Doubleview car owners who have a car they no longer want can sell it to WA Auto Parts, a licensed Perth wrecker which pays cash for cars, tows them away for free and recycles what it can't reuse. Drivers needing a part can also purchase used parts from the same yard. Either process can be started with a quick call to (08) 9358 1392.

This page is a practical guide for both sides. The first half is to help sellers understand what a wrecker is looking for and how a pickup works. The second half helps buyers choose the right used part and get it fitted hassle-free.

A Seller's Guide for Doubleview Car Owners

Selling your car to a wrecker is a different process than selling a car to a private buyer. A private buyer wants a car to drive . A wrecker wants the car for its parts and materials . And that’s why a wrecker will happily take a car that nobody else wants. 

What Affects a Car's Cash Value

WA Auto Parts looks at several factors when it prepares a quote. The table below explains how each one shapes the offer.

Factor	Why it matters
Make and model	Popular models have parts that many drivers need.
Age	Newer vehicles often carry parts with more remaining life.
Condition	Undamaged panels, lights and interiors add resale value.
Engine and gearbox	A working engine or gearbox can lift the offer.
Completeness	Missing parts reduce what the team can recover and sell.

Owners get the most accurate quote when they describe the car honestly, including any faults, damage or missing parts.

Preparing the Car for Collection

Some prep makes for a smooth pickup day. Owners should take along their proof of ownership and current photo ID, and clear out the glovebox, boot, door pockets and areas under the seats. It's also a good idea to remove toll tags and any garage remotes.

What Happens On Pickup Day?

The tow truck comes at the scheduled time and the team goes over the paperwork with the vehicle. When all is ready, the crew loads the car and pays the owner. The owner then updates the registration with the WA Department of Transport and cancels the insurance .

A Buyer's Guide to Used Car Parts

If you’re a Doubleview driver that keeps an older car on the road, used parts can save real money. Each part comes from a donor car, so it’s the original manufacturer’s design, not some aftermarket knock-off.

Parts to Purchase Used

There are some parts that make especially good sense to buy second-hand:

• Doors and body panels. A second hand door or bonnet in the right colour can save on both the part and the paint job.
• Lights and mirrors. Headlights, tail lights and side mirrors can easily crack in minor bumps and used replacements are typically cheaper than new.
• Wheels, Rims. A damaged rim can be replaced by a single matching rim instead of buying a whole new set.
• Engines and transmission. For older cars, a used engine or gearbox can be cheaper than a rebuild.
• Internal parts. Seats, dash panels and heater controls are often in good shape, so a used one can look and function like the original. 

Ordering Without Visiting the Yard

Doubleview is on the other side of the metro area from Welshpool, so a lot of buyers prefer to order remotely. They can check stock from the comfort of their own home via the online Parts Search tool and Parts Enquiry form. The team double-checks the details and then sends the part anywhere in Western Australia.

Buyers speed up the search if they have the vehicle's make, model, year, VIN and engine info. Even better is a picture of the old or part number. 

Fitting Options

Customers can fit the part themselves, take it to their own mechanic or book the WA Auto Parts team to fit it onsite at the Welshpool yard. The onsite option is ideal for drivers who want to purchase a part and have it installed in one visit. 

What Happens to a Car After It Leaves Doubleview

Where their old car goes is a question many owners ask. Each vehicle arriving at WA Auto Parts follows a defined path to reuse.

• Evaluation. The team checks the car at the yard in Welshpool to see what parts still have life in them.
• Decommissioning. Technicians remove the parts that can be reused and place them into stock.
• Fluid and battery management. The team handles oils, coolants, fuel and batteries with care to protect soil or waterways.
• Recycle. The rest of the shell and scrap metal are recycled, not thrown out in landfills.
• Reuse. The salvaged parts are rehomed to other cars, often enabling another driver to avoid a costly repair.

This cycle transforms one unwanted car into a source of cheap parts and recycled material. For a Doubleview owner it means the old car still does some good after it leaves the driveway. 

Serving Doubleview and Perth's North-West Suburbs

Doubleview is a residential suburb within the City of Stirling, postcode 6018, located some 11 km north-west of the Perth CBD. It is located between Scarborough to the west and Innaloo to the east, with busy Scarborough Beach Road running through it.

The suburb takes its name from the two views it offers: of the Indian Ocean to the west and the Darling Range to the east. The name was coined by developers Dudley and Dwyer in 1926 and homes were subsequently built in the northern section for returning soldiers after the Second World War by the state government. Today, most housing is still in the form of detached family homes.

Doubleview and surrounding suburbs such as Scarborough, Innaloo, Woodlands, Karrinyup, Gwelup and Osborne Park are all served by WA Auto Parts for all car repairs and repairs. Owners can call to confirm their street’s pickup and schedule a time that’s convenient for them.
