Situations Where a Dianella Car Wrecker Can Help

Every car owner has to decide what happens next at some point. These are some of the more common situations WA Auto Parts can help with.

Repair bill exceeds the value of the car

A quote from a mechanic for a new gearbox or engine can be more than what an old car is worth. Instead of throwing money at it, the owner can sell it to a wrecker and put the cash towards something more reliable.

The car has been parked for months.

Unused cars suffer from flat batteries, perished tyres and seized parts. What starts as a free car gradually becomes a driveway ornament. Tow away for free makes it easy for the owner to get it running first.

Insurer Declares Total Loss

After an accident, hailstorm or flood, an insurer may deem a car uneconomical to repair. WA Auto Parts will buy written-off and accident-damaged vehicles provided the seller can prove ownership.

One Part Has Failed On A Car Otherwise Fine

Sometimes the car is worth keeping and only needs one part. Like a mirror, tail light, alternator or radiator. Get it back on the road for less than buying new with a used part from the yard.

How Selling a Car to WA Auto Parts Works

What to Prepare Before Pickup
