Capalaba wreckers were recommended to me while needing parts for a 15 + year old car. David couldn’t have been more helpful using their shared data base he was able to source the required part from interstate in a very quick & timely fashion. His follow up phone service was muchly appreciated. I would recommend these guys as your first call when needing parts.

Approximate cost: $110

Disorganized, doesn't do things in timely fashion, blames customers for their errors. Aggro when challenged on their mistakes and rewrites history. If you have to organize for them to take your dead car, don't hold your breath, look elsewhere.

Hi Travis, sorry your sale turned sour. Maybe give us all of the details next time. This review is a stark contrast to our previous customers. Thanks, Chris.

I've been here twice to get parts for my sons older Toyota model cars. First time we were told to stay in the shop and a staff member went out and found the needed part. The second time we were allowed to wander around the yard by ourselves looking for a new gear stick knob. It was pretty gross but fun to be able to wander around. Found out later there are lots of snakes in and around the cars but we didn't see any luckily. Found the part and it was good value at $5. Would certainly go back there for parts as it's a great place and not too far from home.

I started using Capalaba Wreckers after I saw my husband saving so much money by getting parts for his car. I needed to get new tail lights for my car due to them fading but the new price from the dealership was just obscene. At first I didn't like the idea of buying second hand parts from cars that had clearly been in accidents but to my amazement the lights I got were as good if not better than new and less than half the price. I also got wipers and a few pumps which certainly saved me a lot of money. Just because things are second hand does not mean they are not good. The staff are so helpful in getting parts and being a girl I need all the help I can get. Next time you need parts for your car, new or old try the wreckers first, you might just be surprised. Capalaba wreckers were able to help me with everything I needed at a much better price than I could have ever got from a dealership.

I have to say that this was a learning curve for me. I had never been to a wrecker, but had a small accident and was financially unable to buy new parts for my car. My neighbour took me in, told the man what I was after, and ten minutes later I had it.... for less than a quarter of the price I would have paid new.

Very good experience for me!

Capalaba Wreckers is HUGE. We needed parts for our son's first car and headed here, as it was our local wrecker. After a hello to the resident birds, we headed in with our list and were taken care of by a lovely man who systematically went though our list and got everything we needed out of the cars for us, checked them over, and then gave us a great deal as a bulk price.

We have also sold an old, unwanted car to them. They came to our house, paid cash and took it away. Easy transaction.

Highly recommended.

One word would sum this place up and finish this review - Outstanding. Let me tell you more.....I had the back tail light on my car smashed somehow (on one side) destroying the light assembly. The light on my car was one piece and very big. I could feel the expense mount up just by looking at the size of it. I rang my car dealer (Toyota) who advised me that the light assembly would cost a whopping $290.00 plus a further $90 to install. I decided to call the wreckers but figured as the car was a fairly new model that I wouldn't have much luck. That's where I was wrong. I called Capalaba wreckers and whilst they didn't have one in stock, they went about sourcing one for me and had it delivered to them costing me $134.00. A huge difference from $290 plus 90 bucks installation from a car dealer. They didn't have to go to so much trouble for me, but the fact of the matter is they did and they are simply brilliant in my book for doing so. I've been there a couple of times since and got some further good deals. Thanks Capalaba Wreckers, you are and always be a great help to me.

Capalaba Wreckers have acres upon acres of vehicles to be pulled apart and sold, bit by bit. So large are the premises that the employees take off on scooters to source the parts. Walking would take far too long! You have the option of either perusing by yourself and picking off your own parts, or having the blokes in the store do it for you. It's cheaper doing it yourself. Capalaba Wreckers also sell a large range of expensive high performance tyres for large vehicles. They have a nice assortment of ice cold drinks and magazines for perusal as you wait for your part to be found. Highly recommended!

Lots of spares available. Pick and Pull option is great as you get the parts yourself, much cheaper than having them do it for you. Great service, very reliable.

We go here often when we need spare parts and they usually have what we need. Prices are usually good especially if you get the part yourself. Service is adequately helpful.

As I have no idea about cars, I found the guys here so fantastic. They were so helpful and served me as soon as I walked in. They also fitted my mirrors free of charge. I will defiantly go back.

Prices seem to be cheaper than anywhere else in the local area. They've always had the part we were after and are generally very good at their job and know their stocks well.
