Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

In the auto universe, every car has a personality. There even are a few butch adventurers, constructed on a frame rugged enough to handle the outback’s corrugations. Others are reliable workhorses that underpin businesses throughout our state. And then there are cars such as the Suzuki Swift. The Swift is as neat, chic and cleverly conceived a modern city car you’re ever likely to find. It is the ideal sidekick for weaving through traffic on a busy Perth day, squeezing into those tiny parking spaces in Leederville and cruising down to Cottesloe on a sunny afternoon, all with unbeatable fuel efficiency.

As any COMPETENT and QUALITY WRECKING YARD, WA AUTO PARTS, we have had thousands of cars over our gates in the past 15 years. Each one has a story. So, today we’d like to introduce you all to our latest addition to the garage…a car with a story of it’s own and one which we hope will continue into the future – A beautiful 2017 Suzuki Swift in Super Black Pearl.

This car had obviously belonged to someone who’d taken care of it. You can see from the tidy-looking interior and the apparent condition of the parts that it was well-loved. Unfortunately, its days on the road as a complete car are now past after being rear-ended recently. For most people this would have been the end of the road. But for us, and for you, this is an amazing opportunity. This one here is about to become an organ donor — donating dozens of its high-quality genuine parts so that tens of other Swifts can keep on ticking.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller and wrecker here in Perth! All available with ultra low prices and our free shipping!We are your one stop shop for all the used auto parts you will ever need.

In a 2017 car, that which is within it is as important as the engine. The GLX Turbo was loaded with goodies and these parts can now be used to fix or even add some bling to your own Swift.Strictly speaking, we were not in the market for thistype of hatchback but had watched the local establishment of Maruti Suzuki’scharismatic mini-dinky suppositories – known as the Swift.

Suzuki Swift 2017 Black Wrecking

Heart of the Matter: Engine Bay & Mechanicals

The GLX meetings the star of this show, 1.0 litre Boosterjet Turbo engine. It’s a feat of modern engineering, with the power of a larger engine and fuel consumption that sips like something much smaller.

Full Engine Assembly: Just run in with a mere 85,000km notched-up on the clock this K10C Boosterjet engine is raring to go. If your Swift’s engine has had enough this low-kilometre, well maintained example is the replacement heart you’ve been searching for. It is a cost-friendly solution that will bring many years of solid performance in the punch.

Continuously Variable automatic Transmission (CVT): It is going to cost you a good chunk of money if the CVT needs fixing in 2020 Qashqai. Ours is a good working unit, just bolt it to our car and cure whatever tranny ails you have.

Turbocharger & Ancillaries: The turbo + alternator/ starter motor / AC compressor can also be supplied separately. All pieces are tested and reday to return your car to top driving condition. In a Perth summer, an air con that’s not working is not really optional, and we have the actual part to get you back up and running.

The Sleek Exterior: Body Panels

Beautifully presented in Super Black Pearl, the front end of this Swift looks amazing. Here a chance to fix crash damage / cosmetic issues on your own black Swift, could save you thousands on panel beater and respray.

Doors, Bonnet & Guards: We have the pair of front doors, bonnet and front guards. Both straigh with original factory paint in good condtion.

Mirrors: Electric-folding side mirrors with LED turn signals – the GLX even gets to show this off. This is yet another great upgrade for an entry-level model or simply a replacement for a damaged unit.

Headlights: This car has it’s top end LED projector headlights and Daytime Running Lights (DRLs). These offer high visibility when driving in the dark and help to make the car look sleek and up-to-date. This is the ultimate for those with a damaged halogen headlight.

The Basis: What Sits on the Wheels & Suspension

16-INCH ALLOY WHEELS: Rolling on attractive two-tone 16-inch alloys. If you’re bored with the steel rims wrapped in rubber on your entry-level version, these four alloys (and tyres!), will do wonders for the look of your car. They will fit straight onto any AZ series Swift.

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

At WA Auto Parts, stories are a dime a dozen. They come to our weekly Perth yard sal not on their four tires, but riding the back of a tow truck. These are not merely collections of steel, plastic and glass; they are repositories of memories without number, the silent witnesses to everyday existence. They’ve done the school run, the long-haul trip up to the Pilbara, the weekend away down in Margaret River and are part of countless daily grinds across town. And for more than 15 years, our passion has been to build the ultimate vehicle lifting machines.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller and wrecker in Perth. Our aim is to make this your one-stop used auto parts shop so you can find an gigantic selection of quality used car parts at the best prices. And we’d like to introduce to you today, the latest addition: a strong & honest 2009 White Nissan Navara.

This isn’t just any ute. The Nissan Navara – especially the D40 version – is as embedded in the country’s way of life as kangaroos and utes. It’s the tradie’s mobile office, the adventurer’s escape pod and the trustworthy family workhorse. This white one is a 2009 model in classic white and has obviously had a good life done what it was made for. It’s all there in the sturdy construction and components that still hum with potential. While it may have met a sad fate as an entire vehicle, the truck’s soul and its best components are now ready to service West Australians.’

Think of it as an organ transplant. Though the main body cannot continue, it has vital parts – the strong heart of an engine, the sturdy limbs of its suspension and the clear eyes of its headlights – all available to give a renewed lease on life to other Navaras that are still out there.

A Deeper Dive: The Specs on Our Donor Vehicle

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

Before we get under the hood at the goodies that the Navara contains however, let’s do some specifics. Knowing the specific model is imperative to finding the exact matching part for your car.

  • Make: Nissan
  • Model: Navara
  • Series: D40 (Thai Built) – Important for part compatibility.
  • Year: 2009
  • Colour: White
  • Body Style: Dual Cab
  • Engine: 2.5L YD25DDTi Turbo Diesel – The ubiquitous, torque-loving soul of so many Navaras.
  • Transmission: 6-Speed Manual
  • Drivetrain: 4×4
  • Odometer: 210,000kms – Lots more mechanical life in these.
  • So, let’s go through what this munificent patron brings.
  • The Heartbeat: The Engine Bay & Mechanicals

The YD25 engine is a legend and for good reason. It’s the workhorse that has towed trailers, climbed dunes and turned over faithfully every morning for years. At the moment we are evaluating the whole engine from this Navara. This complete engine is the cheapest and most reliable transplant that you could give to your ute if it’s a bit tired, high km’s or had terminal failure. It is a factory-spec heart — ready to beat in another chest.

But it’s also not all about the whole engine. We understand that, sometimes, all you need is a particular part.

Turbocharger & Intercooler: Does your Navara feel sluggish or blowing smoke? You may have a bad turbo. A new high quality OEM turbo out of our donor vehicle can bring that power and performance back without the eye-watering expense of a new unit.

Gearbox & Transfer Case: The 6-speed manual in this D40 is a strong unit. Or if grinding gears or a slipping clutch has resulted in internal damage, you can easily solve the issue with replacement gearbox components. The 4×4 gearbox is, of course, also available to get you back on the tracks.

Ancillaries: In this car it’s the smaller things that grind you to a halt. We’ve got the tried and true alternator, the beastly starter motor, that Air Conditioning compressor we couldn’t live without (Hello summer season!), and rad/fan assembly all set. Don’t run into a big headache for the sake of a tiny failure: we have an OEM fix.

Nissan Navara 2009 White Wrecking

The Hard Cover: Body Panels, Etc.

A works ute is going to attract its fair share of war wounds. The wrong forklift tine, a tight multi-story car park or an errant shopping trolley may result in more permanent damage. And this is where our 2009 Navara can help bring some pride back to your vehicle.

Ute Tub & Tailgate: They say the back of a Ute is where some of the hardest work gets done. Our donor vehicle includes a straight and sound ute tub, ideal for a straight replacement if yours is dented or damaged. The tailgate is also very solid ready to be bolted up.

Doors & Guards: We have 2x left, and 1x right of the doors. They are straight, white and potentially the most straightforward route to repairing a big side scrape. They are also eager for a new home to protect.

Side Steps & Mirrors: One broken side step or one smashed side mirror, same old. You need these for safety as well as convenience, and we can offer high quality and OE-style replacements.

The Foundation: 4X4, Suspension & Wheels

In a 4×4, it is all about the underpinnings. This is what keep you connected to the road, or that dirt track.

Differentials: Front & Rear What you have: We sell the front and rear differential, complete. If you’re hearing a whirr or clunk from your drivetrain, then this could be all you need to feel confident on the road again.

Leaf Springs: After years and thousands of miles, have you noticed your Navara’s back side starting to sag under heavy loads? A used leaf springs with removable class2 wires for easy installation.

Wheels & Tyres: The car rides on a set of factory 17″ alloy wheels. These would make for a great upgrade from steel wheels, or an all around replacement for your normal wheel. We’ll also check the tyres for tread depth and condition.

The Command Centre: Interior Components

You live a significant part of your life inside your car, Hence … the interior whom you share with. A lifetime of moistened behinds can produce worn seats, broken switches and tired-looking trim.

Seats: The driver’s seat, above all, gets the most hard use. You get the full set of seats from this duel cab that can give your whole cabin a make over in seconds.

Dashboard & Instrument Cluster: Is there trouble with your gauges? Is the speedometer intermittent? Bad instrument cluster is very common, but donor vehicle replacement For cluster from same year should be a pinch- me tab- in.

Parts & Controls: Everything from the steering wheel to the centre console and stereo headunit to the electric window switches all removed just as it should be for you to get that non working item back up and running.

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

When it comes to sourcing automotive parts, JMW Recycled Auto Parts is your go-to provider in Perth.With 15 plus years under our belt at WA Autoparts – located right here in the heart of Western Australia – it’s not just about loving cars, we love the fact that we are committed to providing your used car with a second chance. We think that even if a car meets an unexpected end on the road, its story doesn’t have to. Which is why we have built our business around being your premier second hand car parts buyer, seller and wrecker of an treasure trove of pre-loved car parts for all types of vehicles.

Today, let us present to you our newest member a 2008 Grey Honda CR-V. This trustworthy S.U.V. has seen better times, however. Was it a sudden downpour that caused the slip? Or was there an unforeseen meeting in the teeming streets of Perth? Regardless, this CR-V has simply gotten to the point where a full repair is no longer in its best interest.

But here at WA Auto Parts, we don’t see a write-off, instead we see an abundance of valuable salvage. We are looking at perfectly fine parts that could give a second life to another Honda CR-V, or even another make and model altogether. This 2008 grey lady — a common sight on Australian roads — still has plenty to give.

Not Just Scrap: What Is There Lost Value In

This, after all, isn’t just about scrapping a vehicle; it is about evaluating each piece of the car carefully and making sure anything still in good working order gets another chance to live. This 2008 Honda CR-V, a third-generation model that’s earned acclaim for reliability and practicality, was actually decently maintained up until its recent catastrophe. We’re still doing a thorough look over this thing, but what we’ve found so far is that many of its parts are in fantastic shape and the only thing missing are some wheels to get it back on the road.

Powering the car is a strong 2.4L K24Z1 i-VTEC petrol engine under the bonnet. These are durable engines that run well and we’ll be going through its condition with a fine tooth comb. Or maybe your own CR-V from around the same era is getting long in the tooth, and a second hand engine with fewer miles on it could be just what you need to keep motoring. We’re also looking at the 5-speed auto, another expensive part that could well keep someone on the road for longer than they may have expected when compared to purchasing as a brand new unit.

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

Unravelling the Onion: What Secrets Does it Hold?

Although showing scars from its last ordeal (we think there might have been some damage to the nose), the exterior actually yields quite a few parts that can be used. The doors, say for the rear passenger side especially, seem to be in really good condition. If your CR-V has been dented or damaged, a new found one of these could be the easy and inexpensive answer. The tailgate, glass and wiper motor included, is another salvageable part. Face it, accidents occur and a damaged tailgate is no good!

And although the front bumper is what absorbed most of the damage, it still could be just what someone else needs to straighten up their car. We’ll also be looking closely at the condition of headlights and taillights. Safety is paramount when it comes to substituting broken lighting equipment and nothing compares to a genuine OEM part for this 2008 model. Plus, for those who like a dash of added usefulness, the roof racks or rails could still be in prime working order when you embark on your next outdoor excursion.

Inside it, despite the evidence of its last journey (which Basal and Cameron washed down with some aluminium screenwash) is a trove of interior bits. The seats, whether the durable cloth or a more premium leather (available on higher trims), might make for a great upgrade or swap for beat-up upholstery in another CR-V. The dashboard assembly, instrument cluster and centre console are all things we’ll be scrutinising closely. A bad instrument cluster can be a real headaches, and an OEM replacement can help you avoid the high dealer price.

And who can forget about the little things? The steering wheel (we’ll be sure to check its airbag availability very carefully), glove box, or even the interior door panels could be just the piece that someone’s looking to finish their repair or restoration. And who knows, the original floor mats might even be clean enough to spiff up another vehicle’s interior!

Honda CRV 2008 Grey Wrecking

From Wheels to Wires, No Part Is Too Small

We’re going to do a deep dive into the mechanical and drivetrain bits too. Aside from the engine and transmission, even the alternator, starter motor and air conditioning compressor could still have plenty of life in them. A working aircon system is essential in the heat of Perth! The radiator and cooling fans are also important for you motor to not overheat –those will need an inspection, too.

The condition of the power steering rack and pump, driveshafts, axles and in some cases sections of the exhaust will also be scrutinised. Depending on what happened, those parts can often be perfectly fine.

And don’t forget the wheels and suspension! This 2008 CR-V probably comes rocking a set of alloy wheels (we’ll call the size and condition when evaluated), which might make a nice upgrade or posisble spare for someone. We will also inspect the tyres and jot down the brand, size and rough tread depth. A single good tyre can even be a life-saver if you are in trouble on the road. The struts, arms, hubs and bearings on the suspension will all be checked for damage.

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

In automobiledom, some models are just transportation, while others grow to be part of the family. They’re a loyal friend for the daily commuter, the weekend Bunnings run and the long-haul holiday journey down to Margaret River. In the state of Western Australia, that vehicle is the Subaru Outback and in particular, the third generation (BP series) version. It’s a real automotive Swiss Army knife, and for the past 15+ years working at WA Auto Parts we have come to greatly admire its well thought-out design principles and long-lasting workhorse performance.

As a top-tier used auto parts buyer and wrecker in Perth, we encounter vehicles from all the major manufacturers—from Japan to Europe to Australia. But there’s just something special about receiving a car with as devoted a cult following as this Outback when it rolls into our yard.

So today we present you with an opportunity to take a look at our newest member: 2009 Subaru Outback Premium in Satin White Pearl. As a complete car, its life is over, but it has a ways to go. It’s a tale of preservation, of mindfully collecting the best bits to ensure dozens of other cherished Subarus remain on the turnpike roads of Perth where they belong.

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

The Review & The Elephant in the Room

This 2009 Outback arrived not with the hushed burble of its signature boxer engine. The car was towed in, a non-runner with a tale that accompanied many Subaru enthusiasts – suspected engine fault. To the uninitiated, this may appear to be a dead end. It’s just the first chapter to our skilled technicians.

The first walk-around is very thorough. It’s not just damage that we are looking for; it is potential. This Satin White Pearl paint, despite being a good 15 years old, remained lustrous. The passenger side panels were straight, the rear bumper and tailgate were dent and damage free – and all four factory alloy wheels looked to be in good condition.

From here we went on to the Subaru specific stuff. The frameless windws on all four doors, which was a characteristic of this generation, glided down. We pressed the colossal factory sunroof into service, and it reared up and slid back without so much as a hiccup. Inside, the cabin was something of a time capsule. The black leather interior was a rare and pristine addition, with the MOMO wheel showing only light wear, and the optional 6-stack CD player decking popped to life with ease.

And now we have to talk about the elephant in the room: THE MOTOR! This era of Subi’s 2.5L EJ25 boxer engine is a workhorse but does have one well-documented weakness with the head gaskets. This seemed to be the issue in our diagnostics. Most wrecker’s would simply classify the engine as scrap, however we are not like most wreckers at WA Auto Parts.

Every part of it is important to us. We would never offer this engine as a running ‘drop-in’ unit, but just imagine the haul of spares for an adventurous DIY man or professional workshop. The engine block itself is good, the heads are good reconditioning candidates, and all those ancillaries—the alternator; the power steering pump; the A/C compressor; the ignition coils; the sensors—were tested workign items ready to solve some other Subaru owner’s woe. That level of transparency is our business model; we don’t think it’s fair to hide what you’re getting in your food.

Subaru outback 2009 White Wrecking

Picking the Best Parts – The Premium Option

Once that inspection was finished, we went about meticulously taking apart our Premium model and preserving the best bits.

The Interior Upgrade Package: One of the first things we did was gut out all of the interior. To the owner of a run-of-the mill Outback or Liberty wagon, this vehicle is everything you expect or want in an aspirational luxury model. We salvaged:

The Full Leather Seats: Heated fronts and neat rear bench, all carefully dismantled out and wrapped up.

The MOMO Steering Wheel: A real, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio and cruise controls, is noticeably nicer to hold.

The Premium Audio & Climate System: I have tested the 6-stacker head unit and dual-zone automatic climate control unit then removed it, ready for a plug-and-play in to your appropriate model.

The Sunroof Assembly: This is a big time win. We pulled out the whole sunroof cassette — the glass, the motor and tracks as well as the headliner. It’s a tricky but coveted role.

Symmetry AWD Gold: Engine may have been a bit fragile, but the rest of the drive train was rock solid. After the knock, the 4-speed Sportshift auto gearbox was unobtrusive and responsive. We drained its fluid and found it to be clean, free of pollutants—a good sign. The gearbox, as well as the tailshaft, driveshafts and aforementioned hand grenade-strong rear diff were all carefully extracted. These are Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system essentials, and if you ever need to maintain one of these components, it’d be essential to have a source for tested reliable parts in order keep these cars safe and capable on the road.

The Body, Glass and Wheels: The straight un-damaged panels from the passenger side and rear were carefully unbolted. The rear hatch, including its wiper and spoiler, was removed. Frameless doorglass was not available and we removed the heavy glasses and checked for scratches before putting in inventory. Lastly, the factory 17-inch alloy wheels did come off and cleaned up nicely to be swapped in for a trashed set on a later or older model.

The Selling Point: A Savvy Pick as a Modern Classic

Who would buy a used part for a car over 15 years old? For a modern classic owner, it’s the best choice you can make.

Firstly, there’s the cost. A replacement from a dealer, if it’s even available, can be sky-high. From us, you can buy a quality, proven OEM part for a fraction of that. Secondly, it’s about authenticity. You won’t have to compromise on the fit and function of genuine Subaru parts is you opt for a regular old auto supply store, after-market part.

Last, it’s the most sustainable choice. Every bit that we are able to recover is a part that does not have to be manufactured, and saves an absurd amount of energy and raw material. When you select recycled parts, you are doing your part to help the environment with less waste and keeping our planet clean.

This 2009 Outback Is A Catalog Of Opportunities

This one car has now produced a vast amount of high-quality juicy automobile parts. Here is only some of what we have now in stock on our shelves:

Ford Ranger 2016 White Wrecking

Ford Ranger 2016 White Wrecking

Here in WA some cars are more than a car to get around. They’re instruments of work, business partners and admission passes to adventure. They are part of the landscape, caked in Pilbara red dust, or working through the tight laneways on a Perth work site. The Ford Ranger sits squarely at the top of that list. It’s the undisputed king of new-school ute, a machine designed for hard yakka and weekend getaways.

But what of the workhorse that can no longer run the race? And for more than a decade, WA Auto Parts has been finding out. We believe even when a vehicle has been taken off the road one of its most valuable parts can go on to have a second life. Being a Perth-based quality supplier of used and second-hand auto parts, we are just extraordinary because when other see a wreck we may see the potential and value.

Today we’re cracking the back on how that process works. Come on out to the yard and as you can see we are very excited to welcome our most recent arrival – a 2016 Ford Ranger PX MkII. This isn’t an obituary for a written-off ute; it’s the birth story of hundreds of low-price, high-quality parts that will keep other Rangers on the road for years to come. Welcome to the guaranteed lowest prices in town on a phenomenal range of goods.

The Assessment: Not Just a “Wreck”

So, this Cool White Dual Cab Ranger didn’t drive to the stand on its own. Courtesy of [Mod Edit by Cal] Scroll Parentsmodel 12 It was a statutory write-off to us due to being the innocent victim of a rollover. To the layperson, the buckled roof and pillars spoke a terminal tale. But for us, this is where the happy-hour treasure hunt starts.

Our lead tech, Dave grabbed his clipboard and started his systematic walk-around. A vital first step of a job learned from years of taking everything apart, from Japanese Kei cars to American muscle. It is automotive autopsy — a process of deciding what can be saved and given new purpose.

“The roof’s a goner, obviously,” he said, and began taking notes. “But look lower down.” He passed his hand along the driver’s side doors. “Straight as a die. No impact here. Glass is good, mirror’s intact.”

He continued his circuit. The front end? Untouched. The potent 3.2L turbo diesel engine reclined beneath ‘em as if they were a passing thunderstorm. The rear tub has a few scratches in the liner — evidence of an honest working life — but the tailgate was straight (its handle did its job) and there was even a reversing camera, still perfectly positioned. The inside of the messino was in great shape, sheltered from the worst of it.

This initial assessment is everything. Provides us with the ability to look past the damage, and form an excellent perspective on remaining life of the car. This Ranger wasn’t just a hulk; it was also a hoard of real Ford parts, and our mission was to strip them with the respect and diligence they had earned.

The Drivetrain: Harvesting the Heart

As a Ranger owner, the beast of your vehicle is the revered 3.2L P5AT 5-cylinder turbo diesel engine. That is after all why so many people buy these utes—its low-down torque, its reliability, and its towing muscle. Getting a healthy one is our primary goal.

Before any spanner turns the engine bay it’s where the work really starts. We connected our state-of-the-art diagnotic reader to the OBD-II port, looking for DTCs stored in your engine’s ECU. The report was clean — an excellent sign.

Next, the crucial test. We drained the fluids, hooked up a tiny gas reservoir and turned the key. The big 3.2L lit up at the first turn of the key with that classic 5-Cylinder burble. We fired it up, brought it to temperature and Chapter II Listen2 close listeneing for any egregious sounds of discontent, watching the tail pipe for smoke and a steady idle. It performed flawlessly. With only a tad more than 112,000 km on the clock, this engine was barely broken-in.

The automatic 6-speed transmission was tested with the same severity. We tried everything, Drive, Reverse, Sport mode—and every shift made was smooth and for a purpose. We also inspected the 4×4 system and shifted the transfer case into 4-High and 4-Low to ensure it worked just as well.

We gave the go-ahead only when all of these tests were cleared. We then have to remove the wiring harnesses, fluid lines and mounts with our mechanical team. The rest of the engine, gearbox and transfer case was hoisted out cleanly. This turn key, tested and warranted drivetrain is now just waiting to be a solution for that person looking at either a catastrophic engine failure or the high cost of rebuilding their transmission saving them thousands of dollars.

Beyond the Engine: Saving the Good Bits

Now that our mechanical heart is out of it harm’s way, we focused on the rest of the car. An udern ute is a maze of wires, toughened panels and luxury interiors, and we’ll harvest them all.

The Tub, Tailgate, and Exterior Panels: The ute tub is one of the most frequently dented structures on a Perth worksite. A new one from the dealer can make your eyes water. This Ranger threw up a straight, well body complete with factory plastic liner and tie-down points. The tailgate, which they removed and will pop into the works just fine. The four sequences of doors were unbarred, all intact. You can buy them in complete form (glass, regulators and speakers) or bare shells should you wish to retain your own window gear.

The Tech and Interior Comforts: Today’s work ute is a rolling office. This particular Ranger was an XLT, and it featured the desirable SYNC 2 multimedia setup. The 8-inch touchscreen, which served as the command hub for navigation, audio and phone calls was tested and removed with its modules. This is a very popular upgrade for owners of lower spec models with the standard radio.

  • The interior itself was immaculate. We salvaged:
  • A full complement of seating: Clean, supportive and rip-free.
  • The steering wheel: All of the cruise control and audio buttons work.
  • Whole dash assembly and Centre Console: A large number of items from air vents, switches through to console bin and lid etc.

They are ideal parts for updating a tired interior that has had a few too many dusty boots and spilled coffees in it.

Wheels, Suspension and Brakes: Original full set of Ford XLT alloy wheels were replaced. They had the usual scrapes, but they were straight and sitting on respectable all-terrain tyres. And even the suspension in its standard form (front struts and rear leaf springs) was fabulous for any owner wanting to put his hacked-up ute back to stock condition.

The Outcome: From One Ute Came a Thousand Solutions

The process is now complete. The stripped-out carcass of the white Ranger, which has had all its value removed from it, will be depolluted by our responsible end-of-life disposal partners ready to be recycled. But its legacy is now lining our shelves, archived and available.

From one written-off car come hundreds of unique solutions. The engine in question is going to revitalize another Ranger. The straight door will repair a crash victim’s ute. The SYNC 2 screen will add some modern tech to the older model. It’s precisely why we run WA Auto Parts. It is the most sustainable, cost-effective and smart way to keep Western Australia moving.

We are wreckers of all makes and models, with plenty of parts available for your car, whether it’s an older car or a new one at our yard. This Ford Ranger is a beautiful example of the we treat and prepare each of our vehicles.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

Every car has a story. It’s scrawled in the scuffs on the door sill, the barely visible coffee ring on the centre console and the steadily growing numbers on that thing called an odometer. For some cars, that story comes to an abrupt end. A lousy bounce, a mechanical breakdown, an unlucky crash. We think differently though, the end of one story is just the start of many new ones at WA Auto Parts. And it’s a reputation we’ve been established on for over 15 years here in Perth.

Today, we walk you around and show you how one such car got from concept to reality: this bright Signal Red 2012 Kia Rio that recently came rolling into our facility. This is not a tragedy, but a transformation: of a “wreck” into an asset for drivers all over Western Australia.

Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker in Perth. We’re not just a store; we are auto recyclers. We find potential in every vehicle from around the world including Japanese, European, Australian and Korean cars. From cars, 4WD’s and Ute’s to commercial vans, we aim to rejuvenate great components. This little red Kia Rio is an example of how the process works. So crack the kettle on (not that we care, it’s too late now), and let’s get muddy.

The Arrival and Initial Assessment

Upon its arrival at our Maddington auto recycling yard, it was obvious to us all that the no longer a whole car. And it’d been hit in the front end pretty good. The hood was bent like a piece of paper, the radiator support crushed in and the driver’s side headlight destroyed. To the uninitiated, it appeared a write off ready for the crusher.

For our expert staff, however, this is when the hard part starts. This is a treasure hunt.

Dave, our lead technician (who may have taken more cars apart than most people have owned) was going to first evaluate the situation. This is a painstakingly, almost forensically, detailed process. He marched its outer boundaries, his eyes passing over each panel, each piece of trim, every sliver of glass.

“We lose the front, there’s no doubt,” he said, holding a clipboard. “But look here.” He indicated the passenger side. “The door is straight. No dings. The a mirror assembly is flawless, signal and all. The rear passenger door? Same story. Which is welcome news for the Rio owner who’s been sideswiped in a car park.”

He moved to the rear. The tailgate was clean, the spoiler shiny and the back glass in one piece. The tail lights were clean, and the rear bumper really only had minor scuffing that would no doubt polish out. The odometer showed just over 145,000 kilometers — certainly low by the car’s age. This told us that the parts of the universe that weren’t part of the crash probably had plenty more life to live.

This initial walk-around is critical. We can establish an initial parts list and make some sense of what the car is capable of. It’s the difference between viewing a wreck and seeing a dozen future repairs for other Kia owners all at penneys on the dollar as to what new parts cost.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

The Teardown: Part 1 – Saving the Inside

At last! Upon completion of the evaluation, the laborious task begins. “Interior is always our starting point. It’s the most vulnerable part of the car, and maintaining its condition is essential.

The cabin of this Rio was a shocking good condition. Both the front and rear seats were rip free and had no major stains. They would look almost new with a professional clean. Our crew unscrewed them with care, surrounded them in protective plastic and stacked them to add to inventory. A mint set like this is treasure for anyone not wanting a run down interior.

Then the dashboard and centre console. This is intricate work. You can’t just pull and rip. Each screw, each hidden clip, every wiring harness requires precise unplugging. You want to take the entire assembly off without anything chipping or breaking. We salvaged:

  • The HU: Random factory CD player/radio; works fine. Great for someone who had an original unit that went bad.
  • The Steering Wheel: The airbag was in tact (an important safety check), and the steering wheel audio controls worked fine also.
  • The Gauges: Everything is fully functional, clear and present and ready to be dropped in.
  • Centre Console, Door Cards and Trim: Each panel was removed, thoroughly cleaned and examined. Even window switches and gear knobs are retained, because we have learned from experience these are the very parts that break to irritate car owners every day.

By the end of Stage 1, the car’s interior was reduced to a bare metal shell yet our shelves were stacked with quality, cost-effective cabin parts that are set to breathe life into another Kia Rio.

The Teardown Part 2 – Panels, Lights and Glass

With the fragile inside out of risk, we go along to the outside. And here is where the juxtaposition of the worn and unworn geographies gets even more stark.

The unsmashed doors on the passenger-side were meticulously taken out, including all their innards—regulators for windows and speakers and locking actuators. We test everything individually before we can put our stamp on it. The electric side mirror was also pulled off, the motor checked and its case polished.

The tailgate was next. Uninstallation of a modern tailgate is a two-man operation. It’s heavy, and it includes a lot of wire for the rear wiper and brake light, as well as to power the licence plate lights. We removed all that stuff carefully and then unbolted the hinges. This one assembly yields a dozen possible parts to keep as spares.

Finally, the lighting. The rear tail light assemblies were flawless—no cracks, no moisture. They were unbolted, their bulbs examined and the units are cleaned and offered for sale. These are hot items as a little tap between the eyes of the rear bumper can so often be anywhere from hundreds to over a thousand dollars for new parts and labour. Providing a tested recycled, OEM part at discount prices is the WA Auto Parts way!

The Teardown: Part 3 - Heart of the Machine

Once there, you are at the last and most technical part. The front-end impact totaled the radiator and A/C condenser. But the engine and transmission, pushed well to the rear of the initial site of impact, were a good sign.

Our mechanics ran a few tests. We inspected the engine oil for metal shavings and transmission fluid for discoloration or burning. Everything looked clean. The powerplant, a dependable 1.4L petrol engine (G4FA) was considered to be salvable either as whole implementation, or valuable parts thereof.

The engine and transmission were methodically unhooked from the driveshafts, exhausts and wiring loom and the whole lot lifted out of the engine bay in one assembly. Once in the stand we could cull those forever-necessary ”bolt-ons”:

  • Alternator
  • Starter Motor
  • A/C Compressor
  • Ignition Coils
  • Throttle Body

The 4-speed automatic transmission was pulled apart and checked; unsurprisingly, it was perfect. For somebody that’s faced with an expensive transmission rebuild, a fail-safe (low kilometer) used unit like this can save them thousands.

The alloys (standard 15″ factory) were pryed off as well. They had a little bit of curb rash, as in all likelyhood there would be, but we’re straight and true. Clean them up and they’re a great upgrade for someone with steelies.

Kia Rio 2012 Red Wrecking

The Result: Multiple Solutions, All Out of One Car

The red Kia RIO’s journey is over. What was a single vehicle going down is now hundreds of solutions. The empty shell is to be properly depolluted and sent for metal recycling – ensuring that nothing goes to waste.

But its best parts live on. The straight passenger door will mend another family’s car. a new looking taillight will allow someone to pass their roadworthy inspection. Here’s the reliable alternator that will get a commuter back on the road.

This is the awesome power of automotive recycling. It’s good for the environment, it’s sustainable, and it delivers amazing value to our customers. It’s all about the win-win-win and it’s at the heart of everything we do here at WA Auto Parts.

A Narrative of a Faithful Friend.

This Corolla, a 2011 Conquest 5-door hatchback, has led quite the life on Perth’s roads.

It is a great example of a car that has been well-used and also well-cared for.

Toyota corolla 2011 Grey Wrecking

“Vehicle as a whole reached end of its service life in a side-impact collision with the driver’s side. The car’s insurer canceled the insurance and labeled it a statutory write-off after sustaining enough damage to signal its end, but it’s an ideal case scenario for a recycling outfit. The front and all its components, including the mythic engine are untouched together with the car’s rear and passenger side. What this also means when it comes to the S system is that there’s a gigantic stockpile of mint-condition, undamaged parts.

Here’s a peek at the part of this great donor vehicle:

This 1.8L 4-cylinder chugger is the reason we all know someone who’s Corolla has gone over 300,000km, or 400k or 500k even. It’s a masterpiece of simple, no-nonsense engineering, equipped with a timing chain (rather than the more expensive replacement belt) and evolved over 5 decades.

Here at WA Auto Parts we know that it is not always the case and good isn’t just because it’s a Toyota. We prove it. This engine has been pretested by our professional mechanics. It fired right up, idled smoothly and cleanly revved throughout the range without any smoke or leaks or hesitation. It still runs today the same as it did when it first left the factory.

Bringing Back the Look: Panes, Lights and Exterior Trim

A little fender bingle should not be a sentence to a life of driving around in an eyesore; nor should it cost you the earth at a body shop. Based on the damage that was done to this particular Corolla, we have an enormous selection of flawless, factory-painted panels.

Front End: The bonnet, front bumper and front left guard are done.

RH (Passenger Side): Front and rear Passenger side, Rust free doors with glass and internals.

Rear End: The tailgate/hatch and rear bumper are equally clean and a simple fix for that little bump in the rear.

Lights and Mirrors: The head lights are crystal clear and bright, not dull or yellowed. One of the tail lights is not cracked and the passengers mirror works. Proceeding our with cosmetic repairs and you are a very happy owner if you can find them in this much loved ‘Graphite Grey’ colour code.

Clean & Tidy Cabin: Interior Parts

The interior of the Corolla is engineered for one purpose: to endure. This Conquest has thick comfortable seating and quality plastics that cope exceptionally well with the WA sun.

Seats: The complete set of front and rear seats are clean, rip free and ready to be installed.

Volkswagen polo 2011 Red Wrecking

There’s something magical about a good European hatchback. It’s a mix of smart design, robust build quality and a driving experience that feels like it’s on another level. And here in Australia, one small car that has also long followed this way of thinking is the Volkswagen Polo. It is the car that shows small doesn’t have to mean basic. It’s for the driver who, in their daily commute, wants some Teutonic engineering, sharp handling and some class.

At WA Auto Parts we share your passion for quality engineering. Horley Motor Spares has been Western Australia’s Premier Supplier of Quality Used Motors and Parts for 15 years Our customers rely on us to have access to the best used auto parts on the market, which is why that is what we provide. Although we offer Japanese, American, Australian and Korean cars all under one roof – there is a soft spot in our hearts for European vehicles. We know what makes them roll, what problems they share and – most importantly – the treasure that is embedded in their systems.

This time around never seen before arrival will make the eyes of every VW aficionado across W.A turn: bright and beautiful “Flash Red” 2011 Volkswagen Polo 6R that is.

Tales of the City: Say hello to our 2011 Polo Donor

This isn’t some no-name car sitting on a hoist — it’s a car that has had a life. Performance This 2011, 5-door Polo 77TSI Comfortline was a nifty little city whip. Just picture it zipping through the traffic in Perth, being more maneuverable for parking, and a safe solid cocoon for its owner. With a snappy turbocharged engine and rapid-shifting DSG gearbox, it was the epitome of modern small car technology.

Volkswagen polo 2011 Red Wrecking

The time as a complete car came to an end after a common and famously pricey problem struck – the DSG mechatronics. The bill to fix it was too high for the prior owner. It’s a golden chance for the wider Perth VW community. Since the rest of the car to its good powertrain, solid body panels and impeccable interior are all so well preserved, it’d be a shame to just throw them in the crusher when other polite Polos could put them to use.

Here are the donor vehicle’s vital statistics:

  • Make: Volkswagen
  • Model: Polo Comfortline
  • Year: 2011
  • Series: 6R
  • Body Style: 5-Door Hatchback
  • Colour: Flash Red
  • Engine: $1.2L TSI Engine (Turbocharged Stratified Injection)
  • Transmission: 7-Speed DSG Automatic
  • Odometer: 145,000 km

Any question you have, our team of in-house experts is more than happy to answer! Feel free to contact us direct on (08) 9358 1392 for your parts requirements.

The Crux of the Matter: 1.2L TSI Motor

Volkswagen made an innovation in small cars with the TSI engines. This 1.2L Turbo is a small engine producing big important effective punches above its weight and on minimal sips of fuel, it’s power play with an echo. 145,000 well-serviced kilometers and this engine is in rude health.

Our full service at WA Auto Parts is more than just an oil check. We warmed the engine, ran it up, and listened for anything out of kilter. It ran whisper-quiet and smooth. Next, we plugged our VAG-compliant diagnostic equipment into the car to download any stored or historical fault codes from the Engine Control Unit (ECU), but it was showing a clean bill of health.

Available Engine Parts:

Polo New $1.2L TSI Engine Assembly: A tested ready-to-install engine, ideal for a Polo with significant engine damage. This is German engineering that you can rely on, at a fraction of the cost to buy new motor.

Turbocharger: The turbo is what makes the TSI engine perform the way it does. This turbo is in great condition with no oil supply issues or shaft play.

Engine Ancillaries: A complete range of original high quality Volkswagen spares including the alternator, starter motor, A/C compressor, ignition coils and high-pressure fuel pump. Opting for a pre-owned OEM part rather than a low-quality aftermarket substitute might offer increased longevity and the correct fit.

Details about the DSG Gearbox

The DSG 7-Speed gearbox is a work of art, it delivers slick shifts with mind blowing efficiency. They are complicated, however, and the mechatronics unit is a common trouble spot. As with this vehicle this is the problem, so we are passing it on to you.

DSG Mechanical Components: When the mechatronics unit and all of its electronics fail, you are left with a mechanical gearbox that is still in perfect working order. These parts are a must for any workshop, or folks looking to do a bit of DSG surgery themselves.

Gear Shifter Mechanism: The entire shifter, a notorious source of interior wear, functions without issue.

If you need help with DSG parts, call our expert team on (08) 9358 1392. We know these systems inside and out, and can get you exactly what you need.

There’s a special culture for Subaru owners. In the friendly “Subie wave” on the road, in the mutual love for that rumble you can only get from a Boxer engine and in the confidence of Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive riding shotgun. These are not mere cars; for many people, they are trusted companions for daily lives and weekend adventures.

It was 30-odd years old, but still going strong with 162,000 km under its belt — driving those streets of Perth with efficiency and class.

Subaru Impreza 2009 White Wrecking

Well, it looks like a run-in with a car would do the trick as this one received heavy rear damage and was declared an economical write off. Although the car is a total loss, there is so much good that has come from it. The front and mid-sections of the car were untouched with plenty of good quality, genuine parts available.

Here’s a rundown of the donor vehicle:

The Heartbeat: The $EJ20$ Boxer Engine and its Internals

A Boxer for Every Model The legendary Subaru lineup offers multiple BOXER engines to choose from. This Impreza is equipped with the bullet proof $EJ20$ 2.0 litre naturally aspirated motor. We put this engine on the dyno and ran it pretty hard before we ever turned a bolt.

This is what’s available:

32) Complete motor $EJ20$: This is a great way to fix your bug Eye when it has vented the engine, the motor had only 162000km on it. It’s a turn-key, time proven and thoroughly tested package that is an easily install-able direct bolt in for your car.

Evolution of Fun: Symmetrical AWD and Transmission

Subaru’s longitudinal, boxer engine and Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system are its signature traits. It has awesome grip and handles well, whether you’re negotiating a wet roundabout in town or exploring a lumpen-gravel road down the South of Cumbria. This car’s drivetrain was all there, and worked great in our shop testing.

4-Speed Automatic Transmission transmission shifted smoothly through the gears without any slips/jolts, and was sure going into drive or reverse. It is an ideal replacement for the old or broken gearbox.

Differentials: These are must-have on any AWD vehicle. Both are in great shape with no leaks or noise and will bring the balance to your brat back to life.

Driveshafts and Axles: We do have a complete set of axles and driveshafts, we have gone through them to make sure they are straight as well as the CV’s being in great shape.

Uncluttered Panels and a Spotless Face

Car bodywork:Finding straight, clean and colour-matched panels is one of the hardest tasks in restoring cars. This white Example makes a perfect chance to put new panels on your own car for a way more reasonable price than painting the panels in!

Front End: Bonnet / both front guards /front bumper are like new only a few ever so minor blemishes as you’d expect from 37 year old paint.

Doors: All 4 doors are clean and damage-free. These are available as entire units (complete with glass, regulators and internal man-trims) or as a bare shell.

Lighting and Glass: The Headlights are pristine, a massive cosmetic and safety improvement over the faded yellow lights found on most older cars. The mirrors and all side glass are perfect as well.

Get In, Step Inside: A Tidy Interior

The condition of the interior on this RX is indicative to it’s maintenance. It’s clean, it’s complete and is a wealth of parts for refreshing a tired or damaged cabin.

Seats: Full set of factory cloth seats are in excellent condition with bolster support still firm and no rips or tears. They provide a major upgrade in comfort and aesthetics over the worn out stock base model seats.

Dash and Console: The dash is not cracked like many of these old girls get with the WA sun. We have the entire assembly, glovebox and centre console.

Steering Wheel and Controls: The steering wheel is in perfect shape including the airbag. The basics – the windows switches, indicator and wiper stalks have been tested and are in working order.

Stereo Head Unit: The factory CD player and radio head unit still functions perfectly, which means replacing a misbehaving stereo is a simple plug-and-play operation.
