We pull parts off cars, and we do it properly.
City Car Parts Pty Ltd is an auto dismantler in Wacol, on Brisbane's south-west side. We buy vehicles, strip them down, test what comes off, and sell it on at a fraction of new.
What we actually do
Vehicles come to us at end of life — written off, uneconomical to repair, or simply too old to be worth fixing. Roughly three quarters of a car can be reused or recycled, so almost everything on it has somewhere else to go.
We photograph each vehicle as it arrives, record its details, and pull parts to order. Everything is inspected before it is sold. If you give us your VIN we match it against the donor before you pay, which is the single biggest reason people end up with a part that doesn't fit.
We sell used parts, and we also supply new parts — genuine, certified and aftermarket — when used stock isn't the right answer. We buy too: complete vehicles, used parts and scrap metal. Ring us with the details and we'll give you a figure.
Our sales staff know the stock and keep up with what's coming through the gate. If the part you want isn't on the website, that usually means nobody has had time to list it — not that we haven't got it.
Who we sell to
- Independent mechanics and workshops
- Panel beaters and smash repairers
- Fleet and maintenance operators
- Owners doing their own repairs
How we work
Four things we do on every order, whether it's a $60 mirror or a $4,000 engine.
- 1
We record the donor properly
Build date, VIN, odometer and photographs go on file when the car arrives, so we can answer questions about it months later.
- 2
We check fitment against your VIN
Variants change mid-model-year. Matching your VIN to the donor is the difference between a part that bolts on and a part that goes back on a truck.
- 3
We inspect before it leaves
Every part is checked before sale. If something is marked, cracked or worn we tell you before you buy, not after.
- 4
We quote freight up front
The price we give you includes getting it to your door, so you can price the job without a surprise later.
Makes we hold stock for
These are the makes we can point at a vehicle or a shelf for right now. We handle most other makes too — Japanese, Korean, European and American — so ask even if yours isn't listed.
What “used” actually means here
Second-hand covers a lot of ground. These are the words we use and what each one commits us to.
- Used
- Pulled from a donor vehicle and inspected before sale. We'll tell you the donor's odometer reading if you ask.
- Refurbished
- Professionally rebuilt back to industry standard. Covered by our warranty terms.
- Rebuilt
- A faulty part repaired using good components taken from other vehicles.
- New — genuine or aftermarket
- When used stock isn't the right answer we supply new parts, genuine, certified or aftermarket.
Read the warranty terms for what each category is covered for.
Why a used part is usually the right call
For a car that is out of warranty, a good used part does the same job for a fraction of the money — and it is the part the manufacturer originally fitted, not a copy of it.
There are times we will tell you to buy new instead: safety-critical components, anything where a failure strands you, or where the used price is close enough to new that it isn't worth it. We would rather say so than sell you the wrong thing twice.
Read the common questions- It is the original part
- Pulled from the same make and model, so the fit, the connectors and the mounting points are what your car expects.
- Big savings on big items
- Engines, transmissions, catalytic converters and panels are where used makes the most difference to a repair bill.
- Available now
- Discontinued or back-ordered parts for older vehicles often exist only on donor cars. That is the whole point of a yard.
- Nothing new had to be made
- Around 75–80% of a vehicle can be reused or recycled. Every part reused is one that didn't need manufacturing.
See the actual cars
Every vehicle is photographed on arrival, before anything comes off it. No stock images, no catalogue renders — our yard, our stock.

We're a Pty Ltd yard competing with wreckers who have hundreds of reviews behind them. We'd rather earn ours honestly than pad the page out, so this space stays empty until real customers fill it.
If we found you the right part at the right price, two minutes on Google genuinely helps the next person find us.
What we'd rather be judged on
- Whether the part fittedWe check your VIN against the donor before you pay.
- Whether the price was straightFreight is quoted with the part, so there's no sting at the end.
- Whether we picked up the phoneMon–Sat 8am–5pm, someone who knows the stock answers.

Less waste, lower cost, same result.
Every part that leaves our yard is a part that didn't have to be manufactured, and a car that didn't go to landfill whole. That's the whole case for buying used — it just happens to be cheaper too.
