Roath Auto's is an ideally located business, (and I don't mean that it simply enjoys the supreme…read morebenefit of being directly next door to the ever wonderful Sue's Breakfast Bar... although I clearly factor this into the equation!). What I actually mean is that Roath Auto's is at the business end of City Road, closer to the major routes leading into the hub of the city centre, where the road is broader, and there's space to breathe. Access by road to this end of the street is eminently more easy than the other end. Roath Auto's specialise in car and commercial vehicle parts, and have been around long enough to know their business inside out. They carry parts for all makes and models, along with quite a few significantly less expensive generics that will do the job just as well as the branded items, but at half the cost. They keep prices keen on all of their stock, and their level of service is excellent. Obviously the more costly and larger items sometimes need to be ordered in, but lead times are good, and they will notify you of the arrival of your order if you request it. Great!

Bessemer road is my local so to speak and is also one, if not the, newest refuse recycling centres in Cardiff. As such it recycles pretty much everything, bar asbestos and a few other hazardous materials.

Keep your eyes peeled. One time I visited Bessemer close I was lucky enough to see an urban fox (see photo). He just sat and watched us - what an amazing experience!
