Looking for Car Wreckers in Cottesloe?

Cottesloe is famous for its beach, its sunsets and its laid-back lifestyle. It is not known for being spacious. There are lots of homes on small blocks and lots of people living in units with small car parks. In such a setting an unwanted car soon becomes a problem.

Private sales are not instantaneous. You have to write an ad, take pictures, answer messages, deal with no-shows and haggle with buyers trying to get a bargain. And if your car doesn't run, failed inspection, or was in an accident, most private buyers won't even look at it.

And that’s where a professional wrecker makes life easy. At WA Auto Parts we specialise in used car parts, spares, cash for cars and car removals throughout Perth. We find value in cars other buyers ignore, as we recycle and resell their parts. That means we can make you a fair offer on just about any vehicle.

How Much Do Car Wreckers Pay in Cottesloe?

This is the first question everyone asks, and rightly so. The truth is, every car is different and we price each vehicle individually. A late model SUV with a good engine and good panels will have more value than a small scrap car with no working parts.

What is the price of your car made up of: 

Factor	How It Affects Your Offer
Make and model	Popular models such as Toyota, Holden, Ford, Mazda, Hyundai, and Nissan often have strong demand for parts.
Year	Newer vehicles usually carry more valuable, reusable parts.
Condition	A running car with a sound engine and gearbox earns more than a non-runner.
Vehicle type and weight	Heavier vehicles like utes, 4WDs and vans contain more recyclable metal.
Parts demand	If buyers want parts from your model, we can offer you more.
Scrap metal prices	Metal prices move with the market and affect the value of scrap cars.

Call us with your car's details for the most accurate figure. We give you a firm quote over the phone, and we honour it as long as the car matches up with what we were told.

Quick Tip: Tell us what still works. A good battery, new tyres, a working air conditioner or undamaged panels can all raise your offer. 

Why Cottesloe Locals Choose WA Auto Parts

Many companies call themselves car wreckers. Here is what makes us different.

We know cars inside-out. Demolition is our core business, not a side line. Every day, our team dismantles, appraises and recycles vehicles, so we know precisely what your car is worth.

We wreck all makes and models. Japanese, Korean, Australian, European or American, we've got them all. We don’t refuse cars due to age, brand or condition.

We are legal in WA. Western Australian law requires second-hand dealers to record the identity of all sellers. We follow these rules for every purchase, and it keeps you protected, and keeps the sale above board.

We quote you honest prices. Our price is explained. We tell you if your car is a value add. If something brings the value down we tell you that too.

It's free for you. Free quotes available. Towing is free. We don’t subtract surprise fees at pickup.

We service the entire Perth metro area. We already have a good coverage of trucks running through the western suburbs regularly, which helps us get to Cottesloe quickly.” 

Car Removal Across Cottesloe and Nearby Suburbs

We pick up vehicles from everywhere in Cottesloe, from the streets near Cottesloe Beach and Marine Parade to homes along Curtin Avenue and Stirling Highway. We also tow from apartment complexes and underground parking lots where space is limited and access is difficult. These jobs are routine for our drivers every week. 

We regularly service these nearby western suburbs too:

• Mosman Park
• Peppermint Grove
• Claremont
• Swanbourne
• North Fremantle
• Nedlands
• City Beach

If your suburb isn't on this list, call us anyway. We buy cars across Perth and Western Australia.

What Paperwork Do I Need to Sell My Car in WA?

A lot of people are scared of all the paperwork but it’s as easy as can be. This is what you need.

Ownership proof. Your registration papers or some other document that shows the car is yours. If you’ve lost them, call us and we’ll talk about your options.”

Photo identification. Bring your driver’s licence or another photo ID. We are required to record the seller’s details per WA law so we are unable to complete the purchase without it.

No rego? Sure. We purchase cars without registration. But you still have to show that you own the vehicle

No keys? Good. We have the tools to move cars without the key. Just tell us when you call.

Still owes finance? Let us know up front. We need to sort out any interest the finance company may have in the car before we can buy it.

File your notice of disposal. After you have sold the car you must advise the WA Department of Transport that you no longer own the car. The Department imposes a deadline on this (currently 14 days), so get on with it. You can lodge it online via DoTDirect at transport.wa.gov.au. This step is important. It prevents you from being charged with fines or tolls associated with the car once it’s out of your hands.

Before pickup: If you need to take out your number plates, do so. Cancel your insurance and check the glovebox, boot and under the seats for your personal items. People leave sunglasses, garage remotes and paperwork behind more often than you would think. 

Eco-Friendly Car Recycling in Cottesloe

“We care about our coastline, just like Cottesloe people do.” Selling your car to WA Auto Parts means it won’t be dumped or left to leak oil into the ground.

Here’s what we do with each vehicle:

• We safely drain the fluids. The first to go are engine oil, coolant, brake fluid and fuel, which are disposed of or recycled properly.
• We keep the good parts. Engines, Gearboxes, Alternators, Doors, Lights and more are cleaned and tested and sold as quality used parts.
• We use the metal again. After taking out the usable items, we send the body shell to be recycled for metal.
• We responsibly handle batteries and tyres. "We ensure these items receive the special treatment they require.

For each used part we sell, one less new part is manufactured. That’s good for your wallet and good for the environment.
