Pillar 2: The Environmental Good (For The Planet)

While it might be a costly experience for you personally, the planet benefits from local vehicle wreckers in major ways which are far-reaching. When you choose a used part, You are choosing GREEN for our planet.

The greenest part of a car to buy is the one that already exists. The only really sustainable thing is re-use. Think of the vast amounts of energy and resources required to produce a new car part from scratch. It involves mining iron ore and bauxite to make a liquid that can be sprayed on cloth; drilling for oil to give raw materials for plastics, and running massive factories that consume vast amounts of energy and water. And all of that comes at a massive carbon cost.

When you buy a used part from WA Auto Parts, that entire energy-sapping and damaging process is eliminated. You are saving:

Energy: Steel and cast aluminum need to be forged, plastic needs molding — all of which are extremely high on the power consumption scale. Fuck polycarbonate, you don’t need to build a stupid robot out of it when re-using an existing part saves 99.9% of that energy.

It’s made out of it… Raw Materials You’re reducing the need for new “virgin” materials, which means more good stuff is left in the ground to help our planet last longer and that less mineral bearing rock is being mined.

Water: Stuff ain’t nothing but water. Thousands of litres of water are saved by reusing parts.

Landfill Space: Every actuator we save is a large complex object then not shipped to, and then our diverted from, a landfill where even if it did decompose will take centuries.

With any of the headlamp, door or alternator from our wrecking yard you get this assurance it was either tested come to pieces only; test just; or inspected coming out of rebuilt. It’s a fast, forceful step that has a tangible and measurable impact. As a responsible leader in the automotive recycling industry, we are proud to provide our customers with nothing but excellence and quality when purchasing our used OEM parts.

Pillar 3 – The Benefit of Time (You)

And what’s the use of cheap part you can’t find when you need it? And here we have the third pillar, which the professional wreckers are best at. In the complex world of global supply chains and just-in-time manufacturing, picking up the right part, especially for an older or less widely produced model would prove more than a frustrating exercise in taking numbers around the auto leaving nothing but car-shaped ashes in the customer’s mouth.

Come In Store:Please click here to contact us At WA Auto Parts you’ll find exactly what you need for your vehicle.We offer the best products at budget prices with excellent after sale services. With a well organised and maintained yard in Perth, we have parts galore. We deal with all makes and models — Japanese, European, Australian, Korean and American vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, 4WDs, vans wagons and dual cabs — so it’s very probable that we’ll have the part you are in search of. That’s less time you’re not driving your car while you wait for the part to be shipped thousands of miles across the country or from around the world, and more time with a perfectly functioning vehicle.

This is especially the case for owners of oldtimers, exclusive models or end-of-lifers. For them, car wreckers are out of question; its almost all the time the only option. Part replacements for older cars after a certain number of years are not available at dealerships, period. We are the recyclers and guardians of those “holy grail” pieces that can mean another few rides on a favorite or putting a bike with nonreplaceable parts back on the street.

And there is the added delight of finding parts that fit perfectly. Need a driver’s side door for your silver sedan? Finding your door in the make and model year of car we have on site means you get a match to your factory paint colour, interior trim and fit at much less cost than painting and alterations.

AN EDITORIAL NOTE ON QUALITY ASSURANCE: HOW WE MAKE SURE THE BENEFITS_YOU GET WITH YOUR CDMUOLUME_ARE REAL30

Conclusion: The Smart, Responsible Choice

The choice is clear. Add to this the significant economic benefits, the key environmental pluses and incredible on-hand availability – in comparison with other less known (as well as more expensive) options for vehicle maintenance – and little wonder that trusted car wrecker services seem set to remain a sound choice.

It’s a time that comes for any car owner eventually. The day you say goodbye. Maybe it’s your dependable first car that saw you through university years or that family wagon laden with school runs, holidays and other memories. Or perhaps it’s a hard-working ute that has finally died after years of hard toil. Los It’s one of those things that, under most circumstances, you just want gone — whether it’s lost to accident, a breakdown of its mechanicals or simply old age, and when you turn over the keys to a wrecker often feels like finality with an exclamation point. But what if it wasn’t?

At WA Auto Parts, we know you’re not at the end; you’re just getting started. Perth’s number one auto wrecker for over 15 years, we’ve had thousands of cars come through our yard. From the outside, it might look like a place cars come to die. But we’d encourage you to consider it from our perspective: as a place where the legacy of an automobile is held up in esteem, its dangers mitigated and its value renewed.

You’ve counted on your vehicle long enough to get you back on the road so now let us help in how it’s last moments look; professionally, respectfully, and with an absolutely unwavering dedication to our environment. Well, it’s time to pull back the curtain and show you how the sausage is made What happens throughout your car after you’ve dropped off at our WA Auto Parts for a service.

1) Intake and initial assessment

The adventure starts as soon as you enter the gates at our home in Perth, Western Australia. Whether it’s towed in, or taken there for one last time drive, your number 1 is priority NUMBER ONE! We realise this is the tricky bit and our friendly team are here to welcome you, help you and keep things nice n easy!

First things first, we handle the paperwork. It’s an important step to reassure the world that we are doing everything right. We can help with the legal transfer and deregistration,->DEREGISTRATION for all around this responsibility! No more loose ends, no fretting about the future.

After the obligatory pleasantries, our judges must roll up their sleeves. That’s where 15 years of deep industry levels of experience from our team comes to the party. What they see is not simply a car, but an elaborate puzzle of potential. C import or domestic, model 1992 on up running or not. Why? As they can check over any car, we have it all here from Japanese to European, Australian to Korean & American Cars – bargain imports to V8 muscle along with cars suitable for those on L or P plates!!

Our assessor walks around the car, letting their trained eyes trail all over it and assessing the potential. Is the engine in that Toyota Hilux still sweet as after it got nailed on the nose? Is the doors and the leather seats in that Holden Commodore are any good? Would this Hyundai i30 be sending another car thousands more kilometres down the road? This initial impression is KEY triage for how we can maximize the worth of your vehicle— value that we put into your pocket and back in YOUR COMMUNITY with fair pricing or affordable salvaged parts.

Depollution-“Making it Safe”

Once no bolt has been unscrewed or part has been removed, the vehicle is then placed in our purpose built depollution bay. This is also where most of the risk to environment resides, and our single biggest liability as a demolition man. Your car is a work of art and an engineering marvel, However it is also machine full of all sorts fluids and substances that you never want escaping out there in our Western Australian environment.

Using specialized equipment and containment facilities, our team treats this process with the attention that it requires. It’s an orderly process, clean and by the book and we catch in a safe way the following:

Fuel, Oil & Coolant: All petrol diesel Engine oil & coolant drained into airtight metallic drums.

Further Fluids: We will also no longer take transmission fluid, brake fluid and wiper fluid.

The Battery: Car batteries contain lead and acidic fluids. We meticulously remove and dispatch them to licensed recyclers who can safely recover their contents.

Ozone-Depleting Gasses: The cooling refrigerant from the A/C is gathered by certified professionals to make sure that those gasses don’t escape.

Other Hazards: We search for, and dispose of, other hazardous items like mercury switches (which are in older vehicles) to ensure all un-deployed airbags go through a safe process.

This rigorous process ensures the car is not a threat to our land or water when it moves to the next stage. It’s a clean shell ready to give back its bounty without cost or injury to the earth.

Step 3: Disassembly & Harvesting – “ The Precise Harvest”

And this is where things start to get interesting after the car has been secured. That is what makes our yard the number 1 ONE STOP USED AUTO PARTS SHOP in Perth. Our Dismantling Station is where the breaking bad art happens, and our crew are artists! They aren’t just tearing cars apart; they are picking them over with a vengeance — and a strategy — to extract the bits that can have another life.

They are streetwise knowledge workers traveling in a tribe that wields encyclopedic expertise about makes and models from all over the globe. They know the exact spot that alternators are located on a Ford Falcon, for instance, or which specific bolts hold a headlight assembly on a Mazda 3 in place; they know how to remove side mirrors from Mitsubishi Tritons without causing damage.

This “careful harvest” is highly systematic:

THE DRIVETRAIN: Now we get under the skin of this car and see what makes it go – Engine and Transmission. These are often the highest cost, and can be the lifesaver donor transplant for another vehicle.

There are, of course, the leading people – starter motor and alternator and radiator and steering rack and suspension members that provide depth to fill out the picture; brake assemblies.

Body Panels & Lights: If the doors, bonnets and Boot lids are good these will be taken as well bumper and guards. Headlights and Taillights Headlights and taillights can be costly when brand new, so they’re a selection essential.

Interior Parts: While this includes whole seats, we also please to offer interior parts that then allow for the greatest impact to your piece within YOUR home.

Every item is inspected as it leaves the plant, for unsurpassed quality. Then, the manufacturer prepares and tests in order to make sure that it matches up to their original standards. Only then is it assigned a part number and entered into our enormous, computerized database.

It’s this attention to detail that means we’re happy to claim that we offer a comprehensive selection of used car parts for sale at our cheapest ever prices. That’s what you’re tapping into by getting in touch with us on (08) 9358 1392 Mon – Fri between 9.00am and 5.00pm WST; this massive resource of awesome, handpicked truck parts 시린을. We’re able to tell you right away if we have just what you need, eliminating the lost time and dollars spent on manufacuring a part.

Step four – the all important transition from car to commodity.

After a team of cannibals gets everything useful, you now have an empty metallic shell. And yet, even to this day, its journey is not over. This monster is all potential – it’s crouched here impatiently, waiting for the day when it becomes raw material.

First, big pieces that are not metal — like the dashes or wire looms on which they were mounted — are removed from the shell. It is then transported to the yard’s most powerful piece of equipment. Inside is a monster hydraulic crusher that smashes the car to a disposable rectangle.

The crushed hulk of a car next goes into a massive industrial shredder. And with a ground shaking crunch, oversized hammers whirling in the air smash everything into tiny fist-sized nuggets within seconds. What comes streaming out the other end is a metal and everything else mixture, where the actual alchemy happens. This flow passes through several separatrices:

Giant MagnetsPulled by Giant Magnets, all the iron and steel (ferrous metals) are removed from the stream.

The Eddy Currents produce a magnetic field so strong that it drives the non-ferrous metals out while ejecting the lighter, valuable aluminum into another container.

Air and Water Jets Air and water jets are used to screen, sift or filter out remaining materials such as textiles, plastics, embers and other unwanted contaminants.

At the very end of that line where a car would sit is a neat stack of raw materials — mostly steel and aluminum of top quality — awaiting purchase in foundries and mills.

Conclusion: That’s One Way to Get Your Car Running

So, what’s up with your car? It was given a new purpose. Its heart could be pounding in a car on the key streets in Perth. Its door would probably have been relatively cheap to fix someone’s accident damage. Some other project’s machine might be held together by its nuts and bolts.

And what about the steel frame that held it up? It’s getting shipped right now to be melted down and reincarnated as a load-bearing beam inside a new building or, who knows, perhaps part of someone’s refrigerator or maybe even componentry in an entire brand-new car — end-to-end recycled.

That is the history WA Auto Parts and that is what we get to open our eyes to every morning. We’re not the end of the road for a car – we’re where life starts again, in your next favorite coffee table. We’re a key part of a circular economy, trying to extract as much value from our cast-offs and leave as little waste behind for our community—and at a do-able price.

Make the right choice, when buying WA Auto Parts, it’s no wonder you trust a professional with more than 15 years of service. You’re picking a team that honors your car’s past and is dedicated to its future.

We want to buy your junk car for cash – give us a call We’ll pick it up and pay you CA$H ON THE SPOT for the vehicle in any condition as long as we can pick it up — CALL US TODAY!. Ring the boys at WA Auto Parts on (08) 9358 1392.

Every car has a story. It’s in the way the driver’s seat is permanently grooved to its owner, the seemingly inconsequential coffee stain on one side of a passenger seat, radio presets that take you back and invisible dings and scrapes from years of hauling cargo. It’s a story of everyday commutes, family road trips and incredible service. But for every car, that narrative ultimately ends. It might be a sudden judder to a halt on the Perth highway or a sneaky, steady splutter in the driveway as vital systems disintegrate.

For others, such a revival is fatally short-lived. A wreck, or a broken car, feels like an issue, like an eyesore. But here at WA Auto Parts, we see things differently. In our case, this is not the end; it’s an amazing new beginning. It’s the start of a cautious, interesting and environmentally crucial process.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller and wrecker in Perth’s Western Australia. For the last 15+ years we’ve built not just a thriving business, but also one of the major building blocks of our resilient community. We also challenge you to look past the “wreck” and with us take a peak behind the scenes of what this car became in it’s gut: GOLD… An unfathomable process for recyclable parts and scrap materials! That, too, is the unfolding journey we see daily.

Stage 1: Arrival and Check-In

It begins the moment a truck eases into our bustling Perth yard. It might come in trailing the stink of a crash with jagged, warped frame tubes; it could arrive under its own power at the hands of an owner who treated it well for years before finally losing interest in a trusty old but outdated steed. Each has its own story, and the first thing we need to do is listen to it and treat it with respect.

Our team, our professional one in person, is meeting the owner, walking them through something we’ve make easy and seamless. All the paperwork reporting and dealing with all relevant bodies, from proving your ownership of the car to emailing you a receipt of deregistration is done so entirely legally in under 24 hours. We appreciate that parting with a car, and especially one with its own story can be quite emotional for some people so we look to make the whole process as easy and stress-free as possible.

The initial examination begins once your car is in our hands, and the older more experienced pros begin assessing. This is where, in fact, our 15 years of history start to matter. Our crew doesn’t behold a wrecked car; it sees nested tiers of potential. They can look at a quite new Japanese SUV, a slightly older Australian 4WD, something like one of the vans available in Europe with all the gear on it, a fairly plain well priced Korean car and of course that big Yank truck and work out what they are worth in no time flat!

Is the block still good? Is the transmission viable? How are the alternator, starter motor and so forth? Are the body panels, doors and lights salvageable? It’s that initial triage process of when a car arrives with us and directing its journey through our facility to ensure we’re able to seek the best possible value recovery from it, for both our customers and for the planet.

Step 2) THE DE-POLLUTION BAY – CLEAR THE THREAT

Well before a single salvageable part is removed from any of the over 50,000 vehicles we process each year, every vehicle that comes into our yard makes its first stop at what we consider to be the most important station in our yard: The Depollution Bay. That’s the very minimum requirement of our environmental pledge. A car in fact is awash with life giving fluids, all of them life sustaining for the operation of your car but some also potentially fatal if not treated properly within our WA conditions.

This is where our techs are working with the skill of microsurgeons. This is no messy drain-training operation. It’s a tidy, clean process too that will save the dregs of your vape juice in a manner that won’t destroy you. We drain the:

Fuel: Gasoline and diesel are carefully siphoning into approved, safe tanks.

Engine Oil & Trans Fluids – The engine and transmission fluids are drained, then stored for collection by select recycling entities.

Coolant (Antifreeze): This toxic liquid is captured so that it won’t end up in the land or water.

Brake & Steering: All lines are totally empty.

But it doesn’t end there. We remove the car battery, made with lead and corrosive acid, and send it to licensed recyclers who can reclaim its precious parts. We also meticulously comb through, and extract parts with mercury — such as old car switches — and disarm airbags, which are packed with chemical propellants.

“And that degree of depollution is our promise to Perth and the environment. It’s a firewall ensuring that the legacy of a car is one, not of waste or environmental contamination but rather value and repurposing.

Stage 3: The stripping station – Kind pickture pfection

Now that the car is clean and sound, it’s time to harvest. This is where WA Auto Parts really leaves all the other wreckers in Perth behind. Busy beeLike a busy little worker bee in its hive, we set about our car-dismantling station and begin the process of removing the vehicle limb by limb.Our head technicians don’t waste any time when it comes to tearing that car down; salvaging every clean part and make it work for us!

This is an expertise that requires a profound, hands-on understanding of the auto engineering. Our professionals service a broad selection of makes and models- from European vehicles to Japanese, American, Korean and Australian automobiles including SUVs 4WDs trucks vans wagons & utes. This gives them the know-how and the perspective they need to figure out what matters most, whether that’s the high-performance engine that goes into a Ford Ranger or the premium headlight assembly used in a Volkswagen Golf or even just the reliable transmission installed in a Toyota Camry.

The process is strategic:

Valued Bits and Pieces: W e carefully remove the “heart and soul” of the vehicle which starts with our strong running engine and transmission. These are the core parts and can give a new life to another vehicle. The recovered, metal-filling catalytic converters are also valuable.

Mechnical/Electronic Parts: We haul off the extras alternator, starter, radiator, a/c compressor and brakes then send them in for recycling.

Body & Interior: Finally we recycle body panels, doors, bumpers headlights and taillights, mirrors and interior items including seats dashboards and radios.

And — critically — “salvaged” is not the same as “dumped in a giant pile.” Each portion of meat we extract is the result of a strict quality control program. We carry out a full cleaning, inspection & test to ensure the product is in complete working order. It is then given a traceable inventory number in our large storage facility and shipped to you.

This is the perfectionism that lets us stand behind the finest used car parts in all of Maywood and give you them at the best price there is. So when they call us on (08) 9358 1392 and ask for a certain part, “We can look it at up in our system right away and check its quality then get it here for them. That’s our business in a nutshell: offering a smarter, healthier, more sustainable alternative to buying new.

Phase 4: The Final Frontier (or, As An Alternative, That Breakdown) — Hulkbro gets broken down later into fodder.

After my mechanics have picked over all of the usable parts, the car becomes nothing but an empty shell — its hulk. But it too is hardly waste. This is where the real hard-core recycling gets under way, grinding down every last shred of the car into materials that can be melted or otherwise converted into a new something else.

Non-metal parts where possible are removed after the hulk is washed, including foam in seats or rubber window seals. There, it is run through what is essentially the most powerful washing machine in our yard: the crusher and shredder. In a display of brut force, the entire frame is flattened and then feed into a shredder, which rips it to shreds about the size of fists in thousands of jagged metal chunks.

It seems a pretty frantic conclusion but is in fact the route to that ultimate bright processional step. As the cut pieces flow through a series of conveyor belts, they pass through a suite of advanced separation methods:

Powerful Magnets: Huge magnets remove all steel (a ferrous metal) from the flow.

Eddy Currents: The remaining material that has filtered through is subjected to a magnetic field and non-ferrous metals will be rejected knocking the useful aluminium away into another storage bin.

Floatation/Air Separation: Only the lightest particles – mostly plastics and fibers in a fraction labeled auto shredder residue – are separated using air jets and wet flotation techniques.

The other sorted materials (a stack of high-quality steel, a mountain of pure aluminum and so on) can then be sold to mills or refineries, where they are melted down and recycled into new goods. The steel from an old sedan may become rebar in a new high-rise, and the aluminum in its engine block could emerge as part of a new soda can or even another car coming off an assembly line.

Conclusion: A Closed-Loop System

We issue the receipt in silence.”) From over here, following this broken car through our gates until it’s shredded back into raw materials again, seven minutes down a thin metal tube; all of sleek green transit and thundering recycle machinery screams both creativity and accountability. Where once there was one vehicle, now there are two important but distinct product flows.

One of the sources?The first of these rivers floods our WA Auto Parts store shelves with a floodplain-like supply of quality-assured, recycled parts; keeping Perth vehicles on the road, saving our customers money “ and perhaps most importantly of all: reducing production’s colossal environmental cost.

The second stream is a flow of raw materials ready to be recycled back into global industry without going through the destructive process of mining and energy-intensive refining from fresh ore.

That’s the circular economy as a living example. It’s a closed-lib system — nothing is trash, and everything could have been found useful in another time. And as a family-owned wrecker in the system for over 15 years, we’ve been proud to be a part of it.”

So the next time you need a part for your car, or it’s time to say goodbye to an old vehicle, we hope you think about this adventure. We hope you will choose the path of sustainability, affordability and responsibility.

So for a quote on your car or to find that special used part from our big selection, simply call the friendly WA Auto Parts team today on (08) 9358 1392.

Have you ever wondered what becomes of a car when it dies? When the engine has died, when the tyres are no longer turning and you find yourself waving an old friend, former lover (or magnet for parking tickets) who has stood by your side for to many years. And for most people, the first image that pops into their mind is a desolate, decaying graveyard of metal boxes. But you know what, here at WA Auto Parts we think a little differently. And now, we see a tale of revival and an eco parable in action,” says Storm The Wall is one story in the ongoing project to preserve our beautiful West Australian environment”.

WA Auto Parts is one of the leading car wreckers in Perth, provides alternative for buying new or second-hand parts. We are environmental caretakers, transforming end-of-life vehicles into glorious sources of reusable and recyclable products. And it’s not just business for us, it’s a commitment to a greener world. Each and every car that comes into our yard is the beginning of an amazing recycling adventure, and it’s one we feel all Perthites need to know about.

It’s the tale of how car wreckers, those unsung heroes of motordom, are leaving their mark. It’s also a story about how your legacy car can have not one, but another life, and then a third or fourth — doing good on the planet for generations. So buckle up as we draw back the curtain and let you see the ridiculously amazing enviro legs we stand on every single day.

Pillar 1: Waste Prevention – Good for What Ails out of Control Landfills

Think about the number of cars we drive on our roads. Now, picture instead that after each one of those, we disposed of it in a landfill at the end of its life. The environmental impacts would be catastrophic. Our landfills would bulge with mangled steel, non-degradable plastics and poisons that could survive dense tribal brew to become our eternal monument to instance of the earth.

This is where the first and foremost important part of what we do here at WA Auto Parts becomes apparent. Modern cars are a complex mass of increasingly intricate components made from an enormous range of different materials. When a car is simply junked, all of that valuable material is lost forever.” Yet with our rigorous recycling regimen, 90% of a vehicle’s weight can be reclaimed. It’s staggering to think that much waste material is being diverted from our valuable landfill space.

“There are countless thousands of cars that reach the end of their working life here in Western Australia every single year. Below, we share why you can be proud to recycle a car when you use a professional car wrecker. The steel frame, the aluminum engine block, the copper wiring, the plastic dashboard the glass windows — almost everything can start over somewhere else.

This is a role we take very seriously here in Perth. Not only are our staff all professional in any type of vehicle body work, but they absolutely live for anything with wheels and the sound of an engine – they love it.Whether you think your beaten old car is ready to be scrapped, we can see something worth saving. We are aware that as we dismantle these autos systematically, it is not only benefiting space but minimizing our community’s environmental presence. It’s a way, tactile and practical, to address an elephantine global problem — and it’s happening hereB in our plant.

Pillar 2 Saving Of Resources – Preservation Of The Scanty Wealth Of Our Planet.

The inputs that feed the making of a car do not, after all, magically appear. They are extracted from the earth during mining and drilling that often harms the broader environment. The mining of iron ore to make steel, bauxite for aluminum and petroleum for plastics is extremely energy intensive and environmentally damaging — it accounts for nearly 10 percent of Australia’s greenhouse gas emissions, uses large amounts of water and can result in habitat destruction due to deforestation and soil erosion.

And that is where our second green arm at WA Auto Parts excels: We conserve. For every piece that we save and every kilogram of metal that we recycle, we eliminate the need to mine for new, virgin materials.

Consider steel, which accounts for most of a car’s weight. Producing steel from recycled scrap uses 76% less energy than that of raw materials such as iron ore. But that’s more than just a number; that is a steep cut in the greenhouse gas emissions driving climate change. By contrast, recycling aluminum is an even more impressive endeavor: It requires a crushing 95% less energy to make aluminum from recycled material than it does by mining bauxite.

I’ve tossed them out here to ride down the compost and this place is a veritable landfill of junkIt’s almost as if people have forgotten they can use this useful material we’ve already produced again, but you’d like I suppose to call us to see if we have model so-and-so motor part in stockWe still have itWhat makes that shockingThe fact that there are still unenlightened folks out there who don’t appreciate just how much our modern world has been masticating the planet, chewing up what is practically stuff for little purpose and letting it sit there and damn near destroy our environment marginRight=25 …..AnywayI’ll proofread when’ “Jesus had broad definition of marriage..” ~BY DENNIS PALUMBO*Gravity technical difficulties: Some pain does segue well without transition to certain thoughts!

Suggestion 3: Polluting the Pastures: Safeguarding our Soil and Water

A car is more than its metal and plastic. It also serves as a reservoir for the cocktail of chemicals and fluids required to operate it, though that can be highly toxic if not disposed of responsibly. Motor oil, trans fluid, antifreeze coolant, brakefluid and battery acid are highly toxic. When an old car is abandoned to corrode in a field or left to rust in a dump somewhere, those fluids soak into the land and eventually seep down through our soil and imperative water supplies.

This brings us to the third – and maybe the most significant ­– environmental leg: prevention of pollution. Vehicle depollution -Before crushing and dismantling, WA Auto parts will ensure that all vehicles are professionally and sensitively de-polluted. It is a necessary first beat in our recycling story.

Our high-quality workmen then extract every drop of body fluid, car or motorcycle cavity into time-tested sealed vessels. These hazardous liquids are removed and collected by waste disposal specialists and disposed of or recycled under strict environmental regulations. If the car battery, containing paste made with lead and caustic acid, is removed carefully. Also existing are mercury switches that can be recycled that you may be able to find and remove from older models before contaminating the environment with this harmful neuro-toxin.

It is this decontamination process that is the ‘stop pollutant’ line for WA’s land and water. It is a methodical, invisible-in-plain-sight aspect of the process and yet one that requires expertise and serious commitment to environmental stewardship. With over 15 years of experience, we have this down to a science and every autorama(arc) that touches our yard is made totally inert as an environmental threat. The above commitment is a basic element of our sense of responsibility and duty to our own community – a commitment that spares no effort to protect from harm the very environment in which we all live and play.

Pillar 4 – Application beyond the immediate: WA Auto Parts and the circular economy

We’ve had a largely linear economy for decades: take, make, dispose. We take things out of the earth and turn them into products that we put in the trash. The environmental structual unsustainability of this model is known to everyone. The future lies in a circular economy — one that reduces waste and keeps resources in use for as long as possible.

And this is where the entire thing comes together. The cars wreckers play an important role as their leaders in automotive circular economy including companies like WA Auto Parts. We don’t see just end of life vehicle; we see multiple opportunities.

Our approach embodies the core principles of a circular economy:

Reuse: The first, and the one that saves the most energy, is reusing parts. We rescue these pieces from the landfill and as a result can offer unbeatable deals on all kinds of car parts! That, quite literally, is recycling at the highest level.

Recycle: The car’s body – While stripped of usable components, a car shell is not waste! It is a rich lode of raw material. Powerful magnets and sensors help separate the different metals and other materials in the crushed vehicle as it is shredded. That high-grade metal, as well as aluminum and plastic scrap before it, is sold to smelters and producers, giving old waste a new life as a marketable commodity.

Remanufacture: Some parts (say, engines or transmissions) can be automatically rebuilt to resale level. With new parts/components replacing those too-worn-to-be-useful at 80% of the cost of “OEM” (original equipment manufacturer) standards or makersʼ specifications for the vehicle owner/public. You receive product good as new and a lot greener on both the energy front and the resource frontier. We are one of the largest suppliers of these reusable components, which feed into the remanufacturing industry.

When we participate in this cycle of participation, production and consumption, we are creating a feedback loop that is healthy for the environment, good for the economy. It creates green jobs, affordable alternatives for auto repairs and reduces our country’s reliance on foreign raw materials.

It’s the day all car owners dread. You’re on the phone with your trusted mechanic, and there’s a sharp inhalation of breath before breaking the news: an estimate for repairs so costly it makes you want to open your mouth and scream. Your mind starts racing. It’s been a good car, your trusty steed for years of commuting the freeways around Perth as well as long runs to the South West. But you find yourself at a crossroads, facing a major financial and emotional tug-of-war.

Do you sink thousands more into an old car, hoping this will be the final repair it will ever need? Or is it goodbye when you take it down to this?

Members of the WA Auto Parts team have spoken to thousands of people from all corners of Western Australia who are in the midst of this predicament. We are in the business for several years, and we understand that’s not all down to a mechanical issue — it is seriously life changing. That’s why we’ve put together this guide. We want you to be the kind of person who recognises these obviously cold-hearted ‘tipping points’, for lack of a better phrasey-wasey – so when (see above) that moment comes, it can’t simply only ever feel like you’re giving up and throwing in the towel and caving in and doing what’s just easiest right now, because instead it’s any kind of rational money decision (even if not perfect) anyone working with their feet on an actual ground could make.

The Tipping Point: It’s Worth More Than Half as Much to Fix the Car

This is the first and foremost rule above all. Call it a misguided business decision and leave it at that. If you are offered to make a business asset at smaller value that is impossible in case we need invest more than the sum of worth. The car is no different.

Take your 12-year-old SUV, worth, oh, let’s say $6,000 in decent running condition in the Perth market. Your mechanic calls to say that the transmission is shot and you need to drop $4,000 for a replacement. That discount is worth two-thirds as much as the car on its own if you consider its value. Risk a very dangerous game with that. You’re never getting that $4,000 back; repairing the transmission doesn’t miraculously raise the car’s value to $10,000. That only returns it to its original $6,000 price, all things being equal and assuming nothing else happens.

Here’s what we say: If the repair ends up costing more than half the potential resale or trade-in value of your car, it doesn’t make sense any more. Now, the car is what’s known an “economic write-off.” Instead of throwing in good money after bad, give seriously good roofers a call (08) 9358 1392 and we’ll chat with you reasonably. We pay you cash for your car as-is and remove the equity from the vehicle, so there is no need to spend money on one more cent.

The Tipping Point: When You Have Encountered a “Catastrophic” Failure

Not all fixes are alike. You change out a beat-to-hell alternator when it becomes history, not have the hellcat of an electro-mechanical version nuke your website. That distinction is all important to grasp.

A typical repair is a “wear and tear” part, like brake pads or a radiator or water pump. On the contrary, a catastrophic failure happens at the very heart of the vehicle. This includes:

Seized Motor: One that has ceased to run due to low oil, overheating usually from a blown head gasket, or internal damages deemed not cost worthy to repair.

Dead Transmission: The vehicle will not shift gears, or it will do so poorly. Transmission rebuilds and replacements are some of the most expensive jobs in auto repair.

Bent or Twisted Frame: When a car is subjected to a serious accident, the chassis might be misshapen. It also renders the car virtually undriveable and almost impossible to steer.

When it’s one of these “big three” that goes wrong, you aren’t talking about service anymore — you’re talking major surgery on a car that may be nearing the end of its useful life. Well, as a junkyard that also needs to carry stock of car parts that will be used again by other drivers after recycling them and restoring them WA Auto Parts believe we would still find value in your dead engine car so long as the salvageable internals are still ok condition like the transmission, Doors, Interior etc. But as the homeowner, it’s rarely financially responsible for you to fund such a repair.

The Tipping Point That Moment When You Fall into the “Re-pair Domino Effect”

Does this sound familiar? You drop $800 to patch up a massive oil leak. One month later the car starts overheating and needs a new water pump. You rectify that, and now a key sensor fails and the car goes into, yes, “limp mode.” This is the “repair domino effect,” and it means there’s no mistaking that your car has checked in to the clinic for cars with geriatrics.

An old car is a home to aging parts. Then when you go and stick one brand­ new widget into all those old widgets, it can stress out the remaining ones they’re installed with—other just­ as­ old pieces in that system will begin to fail next. You are never comfortable driving, because you know the next mechanical problem is just around the corner. Your car goes from being something that represents freedom to get away from work, into something you are totally stressed about and that just eats up money.

The only sure way out of this cycle of ad infinitum repairs is to bite the bullet and call a wrecker. It brings a decisive, final end to the cycle of bills and breakdowns, putting your mind at ease.

Tipping Point: When the Problem is Structural Rust

Yes, we have a beautiful beach but with ‘Freo Doctor’ it can get harsh on our vehicles! It would be handy to know the difference between little, surface rust on a door panel and something that’s deeply set into an car’s under-pinning. A mechanic can price out the repair of a suspension component, but if the frame onto which that part hooks up is bubbling and flaking off, then that restoration becomes your garden-variety waste.

Structural rust in a car is the same as having cancer. It reduces the car’s ability to protect you in a crash, and is basically an automatic fail at vehicle inspection time. It does look as if such a fundamental defect in the very body of the car couldn’t simply be repaired mechanically. Scared of the fact my car might get made inoperable All 1 star ratings until they account for this as an option and not liability to them Then I’ll just keep jamming a rock in my break small adjustment knob making your “in car factory reset” worthless. There is a wrecker-service that can do this for a professional 58 job right.

The Tipping Point When The Car Can’t Pass Inspection Anyhow

If you want to get your wheels on the road?993 – Legal Requirements The following criteria must be met to ensure:. Occasionally the decision to repair or destroy is taken from you by the result of a vehicle inspection (known as “going over the pits”).

Maybe you can win past some kind of major engine issue in your car, only to have it drop out on the inspection for other expensive reasons? Common high-cost failures include:

• Bad cat turns in high emissions.
• Significant chassis cracks or corrosion.
• Major suspension issues.
• Multiple serious oil leaks.

If what the whole bill would be to make your car road-legal isn’t just solving that main problem and instead is a long string of other problems, then that bill can get huge in a hurry. We buy all cars – even if they’re registered, unregistered and not running or have failed its Mot. We have the easy answer to what may become for you an expensive and stressful legal problem.

The Wrecker As a Corrective: Wise Policy at Work, Not Defeat

If you’ve been nodding down the list, there’s your answer. Also, keep in mind that using a car wrecker is not “giving up.” It’s a savvy business pivot. You are acknowledging that your car may not really be worth anything at this point, except as a source of raw material and reusable parts.

This is our specialty. It’s one of the things we are very good at working out here at WA Auto Parts. Whereas we are sitting on all that knowledge around Japanese / European Aussie and Korean cars – We know which motors people want to buy, which gearboxes people are after and even small electrical bits that can keep yet another car on the road. That knowledge includes being able to offer you the best price possible for your scrap car.

Conclusion

The tipping points are something you can influence if you know them. So, you can now apply the mechanics quote vs what you already know about your current cars condition and make the rational judge-ment call that will spare you much heartache and financial loss. What’s wrong with that math? If crunching the numbers doesn’t lean in your favor; if failure would be catastrophic; and you’re tired of repairs or concerned for safety — one way to go.

If your vehicle has fallen under these circumstances, the remedy is not complex.

You’ve made the decision. The old car that’s been faithfully getting you around town has finally expired, and it’s time to send a wrecker. It’s a shrewd strategy — one that clears space, addresses an issue and puts cash in your pocket. But when the decision is made, the next question is a very reasonable one: “How do I get the most money for it?”

There’s a popular belief that when it comes to being bound for the wrecker, the value of a car becomes set in stone and there is nothing you can do about it. Some people even make the costly mistakes that actually lower their payout as they search for a better deal.

We here at WA Auto Parts know that as the best auto buyer and wrecker for over 15 years in Perth, transparency is key to conducting business. We do not want you to be short changed with your car. There is fair deal that is basis of our business. Which is why we’ve put together this straightforward no-nonsense guide to the Do’s and Don’ts of getting your car ready. Adhering to these tips will make the process smooth and painless for you, and hopefully allow you to maximize your cash payout.

Part 1: The DO’s – Brilliant Practices that Build Value

These are simple effective measures you can use to make your vehicle more attractive to a wrecker and the transaction professional and seamless.

DO Keep the Car Complete as Far as Can Be

This, unquestionably is the most significant piece of advice we can give you. When we quote, we are quoting the vehicle as one piece. A whole car, containing all of its parts when it doesn’t run, is worth a lot more to us than one that’s been stripped down. We view it as an entire resource mom, prepared for our systematic deconstruction. A car with missing parts means we’ll have to spend more time trying to figure out what else is missing and it immediately devalues the entire car.

DO Create a Valuable Component List

You don’t want to take parts, but you definitely want to be your car’s best advocate. Before you give us a ring, spend a few minutes doing an “asset audit.” Walk the outside perimeter of your car and jot down (either in your mind, on paper or on your smart phone) any parts that are new or nearly new.

That’s your list of talking points when you call us for an estimate. Don’t just say, “I have a 2010 Holden Cruze,” you should be saying, “I have a 2010 Holden Cruze. The engine’s still running beautifully, and there are four near-new tyres that I don’t want you to forget about – all right?” (The battery was only replaced three months ago, too.)

So whether you are looking for Japanese, European, Australian or Korean car parts, Ford falcon Used car parts Sydney can help! The more you identify them, the better we’re able to do that, and a lot of times it leads to a better offer.

DO Get Rid of Your Personal Items

That may not put a dollar value on your quote but it is one of those essential steps to make the whole experience as smooth and as painless as possible. Our cars are second homes in so many ways, as the years go on. They contain rogue sunglasses, important papers tucked in the glove box, kids’ toys beneath the seats and house keys and garage remotes.

The night before your tow truck is set to come, make a detailed and final sweep of every nook and cranny. Look in the glove box, the centre console, all of the door pockets, under each seat or in between them, back in the boot and even down where you store your spare tyre. This saves the heartache of realising you have lost something, be it sentimental or monetary. It also makes you look like an organised and professional seller, which is what we like!

DO Make Sure the Car Can Be Accessed

Pretend you’re our tow truck driver. It’s not simply showing up at the location to discover blocked-in by vehicles, locked through a gate stuck out behind a muddy compound on four flats. WA Auto Parts does offer free towing like always, so the easier you make your car to get to, the quicker and hassle-free it is for all of us.

If you can, create a path around the car. Of course, if the tyres are flat and hold air then inflating them to their operating pressures can go a long way. Also, if the vehicle is parked on-road, please ensure there is enough space for our truck to be able to drive around. Some foresight here saves a lot of heartache and eliminates the possibility of any hitches or holdups on pickup day.

DO Have Your Paperwork Ready

It’s the missing piece of the puzzle for professional sellers. To finalize the transaction, any licensed wrecker in Western Australia will require 2 things: a. Proof of Ownership (Your Vehicle’s Certificate of Registration / Title) b. Your Matching Photo I.D.

Having these papers at hand and ready to go will show us that you are a bona fide seller when you make that call to (08) 9358 1392. It enables us to close the deal with certainty and most importantly it allows us to get your payment processed swiftly without any holdups.

Part 2: The DON’Ts – What Not to Do at All Costs

As important as knowing what to do is knowing what not to. Avoiding these six common mistakes will find you saving yourself time, money and headaches.

DON’T Strip Parts Off the Car

This is the No. 1 mistake people make, and it nearly always ends up costing them money. It’s simple logic: “I’ll sell it for $30, the stereo is worth $50, and the old wheels are in excellent condition — I’ll get at least $200 out of those.” And then call the wrecker. In reality, this strategy backfires.

When we find a car with things taken off of it, we have to assume the worst. We don’t know what else is missing. Without a battery, we can’t test anything else in the car’s electronics. We need to consider the cost and time of replacing them ourselves. So when we lower our quote for a stripped car, it’s usually more than the small amount you made selling the parts one by one. You could be losing hundreds of dollars off your quote to earn an extra $50. How to sell it is to always sell it as a whole car.

DON’T Waste Money on Repairs

If you know your car has a mechanical problem — an oil leak, say, or a broken sensor — don’t waste money trying to fix it before calling us. You won’t see a return on that investment. As a one-stop used auto parts shop, we have the knowledgebase and a huge selection of parts to get things fixed far more efficiently — and economically — than an average customer can. We won’t be adding $300 to our offer for a simple fix. What its worth to us is a few of the big and raw materials, not the condition that it runs in.

Feel Free to Skip a Car Wash or Detail

We like cleanliness in a car, so don’t spend time or money washing, waxing or detailing any vehicle destined for our yard. A glossy car does not change the worth of its engine or transmission or scrap steel. Within hours of receiving your car at our facility it will be de-polluted to the highest standards and processed for recycling. Its aesthetic beauty has absolutely no correlation with its worth to us. Have a great weekend — and don’t spend it with bucket and sponge.

DON’T Forget the Catalytic Converter

This is an important piece of information, if your car still has its original catalytic converter. Because of the PM’s in them (platinum, palladium, rhodium etc) these are one of the most valuable single parts on a car for recycling. When calling for the quote, it would be ideal to include that there’s still part of the “cat”. Its existence is a big part of a good valuation, and if we can confirm it’s present, we are able to give you our best possible price.

Conclusion Smart Site Preparation for Optimal Return

Presumably there is a good reason why that car is going away, and if you can extract every possible dollar from its passing, it won’t be because you’re lucky. The strategy was basic: Offer a solid, marketable car, be fully prepared with your homework and do not invest one dime on “fixes” or cosmetic details you think should be added at the last minute.

By adhering to these straightforward Do’s and Don’ts, you position yourself to play the leading role in this process. You have a fair, honest, and profitable transaction with a professional company who appreciates your business.
