Why WA Auto Parts is the Best Place to Get Commodore Parts in Perth
We at WA Auto Parts think that being a wrecker is about more than just taking cars apart; it’s about being an important part of the car’s life cycle. We focus on giving people in Perth a cheap alternative to expensive dealership parts. We also offer a “Cash for Cars” service that is the best in the business.
A Professional Way to Recycle Cars
When you hear the word “wrecker,” you might think of junkyards that are not very organized. We are here to change that way of thinking. Our facility is a modern recycling center where each vehicle is handled with care. When this blue 2012 SV6 came in, our team had to follow a strict set of rules:
Testing systematically: We test the main parts (engine, transmission, electronics) before turning any bolts.
Careful Dismantling: Professionals use special tools to take parts off without breaking them.
Managing our inventory: We clean, check, and log every part so we can tell you exactly what’s in stock when you call.
Helping the people of Perth
We are not a national chain with no face. We are locals who help other locals. We know what WA drivers need, whether you are a DIYer working on your car in your garage in Canning Vale or a professional mechanic in Welshpool. The harsh sun in Perth and the salty air on the coast can be hard on cars. That’s why we only sell very durable parts.
The Spotlight: Destroying the 2012 Holden SV6 (VE Series II)
Some people say that the 2012 VE Series II was the best VE model ever. Holden had fixed the “teething problems” with the older 2006–2009 models by this year. The SV6 was the “Goldilocks” of the range. It had the aggressive sports styling of the SS but the more fuel-efficient SIDI V6 engine.
1. The 3.6L SIDI LFX Engine and Transmission
The LFX 3.6-litre Spark Ignition Direct Injection (SIDI) V6 is the most important part of our 2012 blue SV6.
Performance and reliability: This engine was a big step up from the old Alloytec. It weighs less, has more power (about 210kW), and is surprisingly efficient. If your engine has broken down because of a timing chain failure or overheating, our tested used unit is a “plug-and-play” fix that will save you thousands compared to rebuilding.
We have the matching 6L50 six-speed automatic transmission for the 6-speed automatic gearbox. People like to replace high-mileage vehicles with these units because they shift smoothly.
2. “Perfect Blue” Body Panels
The color is very important to a lot of Commodore owners. The blue on the 2012 SV6, which is often called “Perfect Blue” or “Chlorophyll,” is bright and well-known.
Save on Painting: If you’ve ever been to a panel beater, you know that it can cost $500 to $1,000 just to paint one door or hood. You can easily bolt on a color-matched panel from us and be on your way.
What is for sale? The SV6 front bumper with fog light surrounds, the vented SV6 guards, the boot lid with the factory spoiler, and all four doors are in great shape right now.
3. The Holden IQ Entertainment System
The Holden IQ system was one of the best things about the Series II. This touch-screen unit changed the inside of the Commodore forever.
We have the head unit, the faceplate, and the internal modules for tech upgrades. We have the real replacement ready for you if your screen has gone black or your Bluetooth has stopped pairing.
Interior Trim: We also have the SV6-specific sports seats (with extra padding for better support), the leather-wrapped steering wheel, and the center console plastics, which are often scratched or broken in older cars.
4. Wheels and the FE2 Suspension
The SV6 wouldn’t be an SV6 if it didn’t have its stance.
18-Inch Alloys: We have a complete set of real 18-inch twin-spoke alloy wheels. If you own an Omega or Berlina and want to make your car look more sporty, these are a great upgrade.
FE2 Suspension: You can get the struts, springs, and sway bars from this car if you want to bring back that “firm-but-fair” Holden handling.
How Cash For Cars and Free Removals Work
Maybe you’re not looking for parts; maybe you’re the one with a broken Commodore taking up space in your driveway. We at WA Auto Parts are here to help. We will pay you top dollar for your unwanted car and will even wreck it for free.
We buy all kinds of cars and trucks.
We love our Holdens, but that’s not all we do. We buy Toyotas, Fords, Mazdas, Nissans, and European brands because we are a top wrecker.
- Damaged in an accident: Is the cost of repairs more than the car is worth?
- Mechanical Failure: Did the head gasket blow or the transmission break?
- Not wanted or old? Just want the space back in your yard?
The Three-Step Process
Call us at (08) 9358 1392 and tell us about your car.
- Get a Quote: We will give you a cash offer right away, with no strings attached, based on the current market rates for scrap and parts.
- Free Towing: If you agree, we will send a tow truck to your location in Perth. We take care of the paperwork, pick up the car, and pay you right away. That’s all there is to it!
The Environmental Benefit of Picking a Wrecker
Buying used parts or selling your car to a wrecker like WA Auto Parts is good for the environment. Making cars uses a lot of resources, making it one of the most resource-intensive industries in the world.
Cutting Down on Carbon Footprint
When you buy a used alternator or door from us, you stop the need for a new one to be made, packaged, and sent all over the world. This saves a lot of raw materials and energy.
Properly Getting Rid of Fluids
When we “wreck” a car, we don’t just throw away the parts that are left over. We are dedicated to keeping Western Australia’s beautiful environment safe.
We drain and store all of our fluids in special containers so that they can be sent to a professional recycling facility.
Metal Recycling: After all the useful parts have been taken off, the steel and aluminum that are left are crushed and recycled to make new things.
Commodore Owners: Expert Tips for Keeping Your Car in Good Shape
We know exactly what goes wrong with Commodores because we see hundreds of them come through our yard. Keep these tips in mind if you want to keep your SV6 from going to the junkyard for as long as possible:
Keep an eye on the timing chain. You have to change the oil on the 3.6L engines regularly. Using good synthetic oil and changing it every 7,500 to 10,000 kilometers can stop the timing chain from stretching, which is a problem that many VEs have.
The plastic radiator tanks on the VE series can get weak over time, which can affect the cooling system. Look for tiny cracks or white “crusty” spots around the edges. If you see a leak, call us at (08) 9358 1392 to get a new radiator before your engine gets too hot.
Suspension Bushings: The VE is a big car, and its front suspension bushings take a lot of abuse. If you hear a “clunk” when you go over speed bumps, it’s probably time to get a new one.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Do you give a warranty on your parts?
A: Yes! We stand behind our stock because we are a trusted wrecker. To give you peace of mind, most of our used parts come with a standard warranty that lasts 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on the part.
Q: Can you send parts to WA?
A: Yes, of course. We are based in Perth, but we often ship parts to Mandurah, Bunbury, Geraldton, and even farther away. Please call us for a shipping quote.
Q: I have a Commodore in a different color. Will the parts still fit?
A: Yes. Most parts for the 2006–2013 VE Commodore can be used with either Series I or Series II. The fit will be perfect if you don’t mind a blue door on a white car (or if you plan to paint it).
Q: How much money can I get for my car?
A: It depends on the make, model, age, and condition. But we are proud to say that we have the best “Cash for Cars” rates in Perth. We always try to beat any written quote.
