At WA Auto Parts, we believe every car has a soul. It’s more than just a machine; it’s a vessel for memories. It’s the chariot for the daily school run, the partner in long-haul road trips across the vast landscapes of Western Australia, and the silent witness to countless conversations and singalongs. When a vehicle’s journey on the road comes to an end, it doesn’t mean its story is over. Here in our Perth yard, it’s where a new chapter begins. This is the story of a 2013 Grey Mazda 6, and how its legacy is set to continue in cars all across WA.
Welcome to WA Auto Parts, your leading used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker in Perth, Western Australia.

We specialize in a vast range of parts for Japanese, European, Australian, Korean, and American cars, trucks, SUVs, 4WDs, vans, wagons, and dual cabs.
The arrival of this 2013 Mazda 6 is a perfect example of what we do. To the untrained eye, it might look like its best days are behind it. But with our 15 years of experience, we see a treasure trove of high-quality, genuine components waiting to serve a new purpose. It’s a process we approach with respect and precision—a careful dismantling that honours the engineering of the vehicle and unlocks incredible value for our customers.
Let’s take a walk through our yard and explore the potential that lies within this modern classic.
The Heart of the Matter: Engine and Drivetrain Components
The 2013 Mazda 6 was lauded for its SKYACTIV technology, which delivered an impressive blend of performance and fuel efficiency. The engine and transmission are the very heart and soul of this driving experience. Before a single bolt is turned, our technicians assess the complete drivetrain. Was the engine running smoothly upon arrival? Does the transmission engage without hesitation? We perform these initial checks to understand the health of these core components.
For a Mazda 6 owner facing the daunting prospect of a major engine repair, finding a reliable, low-kilometre used engine from our yard can be a game-changer. It represents a saving of thousands of dollars compared to a brand-new crate engine, without compromising on OEM quality. We meticulously inspect the engine block for any signs of damage, check the compression, and ensure all ancillary parts—the alternator, starter motor, air conditioning compressor, and power steering pump—are in perfect working order.
The same meticulous care is applied to the transmission. Whether it’s an automatic or manual gearbox, our team examines it for smooth operation and fluid condition. This 2013 model offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a complete, tested drivetrain package ready to be transplanted, giving another Mazda 6 a new lease on life. It’s the ultimate form of recycling, powered by expertise. If you’ve been told you need a new gearbox, call WA Auto Parts on (08) 9358 1392 first. The solution might be right here, waiting for you.
Preserving the Form: Panels, Doors, and Exterior Fittings
A minor bingle in a car park or an unfortunate encounter with a rogue shopping trolley can leave ugly scars on your car’s bodywork. Sourcing and painting a brand-new panel is not only expensive but can also lead to frustratingly mismatched paint. This is where a donor vehicle like our grey Mazda 6 becomes invaluable.
The beauty of using genuine used panels is the guarantee of a perfect fit. Aftermarket panels can often require modification, leading to increased labour costs and an imperfect finish. With an OEM door, guard, bonnet, or boot lid from this vehicle, you are getting a part that was designed and manufactured by Mazda, for a Mazda. Our team carefully removes each panel, paying close attention to preserving the paint and structural integrity. We inspect for hidden rust, dents, and deep scratches, ensuring we only catalogue parts that meet our high standards.
The lights are another critical component. Modern headlight assemblies can be incredibly complex and costly, often incorporating advanced projector or LED technology. A stone chip or minor collision can crack a lens, leading to an expensive replacement. Our 2013 Mazda 6 offers its headlights, taillights, and fog lights, all checked for clarity, functionality, and secure mounting points. The same goes for the side mirrors, complete with their integrated indicators and electronic adjustment motors. It’s a simple, cost-effective way to restore your car’s appearance and safety.
The Inner Sanctum: Interior Comfort and Technology
You spend most of your time inside your car, and its interior condition directly impacts your driving pleasure. A torn seat, a cracked dashboard, or a faulty switch can be a constant source of annoyance. The interior of this 2013 Mazda 6 is a goldmine for anyone looking to refresh their own vehicle.
From the driver and passenger seats to the rear bench, we assess the upholstery for wear, tear, and stains. If the seats are in good condition, they offer a fantastic upgrade or replacement. The dashboard and centre console components are carefully extracted. We pay special attention to the infotainment system—the radio, CD player, and display screen—and the instrument cluster, ensuring all gauges and warning lights are functional.
It’s the small things that often make the biggest difference. A broken window switch, a worn gear knob, or a cracked piece of interior trim can be sourced from this vehicle. Even the steering wheel, complete with its airbag and audio controls (always handle and install airbags with professional care), could be the perfect part to make your car feel new again. At WA Auto Parts, we understand that it’s this attention to detail that sets us apart. We don’t just sell big parts; we provide complete solutions.
Foundation of a Great Ride: Wheels, Suspension, and Brakes
The 2013 Mazda 6 is known for its responsive and engaging handling, a quality that relies entirely on the condition of its suspension and wheels. A pothole can easily damage a stylish alloy wheel, and replacing a single one from the manufacturer can be prohibitively expensive. This vehicle provides a set of genuine 17-inch or 19-inch alloy wheels (depending on the trim level), offering a perfect match for a damaged wheel or a full set for an upgrade.
Beneath the car, our team carefully dismantles the suspension system. We inspect the struts, shock absorbers, control arms, and sway bars for leaks, bends, or worn bushings. These are high-quality OEM parts that were engineered to provide the specific ride and handling characteristics of the Mazda 6. For a workshop or a DIY enthusiast, sourcing these components from us is a smart way to restore a vehicle’s performance without resorting to cheaper, lower-quality aftermarket parts.
The braking system is, of course, a critical safety component. We inspect the brake calipers, rotors, and hubs, ensuring they are within manufacturer tolerances and in safe, usable condition. Opting for a quality used caliper from WA Auto Parts can save you hundreds of dollars and give you the peace of mind that comes with using a genuine part.
