Hello and welcome to the WA Auto Parts blog! We are the best place in Perth, Western Australia to buy, sell, and wreck used car parts. Every day, our team sees all kinds of cars and trucks come through our gates. But every so often, a car comes in that we know is special. It’s a car that gives our customers a great chance.
This week, the car is a clean, crisp white 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid.
We are Perth’s top wreckers, and we specialize in used car parts and spares. We know that a car that has reached the end of its life isn’t just trash. There are a lot of real, high-quality parts in it that can be used to fix up another car. The 2010 Camry Hybrid is a great example of this. It’s a well-known model for being reliable and efficient, and now you can get the best parts for it right from the source.
We destroy all kinds of cars, but it’s always exciting when a popular hybrid like this one comes out. Let’s talk about why this car is so important and what parts you can get for it.
The 2010 Toyota Camry Hybrid’s Lasting Impact
Let’s talk about why this car is important before we get to the parts list. In 2010, hybrid technology was really starting to take off. The Toyota Camry Hybrid was not just a car for environmentalists; it was a popular family sedan that showed you could have comfort, space, and power without spending a lot on gas.
A lot of people bought these cars, and for a good reason. In a word, they are dependable. These cars are based on Toyota’s famous reputation for quality and can go hundreds of thousands of kilometers with just basic maintenance.
So, why are we breaking one?
Things happen in life. An insurance company may not want to fix a car if it has been in an accident, has a fender bender, or has a major part fail (like a collision). But for a professional wrecker like WA Auto Parts, this “write-off” is a chance. The car might be damaged in one place, but it’s usually fine in other places.
This is where you, the smart owner, mechanic, or collision repair expert, come out on top. Why spend thousands on a brand-new part from a dealership when you can get an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part from us for a lot less?
Meet Our Newest Arrival: Details About the Vehicle
Here are the important details about the “donor car” that is now at our Perth wrecking yard:

- Date: 2010
- Color: White Pearl
- 2AZ-FXE 2.4L 4-Cylinder Hybrid Engine
Condition: The front end of this car has been damaged, but many of the most valuable and sought-after parts are still in great shape. The inside is clean, and the side and back panels are straight.
A Wrecker’s Goldmine: Categories of Parts That Are Available
This is the most fun part. We have started taking this car apart, and our technicians are carefully checking, testing, and listing each part. Here’s a closer look at what’s out there.
1. The Parts That Make Up the Hybrid System
This is the most important one. It can be very expensive to fix a hybrid system at a dealership. We now have all the parts we need, and they have been tested.
The “big ticket” item is the hybrid battery pack. A real, tested used battery pack can save you thousands of dollars and improve your Camry’s fuel economy and performance if its battery is getting old.
Inverter/Converter: This is the hybrid system’s brain. It controls the flow of electricity between the battery, engine, and motors. We have tested and are ready to use this complicated and expensive part.
Hybrid Transaxle: This isn’t just a gearbox; it also has the electric motors inside. Our unit is in great shape, which is great for a car that had a problem with its transmission.
2. The Proven Powerplant: 2.4L Engine and Parts
People like the 2AZ-FXE engine in this Camry because it works well. The “hybrid” part gets a lot of attention, but the petrol engine is what makes the car run. We can sell you the whole engine or just the parts you need.
2.4L Engine (2AZ-FXE): Great for a full engine swap.
Alternators, starter motors, AC compressors, and power steering pumps are all engine accessories.
The radiator, cooling fans, and hoses in the cooling system are all in good shape and have been tested.
3. The Perfect Match: White Body Panels on the Outside
Had a little accident in a parking lot? Scraped a post? Today is your lucky day. Finding a white panel that fits perfectly will save you a lot of money on painting and bodywork.
Doors: All four of our doors (left/right, front/rear) are in great shape. They come with everything you need, like glass, window regulators, and internal parts.
The boot lid is perfect, straight, and white like it was when it was new. A simple replacement that bolts on.
Guards or fenders are the side panels that get damaged a lot in small accidents.
Back bumper: Clean and ready to go.
4. Lights and mirrors can brighten your life.
Don’t drive around with headlights that are cloudy and yellow or a taillight that is cracked. It’s dangerous and a quick way to get a defect notice.
Headlights: They work perfectly and are crystal clear. These will make your Camry look years younger and make it much easier to see at night.
No cracks or water leaks in the taillights. Make your car look (and signal) like new again.
Side View Mirrors: We have the matching white, electric side mirrors. Don’t let a broken or missing mirror bother you.
5. Fix the inside parts of your ride
You spend all your time inside. A broken control or a seat that won’t stop squeaking can be very annoying. The inside of this car was in good shape, so you could make a big improvement.
Full Seat Set: The front and back seats are in great shape. Is the seat for the driver torn or broken? This is the best fix.
Dashboard and Instrument Cluster: Is your dashboard broken? Are the gauges on your cluster not working? We have the whole thing put together.
Steering Wheel and Airbags: For important safety repairs, we have the steering wheel (with controls) and a full set of airbags (dash, steering, and side) that haven’t been deployed yet.
Armrest, cupholders, and the original Toyota audio head unit are all available for the center console and audio.
6. The Foundation: Tires, Wheels, and Suspension
Wheels made of alloys: A complete set of factory alloy wheels for the 2010 Camry Hybrid. Great for replacing your scratched or broken rims or for upgrading from steel wheels.
Suspension: struts, springs, and control arms. Replacing worn-out suspension with these low-KM parts is a cheap way to fix your Camry’s ride if it feels “floaty” or “clunky.”
