A Local Wrecker for East Cannington Drivers, Just Next Door in Welshpool

East Cannington and Welshpool are both within the City of Canning. Our yard is a short trip – not a cross-town drive for most local drivers. This makes it easy to grab a part or bring your car in for fitting.

WA Auto Parts is a salvage yard that buys, sells and wrecks vehicles for used auto parts. We stock parts for Japanese, European, Australian, Korean and American vehicles including cars, trucks, SUVs, 4WDs, vans, wagons and dual cabs. We also buy and sell parts for sedans, utes and motorbikes.

We are a licensed motor vehicle dealer (Dealer License No. MD26589). The yard is open Monday to Friday 7:30 am - 4:30 pm and Saturday 7:30 am - 2:00 pm. To learn more about the business, please read our About Us page. 

How the Welshpool Yard Fits Into an East Cannington Repair

The stock at any wrecker changes week to week as vehicles come in and parts sell, so a quick phone call is the best first step. What do you drive? What do you need? We'll verify part availability before you make the trip. Once it is confirmed, take it away from the yard or get fitted there. 

Car Wrecking and Used Car Parts Services Available to East Cannington

Used Car Parts and Spares

A good used part can keep an older car running without paying new-part prices, particularly when the car's value no longer justifies a dealership bill. The parts we commonly sell include:

• Engines, radiators, fans and fuel tanks
• AC compressors, condensers, hoses and heater/AC controls
• Bumpers, front panels, boot lids and doors
• Headlights, tail lights and side mirrors
• Seats, seat belts, carpets and dash assemblies
• Airbags, fuse boxes, ignition switches and batteries
• Wheels, tyres and wiper arms

Check availability with Parts Search or view current listings in our online shop. A lot of our parts are genuine manufacturer parts as they come from vehicles we’ve wrecked. Our guide to the benefits of buying used car parts from auto wreckers explains where used parts make sense and where new might be the better call. 

Car Wrecking for All Makes and Models

WA Auto Parts crushes all makes and models – from your everyday hatchbacks and family SUVs to utes, vans and 4WDs. We purchase unwanted, damaged and end-of-life vehicles to provide a steady supply of parts for other drivers.

If you drive one of the common brands on Perth roads, check out our pages for Toyota wreckers, Mazda wreckers, Holden wreckers and 4x4 and 4WD wreckers. Other brands can be found on our brands page. 

Vehicle Dismantling and Responsible Recycling

Every car that comes into the yard is examined before it is cut up. The team notes the make, model, year and condition, then determines what parts are worth salvaging.

Then the depollution. Fluids such as engine oil, coolant, fuel and brake fluid are drained, batteries and air-conditioning refrigerant are removed and handled separately. Usable parts are then removed, identified and checked before being stocked up. The rest of the shell is recycled, steel and other materials are put to re-use rather than landfill.

See What Happens to Your Car at a Wrecker for the whole process. 

Unwanted Car Removal from East Cannington

Have an old car sitting in the driveway not running, flunked a repair quote or just not worth keeping? WA Auto Parts buy unwanted cars and organise removal from all suburbs of Perth. We accept all cars regardless of make, model or condition, old, damaged and non-running cars.

Any offer is subject to the vehicle itself: make, model, year, condition and the demand for its parts. That’s why we don’t offer a fixed price. Phone (08) 9358 1392 with your car details and where it’s parked and the team will walk you through the quote, the collection and how payment works. 

Professional Parts Fitting at the Yard

Need the part but don’t have the tools, time or space to fit it in? We have a parts fitting service at the Welshpool yard where our mechanics can fit the used part you have bought. Mention it when you call and the team can explain what’s involved for your car. 

How to Enquire About the Right Used Part for Your Vehicle

Most wrong-part purchases happen before anyone picks up a spanner. A few minutes gathering your vehicle details helps us match the right part first time.

Details to Have Ready Before You Call or Submit an Enquiry

• Make, model and year: include the series or variant if you know it.
• Build date: printed on the compliance or build plate.
• VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): shown on your registration papers and the build plate.
• Engine and transmission codes: usually stamped on the engine block or listed on the build plate.
• Transmission and drivetrain: automatic or manual, 2WD or 4WD.
• OEM part number: if it's visible on the old part, include the full number and any suffix.
• A photo: handy when the part is hard to describe.

You can send these details through our Parts Enquiry form, which lets you upload a picture and select your transmission and drivetrain. You can also read them out over the phone.

Why Compatibility Checks Matter

Parts used in two apparently identical cars may be different. For example, a Toyota RAV4 air conditioning compressor will not fit a Nissan X-Trail. Even within a single model, a facelift or mid-year update can alter headlight plugs, bumper mounts or sensor connectors. Check with an auto electrician first as ECUs and other electronic modules may need to be coded before they will work in another car.

And there’s a practical reason to look carefully. Our Refunds and Returns Policy does not cover refunds or replacements for incorrect orders or purchases made in error. For a complete checklist, see our guide on how to check a used car part before buying. 

Getting Help from WA Auto Parts: Step by Step

1. Contact Us. Call (08) 9358 1392 or make a parts enquiry. To remove the car, please provide us with vehicle information, vehicle condition and location.
2. We check availability and stock. The team ensures that the part is available and compatible with your vehicle. “Ask it how it is and what car it was taken from.
3. Confirm price and conditions. Make sure you’re happy with the price, read the returns policy and keep your receipt.
4. Collect, post or fit. Arrange to collect it from the Welshpool yard and either ask if it can be posted to you or book it in to be fitted.
5. Prepare for pickup for car removal. Once you have agreed a quote and time of collection, ensure you have your photo ID and proof of ownership to hand. 

Practical Tips for East Cannington Vehicle Owners

Before You Sell or Scrap a Car

A little preparation makes selling a car to any wrecker smoother:

• Have your ID and proof of ownership available. If you’re a bona fide wrecker, you’ve got to know that the car is yours.

• Pay off any finance first. If you are unsure if any money is owed on the car, a search of the Personal Property Securities Register will tell you.

• Call the Department of Transportation. Once the car is gone, check the WA Department of Transport web site to see how to record the disposal and what to do with the registration and plates.

• Empty out the car. Remove any toll tags, garage remotes and dash cams that are in the glovebox, boot, centre console and under the seats.

• Keep your insurance until its paid. Don't cancel your policy until the car is off your property.

If you want to ask these questions to any wrecker before you hand over the keys, check out our guide to finding reliable and trustworthy car wreckers in Perth. 

Repair, Replace or Wreck?

If your car is otherwise sound, a used part can be the most sensible way to keep it going, especially for older vehicles where new parts are expensive or unavailable. But when the repair bill gets close to the value of the car it may be cheaper to scrap it than repair it.

For safety critical items like airbags and brake components, speak to a licensed mechanic before purchasing used, and consider if new is the better option. Looking for the cheapest place to buy spare car parts in Perth? Our article compares wreckers, parts stores, dealerships and online sellers.
