their forecourt since 'lockdown' began, unfortunately I go past in the small hours of the morning so don't know if they're there in the daytime.
I never got any joy at all out of their website in the past and even on the phone it wasn't easy, fortunately being relatively close it wasn't too much of a journey to go in person, they always struck me as being 'old school'.

Interesting...! Thanks, all.
Their website seems to be up and down. It disappeared for a bit, then re-appeared, then disappeared again, but was back up last week. Sounds like the only way to talk to them is to turn up in person...

Update
I can confirm they are still operating. I managed to get through by using one of the mobile numbers on their website.
