Hills started as a bodyshop with a garage forecourt over 50 years ago. Our operation has grown rapidly in recent years, initially at our site in Burscough and now at our new home in East Gillibrands, Skelmersdale, conveniently located just off the M58.We began delivering parts in 1997 and a mail order service began the following year. We are now one of the largest and most specialised services of our type in the UK. Our move to a giant 11 acre site in Skelmersdale confirms this and redifines the professionalism of salvage and recycling business in Britain today.
