Truth is, there’s a (small) part of us that enjoys owning a BMW. That famous kidney grille, and the sweet hum of the engine, and how it takes corners as if it’s reading your mind – that’s not a car, that’s an experience. As WA Auto Parts it’s a no brainer for us. We get a look in the eye of BMW enthusiasts who stop by, looking for that one part to keep their treasure running well.
But all that passion can sometimes carry a pretty steep price tag, can’t it? The words “BMW repair” alone can strike fear into the heart of any experienced car owner. Hassle I’m sure we’re all familiar with: eye-watering dealership quotes, being made to feel like you’re paying a handsome premium for nothing more than the badge on the bonnet. Makes you wonder if that dream of owning the “Ultimate Driving Machine” could transform into the “Ultimate Repair Bill Machine.”
Well, the crew at WA Auto Parts, your Perth-based most trusted used auto parts buyer, seller & wrecker have some good news for you. For more than 15 years we’ve been the secret for budget-conscious motoring enthusiasts around Perth – and further afield, for loyal BMW fanatics – to save themselves hundreds or even thousands of dollars every year on maintenance. In fact, our customers save more on their BMW repairs — an average of 40% compared to the dealership — when they choose a common sense alternative.
How do we do it? It’s not cheating, and you don’t have to settle for poor performance or reliability from your BMW. It is about knowing what is what in the automotive world and where to find quality parts and most importantly, it should be about promoting a sense of control over your own vehicle at all times.
Solving the BMW Ownership Puzzle: Why Are Repairs and Maintenance So Expensive?
Before we begin our solution, though, let’s talk about the elephant in the shop: why are BMW repairs typically expensive to begin with? Several factors are at play here:
The OEM Factor: Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) parts — the ones stamped with the BMW logo and usually sold through dealerships — will cost you a little; they were created by an automotive manufacturer as opposed to an aftermarket company. You’re not just paying for the part itself, but you’re also paying for the brand of that part and its distribution network.
Technical labor: BMWs are technical vehicles with high tech engineering. The labor rates at the dealerships are generally higher than your average mechanic due to the specialized training and tools needed to service these cars.
The “Luxury” Tax: Look, we all know that there is some implicit feeling among people that if you’re driving around a brand which boasts their cars as “luxury”, then no surprise those same drivers will have to accept paying more for anything including getting your car fixed. This may occasionally result in inflated prices.
It’s a perfect storm that can make BMW owners feel as if they are perpetually walking a financial tightrope. But what if there was a smarter way to do this without sacrificing on the quality your BMW deserves? Enter WA Auto Parts.
Our approach: You Sourcing, Big Savings
We at WA Auto Parts, based right here in Perth, have based our company on the idea of not only being able to provide new parts to the masses but also alternative options which are every bit as good for all your automotive needs. Offering complete services for all makes and models, which range from Japanese imports and European luxury cars to those constructed right here in Australia, Korean vehicles and American favourites as well – think cars, trucks, SUVs, 4WDs, vans station wagons and dual cabs – we have also become the popular choice when it comes to BMW service Centre sunbury owners who are looking to reduce the pain of those big repair bills.
Here’s how we enable those big savings for you:
The Power of the Aftermarket : The landscape of the automotive aftermarket is vast, and not unlike a forest filled with trees; in our case that forest is full of trees offering quality — sometimes even better than what you get from your favorite OEM… or dealer. These parts are also subjected to strict testing and quality control, frequently in the same factories that provide the original manufacturers — sans the BMW logo, and their accompanying inflated sticker price. We’re meticulous with our suppliers, so that you receive not only quality aftermarket parts, but the right first-time.| We also make sure we provide the BMW spare parts alternatives for your precious vehicle – all at a fraction of what you’d pay at another service centre.
Source Quality OEM Equivalent Parts: What if you could get the same part that comes in a BMW box, but without the fancy packaging and paying double list price. That’s the case with our network of suppliers all too frequently. We use manufacturers that make OEM and aftermarket replacements – you get the same quality without the high price. It’s sensible to keep your BMW in top condition without spending a fortune.
The durable advantage of recycled/re-manufactured parts: For some non-critical components, superior quality recycled and reconditioned parts provide an extremely economical and environmentally friendly alternative. Our team of parts experts is always ready to help you find the part you’re looking for and with one year minimum warranty, rest assured – it’s worth it! This saves you money at the same time helps create an ecofriendly automotive circle. Why spend the full price on a brand new, working part when instead you can get a thoroughly inspected and tested recycled one for a fraction of the price?
More Than 15 Years of Experience on Your Side: Over 15 years serving as the leading used car parts buyer, seller and wrecker in Perth has given us complete knowledge about all automotive parts and what our customers are looking for. Our highly experienced staff at our central Perth workshop (call us on (08) 9358 1392 ) is always available to assist in finding the right part for your u BMW and have it fitted accordingly.

Seeing is Believing: Real Savings for Real BMW Owners
We understand that talk is cheap. So, let’s look at a hypothetical, but very realistic, scenario. Imagine your beloved BMW 3 Series needs a new water pump and thermostat – a common repair that can hit your wallet hard at a dealership.
This is just one example, and the savings can vary depending on the specific repair and parts required. But the pattern is clear: choosing WA Auto Parts can lead to significant reductions in your BMW repair costs.
