can any of you guys recommend a good wrecking yard in perth for subaru stuff. cheers..

Unfortunately Perth has no really good Subaru wreckers.

Swan Subaru in Kenwick used to be really good, when owned by a bloke by the name of Alan, however when he sold up / jumped out the place went sour. Now its terrible, the service is bad, the prices change every minute and there's now virtually nothing there pre-Liberty. They do however have a good range of EJ era parts, but whether its worth putting up with them to get said parts is another thing.
Jap Parts Plus in Maddington also used to be great, hell first time I met Subarino was out there (when he went to inspect the hatch I had told him about online). Lately though they've changed their focus and are now more into Nissan and Toyota imports, and what MY's and L's they had are virtually gone. Their prices are usually acceptable though, and they let you pick through the cars yourself.
There's one in Malaga called A-Part I think, only dealt with them once and they did alright by me. I've often considered driving out there for parts (I live SOR) but thanks to a strong Subaru enthusiast community I've not had to yet.

There's also one in Rockingham, although I've never dealt with them.

I should probably state the above views are my own and not those of AUSubaru.

Jap Wholesale in Wangara looked pretty good when I was there. Absolute bucketloads of EJ stuff.

all sounds good thank you both for your help ill have to check em out cheers.

good call Tim, although agreed by almost all on here.

Best option is probally contact the board members on here first and see what we have collecting dust in our garages - i would say that we are resonable with $ and in some cases we will even help fit (depending on time and location).

The guy in Rockingham wont let u cross his little chain gate he has... so if u can't explain what u want to him then your shit out of luck. No idea of what his range of parts is because he wont let anyone see actually what he has.

I agree with Tim for Jap Parts Plus. Fond pastg memories but not as good as it used to be. They used to have rows upon rows of MY wagons and L-series, but not anymore. In saying that i still go there when i need parts. They still get excited when i show them what i turned the Hatch into.

I haven't tried any of the other places.

Same here guys ..
I have fond memories of Jap parts before he sold out.
It was good hunting through the rows of subies.
The malaga one is reasonable.

A parts in Malaga are reasonably priced & the parts I got from them were good quality.
I prefer private wrecks because you can usually pull the parts off yourself & get those tiny items like upholstry plugs etc that wreckers charge you $5 for.

ive only ever been to one in malaga, its probably A-Parts but i cant remember. its on truganina rd anyways. theyve been alright for most parts ive bought - always had what i wanted, fairly priced usually.
