This is the WA Auto Parts blog. In Perth, Western Australia, we are the best place to buy and sell used auto parts and get expert help with wrecking. We love giving old cars a new lease on life and giving you, our valued customer, high-quality, genuine parts that save you money and keep your car on the road.
We specialize in used car parts and spares for all makes and models. We’re excited to announce that a 2009 Grey Holden Barina (TK Series) has just arrived at our yard and is ready to be taken apart.
The Holden Barina is a real Australian icon. For a lot of people, it was their first car, a reliable way to get to and from college, or the perfect little car to zip around Perth’s city streets. They are cheap to run, reliable, and don’t cost much to buy. That is, until something breaks. If you have a 2009 Barina, you can’t afford to pay $1000 for a new part from a dealer. It can be stressful, and it’s often the only thing that makes a great car go to the junkyard.
That’s where we come in.
WA Auto Parts isn’t just a junkyard; we’re a problem solver. We don’t see this grey Barina as the end; we see it as a new beginning. It’s a chance for many other Barina owners to get the exact part they need for a lot less money.
This is the post you’ve been waiting for if your Barina has a small problem, a broken part, or a panel that could use some work. Let’s take a full tour of what this car has to offer before you call us at (08) 9358 1392.
Meet the Donor Car’s Vehicle Specs
We learn about a car when we buy it. Every little thing matters because it helps you find the right car for you.
- Model: Barina by Holden
- Series: TK
- Year: 2009
- Color: Grey (A color that is sleek and popular. If you have a grey Barina, you’re in luck because you can swap panels without having to paint them!
- Type of Body: 5-Door Hatchback (The smart choice, since it has five doors!)
- Engine: 1.6L 4-Cylinder Petrol (the F16D3 engine is fast and cheap)
Four-speed automatic transmission
Odometer: 130,000 KMs (This is a low number of KMs for its age, which means the mechanical parts have a lot of life left)
Condition: This car was hit from behind. This is often the best case for parts because the whole front end, engine bay, and interior are in great shape and have been well taken care of.
Your Barina’s Second Chance: High-Demand Parts Now Available
As a Perth wrecker, we know exactly what parts owners need for a TK Barina. Let’s look at the parts that are most likely to break and see what this car has to offer.
Parts for the engine and mechanics
The 1.6L engine is strong, but the parts that hold it up are what have been on the road for more than ten years.
Complete 1.6L Engine: Is your Barina’s engine tired, smoking, or making that awful knocking sound? This full 130,000km engine has been tested, runs well, and is ready for a full “heart transplant.” It’s a cheap way to give your car a whole new lease on life.
4-speed automatic transmission: This is a big deal. An automatic gearbox that slips, jerks, or “thuds” is a nightmare. It can cost more to rebuild than the car is worth. Our transmission has been tested, shifts smoothly, and is the smart, cheap way to get you back on the road.
Are your headlights getting dimmer at night? Does the battery light on your dashboard keep flashing? Or even worse, does your car keep dying even though you put in a new battery? Your alternator is broken. Don’t get stuck. This real Holden alternator has been tested and is holding a perfect charge.
Starter Motor: You’re late for work, so you turn the key, and all you hear is a single, heartbreaking “click… click.” That’s the motor that starts your car. Every morning, this real replacement will give you that confident vroom.
Radiator and Fan Assembly: The plastic end tanks on radiators are known to crack after 10 to 15 years, which can cause coolant to leak and the engine to overheat. Don’t take the chance of cooking your engine in the summer in Perth. This radiator has been tested for leaks and is ready to be installed.
Suspension Parts: Is your Barina acting more like a “boaty barge” than a “zippy runabout”? Do you hear clunks and rattles when you go over speed bumps? We have all the parts you need to fix the steering so that it feels tight and responsive again, just like it did when it was new.
Exterior and Body Panels (The Perfect Grey Match!)
Since this car was hit from behind, all of the most important panels on the front are in great shape. A small accident for someone else can be a big win for you!
Bonnet: This gray bonnet is clean and straight. This is an easy fix if your bonnet is faded or has hail damage. Just take it off and put it back on.
Front Bumper: The front bumper is in great shape and has grilles. This is your chance to fix years of stone chips, parking lot scratches, and faded plastic right away.
Do your headlights look yellow, foggy, or cloudy? It not only makes your car look old, but it’s also a major safety risk and could cause it to fail a roadworthy test. These headlights are very clear and bright, and they will make your car look five years younger.
Front Guards (Left and Right): Did you get a little scrape or ding on your shopping cart? The easiest repair you’ll ever do is to get a grey guard that matches the color of your car.
We have all four doors, front and back! We sell them all together, with the glass, the window regulator (the motor), and the side mirror. Is your window stuck? If you want to fix your door, don’t bother with a cheap aftermarket motor. Just buy this real Holden part.
Side mirrors: They are often the first thing to break when a cyclist or a narrow garage door hits them. We have both mirrors on the left and right sides ready to go.
Parts inside
Don’t put up with a worn-out, broken interior. This is your chance to clean up your cabin and fix all the little problems.
Front Seats: The bolster on the driver’s seat is almost always worn out from getting in and out. The fabric on these seats is clean and in good shape, and they are firm and supportive. A great upgrade.
Instrument Cluster: Are your gauges acting up? Is the fuel gauge lying? This cluster works perfectly and is ready to be dropped in.
Radio/CD Player Head Unit: Are the buttons on your old stereo broken? Do you have a broken CD player that you can’t fix? This clean, working head unit will bring back that factory-fresh look.
Climate Control Unit: All of the buttons and dials are in good shape and work well.
Glove Box: The latch on the glove box is another part that is well-known for being weak. This one is fine and works perfectly. The little things are what make a car feel new again.
Why buy used parts from WA Auto Parts?
There are a lot of cheap, fake parts for sale online, but we stand by the quality, dependability, and value of real used OEM parts.
Big Savings: This is the most obvious one. Why spend $400 on a new headlight when you can get a real, clear, used one from us for a lot less? It lets you keep your cheap car cheap.
“OEM” stands for “Original Equipment Manufacturer,” which means that the quality is real. Holden made this part just for your Holden. It will fit just right. The holes for the bolts will line up. The electrical connectors will fit together. No guessing is needed. An aftermarket part that is cheap might fit “close enough,” but it will never be as good or last as long as the real thing.
The Human Touch: When you call (08) 9358 1392, you’re not talking to a chatbot or an anonymous seller on the internet. You’re talking to a car expert who lives and works in Perth. We can help you find the right part and give you honest, useful advice.
Choosing a used auto part is the best way to recycle. It’s the ultimate green solution. Every part we save from this Barina means one less part needs to be made from new materials, which saves a lot of water and energy, and one less part is rusting away in a landfill. We are proud to be a key part of WA’s circular economy as a professional auto wrecker.
We guarantee quality: we’re not your average wrecker.
When you hear the word “wrecker,” you might think of a field full of junk that is muddy and messy. That’s not WA Auto Parts. We are a team of professionals who know what they’re doing.
When this Barina came in in 2009, our skilled technicians didn’t just “wreck” it. They started to take things apart very carefully. The engine and transmission, which are important mechanical parts, are tested and run. The window motors and alternator are two electrical parts that are checked. Before anything goes on our shelves, we check it, clean it, and tag it.
We believe in what we sell. That’s why we give you a warranty on our parts, so you can be sure they will work. You’re not just getting a part; you’re getting a promise.
