Holden Wreckers Brisbane
Holden shut down for good in 2020, and the parts situation has only tightened since. Commodores, Colorados and the rest are still on Queensland roads in numbers, with no factory behind them. That scarcity is what puts real money on a Holden, even a tired one.

Which Holden models do you wreck and buy?
| Model | What keeps demand up | Still worth money if… |
|---|---|---|
| Commodore, Calais | Brand wound up in 2020, so nothing new is being made | Engine or gearbox has failed |
| Colorado, Rodeo | Work utes kept running well past their book value | Ex-work, high kilometres, damaged tray |
| Captiva | Known for expensive faults, so used parts are the only sensible fix | Transmission or engine trouble |
| Astra, Cruze | Common small cars with steady panel and mechanical demand | Non-running or not worth repairing |
| Barina | Cheap to keep going on second-hand parts | Written off, hail damaged, tired |
Not listed? Ring anyway. We buy across the whole Holden range.
Why a discontinued brand is worth more, not less
It seems backwards, but Holden being discontinued has kept the value in these cars. Because no new Holdens are being built, every owner keeping a Commodore, Colorado or Barina on the road depends on used parts, so the demand for them stays high. A Holden that is no longer worth driving is often worth a genuine amount as a parts car. On top of that, the Commodore in particular has a strong enthusiast following, so tidy examples and good donor cars hold real value. We factor all of this in when we quote your Holden.
What used Holden parts do you sell?
Commodore parts are the ones that move fastest, and they will keep moving as the fleet ages with nothing replacing it. We stock engines and gearboxes, diffs, suspension, doors, bonnets, guards, bumper covers, headlights and tail lights, seats, dash parts and the electronic modules that are effectively unobtainable new. Colorado and Captiva running gear is worth asking about too.
Everything is pulled and checked by us rather than bought in, so we can tell you what the part came off, how far it had done and what condition it is in. Give us the model, the year and ideally the VIN and we will tell you straight away whether it is on the shelf.

How do you work out what it is worth?
We look at the model first, since a Colorado or Commodore sits above a small Barina on parts demand and metal, then the year, the kilometres, the condition, and whether it runs. We add the value of the running gear and body that are still good, plus the scrap weight. Because Holden parts are in steady demand, even a tired or non-running example holds its figure better than you might expect.
Selling a Commodore
The Commodore has a following that outlasts the brand, from daily-driver sedans to the sportier models people collect and modify. That means a Commodore can be worth money as a running car, as a parts donor for other owners, or for its sought-after components. Whether yours is a tidy sedan, a worn-out hack or a project that stalled, it is worth getting a quote rather than assuming the badge no longer counts for anything.
Selling a Holden ute or Colorado
Holden’s utes hold particularly strong value. The Colorado is a capable work ute with plenty of metal and sought-after parts, so even a high-kilometre or damaged one brings a solid figure. The older Rodeo and the Commodore-based ute have their own followings, both as workhorses and among enthusiasts. Because Holden is no longer making anything new, owners keeping these utes going rely on the used-parts market, which keeps demand up. Whether your Holden ute still works for a living or has finally given up, it is worth a quote, and any tray, canopy or tow gear fitted can add to the offer.

What paperwork do I need in Queensland?
Proof you own the car and photo ID is the main thing. If it is registered, we will point you to cancelling the Queensland rego and any refund, and the plates are yours to keep. If it was written off, check whether the insurer owns it before selling.
Our guides walk through each step: cancelling QLD registration, transferring registration, what Queensland requires after a sale and selling a written-off car.
Frequently asked questions
Is my Holden worth less now that the brand is gone?
No. If anything, demand for used Holden parts has stayed strong because owners need them to keep their cars running. That supports the offer.
Do you buy Holdens that do not run?
Yes. Non-running Holdens are still worth good money as parts cars. We tow them free.
Do you sell used Holden parts as well as buy cars?
Yes. We wreck the Holdens we buy and sell the tested parts — engines, gearboxes, panels, lights, interiors and modules. Tell us the model, year and VIN and we will check the shelf.
Do you buy Commodores for parts?
Yes. Commodores are sought after as running cars and as parts donors, so they hold real value either way.
Do you buy damaged or written-off Holdens?
Yes. Damaged, wrecked and written-off Holdens are all bought for parts and salvage.
Is pickup free?
Yes. Free pickup across Brisbane, running or not.
Do I need a roadworthy certificate?
