Not all auto wreckers are created equal. The quality of parts you receive depends heavily on how the wrecking operation is run, from how vehicles are acquired to how parts are stored and tested.
At Local Auto Parts, every vehicle is carefully dismantled by experienced technicians. Parts are removed using proper tools and techniques to avoid damage, unlike rushed operations where components are pulled with little care.
Each part is visually inspected and graded before being catalogued. We note any cosmetic imperfections, wear levels, and functional status so you know exactly what you are purchasing.
Our Dandenong South facility uses covered, organised storage to protect parts from weather and damage. Engines and transmissions are stored on pallets, electrical components are kept dry, and body panels are racked to prevent scratches.
Our parts interpreters have years of experience and can help you identify exactly the right part for your vehicle. We check compatibility before you buy, reducing the chance of returns and saving you time.

If you need a replacement transmission, understanding the differences between the main types will help you make an informed decision and ensure you get the right unit for your vehicle.
Manual transmissions are mechanically simpler, with fewer electronic components. This makes them generally more affordable as used parts and easier to inspect for condition. Common signs of wear include difficulty shifting, grinding noises, and clutch slippage.
Automatic transmissions are more complex, with hydraulic systems and electronic controls. When buying used, check the fluid colour (should be red or pink, not brown or burnt smelling) and ask about the mileage. A well-maintained auto trans with under 150,000 km has plenty of life remaining.
CVTs are becoming more common in modern vehicles. They use a belt and pulley system instead of fixed gears. Used CVT units require careful sourcing, as they are more sensitive to maintenance history than traditional automatics.
Transmissions must match your engine, drive type (2WD vs 4WD), and model year. Our team can cross-reference your vehicle details to find a compatible unit from our inventory.

Choosing recycled auto parts is not just good for your wallet. It is also one of the most practical things you can do to reduce your environmental impact as a vehicle owner.
Manufacturing new parts requires raw materials, energy, and produces emissions. When you reuse an existing part, you eliminate the environmental cost of producing a replacement from scratch. A recycled engine, for example, saves the energy and materials that would have gone into casting, machining, and assembling a new unit.
End-of-life vehicles contain steel, aluminium, copper, glass, and plastics. Professional auto recyclers like Local Auto Parts recover and resell these components, diverting thousands of tonnes of material from landfill every year.
Vehicles contain engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and refrigerant, all of which require careful handling. Licensed wreckers drain and dispose of these fluids responsibly, preventing soil and water contamination.
By purchasing recycled parts, you participate in a circular economy where products are used for their full lifespan rather than discarded prematurely. This model is increasingly recognised as essential for sustainable resource management.
Choose recycled. Choose Local Auto Parts. Call 03 8753 2189 or visit our Dandenong South yard.
As for Passepartout, he thought Mr. Fogg’s manoeuvre simply glorious. The captain had said “between eleven and twelve knots,” and the Henrietta confirmed his prediction. How the adventure ended will be seen anon. Aouda was anxious, though she said nothing. As for Passepartout, he thought Mr. Fogg’s manoeuvre simply glorious. The captain had said

During the first days, they went along smoothly enough. The sea was not very unpropitious, the wind seemed stationary in the north-east.
