Hello and welcome to the WA Auto Parts blog! In Perth, Western Australia, we are the best place to buy, sell, and junk used car parts. We see cars from all makes, models, and years here at our yard. It’s our job to find the value in cars that have reached the end of their road life.
But every now and then, a car comes in that really gets our team excited. It’s not a rare supercar or a classic car, but something even better for our customers: a late-model, popular car in great shape for parts.
This week, that car is a beautiful 2016 Holden Cruze in Phantom Black.
As WA Auto Parts, the best wreckers for used car parts and spares, we know that a 2016 model is a great candidate for being taken apart. Why? There are a lot of these cars on the road in Perth right now. A lot of them are just out of warranty, and their owners are looking for cheap ways to keep them running well.
For one owner, a small accident can turn into a lot of money for another. We were able to save a lot of brand-new, genuine Holden parts from this Cruze, and they are now ready to give your Cruze a new lease on life.
You should read this before you even think about paying full price for a new part at a dealership. Let’s look at the amazing deals that are waiting for you at our Perth wrecking yard.
Why This 2016 Holden Cruze Is So Important
Holden really hit the mark with the JH Series II Cruze. It looked good, had a lot of technology (hello, MyLink!), and was fun to drive in a modern way. They are dependable, quick, and comfortable to drive every day.
But life happens. A small accident, hitting a parking bollard, or an electrical problem can cause an insurance company to call a car a “statutory write-off.” This is where we come in as a professional wrecker like WA Auto Parts. We don’t crush things; instead, we recycle them carefully and in a way that lasts.
This black 2016 model came with damage to the back end. This is great news for you because it means that the engine bay, the high-value front panels, and the whole interior of the car are all in perfect shape.
These aren’t parts from a car that’s been around for 20 years and is falling apart. Our expert team has checked and tested these modern parts with low mileage.
Details about the “Donor” Car
Here are the important numbers for the car we are currently taking apart to help you find the right parts:
- Brand: Holden
- Type: Cruze (JH Series II)
- Year: 2016
- Color: Phantom Black (real factory paint)
- Type of Body: Sedan
- 1.6L 4-Cylinder Turbo Engine

The Wrecking “Hot List”: Categories of Parts That Are Available
This is the most important part. The professional dismantling process has already started, and the phones are already ringing. Here is a full list of the high-demand parts that we now have in stock.
1. The Powerplant: 1.6L Turbo Engine and Other Parts
This engine isn’t the usual 1.8L. This is the 1.6L Turbo, which is more powerful and more desirable. This is the answer if your Cruze is slow, smoking, or has a transmission slip.
Complete 1.6L Turbo Engine: An engine assembly with low kilometers, tested for compression, and fully inspected. This is the best heart for a full swap, which will save you thousands of dollars on a risky rebuild.
Turbocharger: The turbo is what makes this engine work well. We checked ours for shaft play, and it works perfectly.
6-speed automatic transmission: a part that often breaks on newer cars. This low-KM unit has been drained, checked, and is a reliable replacement that shifts smoothly.
We have the real starter motor, alternator, AC compressor, radiator, and fan assembly for your engine. Don’t take a chance on a cheap aftermarket part that will break in six months; get the OEM original.
2. The technology and comfort: a full interior and the MyLink system
This is probably the most sought-after part of a modern Holden. Has your MyLink touch screen stopped working? Is your Bluetooth not working?
Holden We have the full, tested MyLink head unit and touch screen for the MyLink infotainment system. This is a simple fix that a dealer would charge thousands of dollars for. Get your music, navigation, and phone connection back all at once.
Full Interior Seat Set: Are your seats ripped, stained, or has the driver’s seat fallen apart? The front and back seats of this car are all clean and new, so it will feel like new again.
Instrument Cluster: Are the gauges not working? Pixels that are burned out? We have the real, low-KM instrument cluster all set up.
Steering Wheel and Airbags: Our steering wheel has audio and cruise controls, among other things. We also have a full set of real airbags (for the steering wheel, the dashboard, and the sides) that are not deployed, so you can get a safe, professional collision repair.
3. The Perfect Match: “Phantom Black” Outside Panels
Getting a panel beater to perfectly match a modern metallic or pearl paint is the most annoying and expensive thing you can do. The answer? A real panel that was painted at the factory.
Doors: All four of our doors are in great shape. Not a single dent or big scratch. They come with everything you need, like glass, window regulators, and switches.
Bonnet: In perfect shape. A simple bolt-on replacement for your bonnet that has been damaged by hail or dents.
Guards and fenders: You can get perfect Phantom Black guards for both the left and right front.
Front Bumper Assembly: Our full front bumper comes with the grille, fog lights, and all of the internal supports.
No cracks, fading, or water leaks in the headlights or taillights. A set of clear, bright headlights will change the way your car looks and, more importantly, how well you can see at night.
We have black electric side mirrors that match, and they come with indicator lights.
4. The Foundation: Wheels, Tires, and Suspension
Do not drive on wheels that are scuffed, broken, or bent.
Four Alloy Wheels: We have the whole set of factory 17-inch alloy wheels from this 2016 model. They are in great shape and would be a great upgrade from steel wheels or a good replacement for your broken ones.
Tyres: The wheels come with a good set of roadworthy tyres with lots of tread, which saves you even more money.
We have the whole front and rear suspension struts, brake calipers, rotors, and the ABS module. These low-KM parts are the best way to fix your Cruze if it makes a “clunking” noise over bumps or the ride feels loose.
Why should you trust WA Auto Parts with your used Holden parts?
We know you have options for parts in Perth, but WA Auto Parts is more than just a junkyard. We are a professional auto parts supplier that puts the needs of our customers first.
Genuine OEM Fit: When you buy a used part from us, you’re getting the same part that Holden made, designed, and built for your car. It will always fit perfectly. No more fighting with cheap, weak aftermarket parts that don’t fit.
The best part is that it saves a lot of money. You can get a real, high-quality part for 50%, 60%, or even 70% less than what a dealership would charge for a new one. That’s real money that you can keep.
We test and inspect the quality of our products. Trust is what our reputation is based on. Our repairmen don’t just smash parts off with a hammer. We take apart, look at, and test each major part very carefully. We check for hidden damage on the panels, power up the electronics, and test the engines for compression.
Being a car wrecker is one of the best ways to recycle in the world. When you choose a used part, you’re keeping a perfectly good one out of the trash and cutting down on the energy and raw materials needed to make a new one.
