DIY Auto Parts is a car junkyard in Broadmeadows.
Admission Fee is $2 (as with Pick-A-Part). You bring your own tools to take parts off cars. Parts prices here are similar to Pick-A-Part (depending on what you're getting). Others are slightly cheaper or more expensive.
The car selection is good here for imported cars, and Aussie Fords as well. They also group them into sections in a more organised fashion than Pick-A-Part.
They're organised into: Holden, Toyota, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Mazda, Honda and Hyundai/Kia/Ssangyong. Then, at the back corner, there is just: European and 4WDs as well.
They also have a 'desirable' section just to the left of the entrance, for cars that they think are likely to be popular.
Staff are mostly good in my experience but again YMMV. Their website sucks though, they do not have a stock database anymore, so you need to keep track on their Facebook page, which can get difficult.
Parking is pretty good, Public Transport access is okay, compared to both Pick-A-Parts. The 901 SmartBus runs right outside. If only Campbellfield Station on the Upfield Line would reopen, that would make it perfect.
I would happily come back here if I knew the part I needed was likely to be there. read more
