British and Commonwealth English term for a person or business that dismantles end-of-life vehicles for parts and scrap. The US equivalent is 'auto wrecker' or 'junkyard operator'. Car breakers typically operate 'breakers' yards' where salvageable parts can be bought cheaply by DIY mechanics. The term is standard in the UK automotive trade and repair culture rather than particularly slangy. The term is instantly understood across all Commonwealth countries.
