Why Buy LKQ?

Updated: Jun 7, 2023


LKQ trucks are out daily across the nation to Keep You Moving

Qualified, usable parts are inventoried and catalogued with accurate descriptions as to their quality and identification.


VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) matching ensures the integrity of our inventory. For comparison and value shopping, knowing a part’s history will ensure you get the best part for your specific needs.


Meticulous care is given to provide all possible information online for any LKQ part offered:

· Name, description, picture, and location of the part

· Make, model, and year of the source vehicle

· Mileage

· Fitment (compatibility with other years/makes/models that use this exact part)

· Any alternative part number (new aftermarket part or compatible OE part)

· Additional used parts available from this exact vehicle if you need more than one part

· Price and shipping terms

· Warranty coverage


After an order is placed, all reclaimed auto body parts are cleaned and inspected one final time before being shipped UPS or, in the case of oversized items like motors, transmissions, seats, wheels, bumpers, and tires, placed on a freight delivery truck.


Environmental consciousness or “we recycle everything”

LKQ is proud to be the world’s largest recycler in the automotive industry. Our salvage vehicle operations recycle more than 90% of the materials from end-of-life vehicles that would otherwise end up in a landfill. LKQ was built on a solid foundation with attention to recycling and sustainability efforts, helping to preserve planet earth through eco-friendly initiatives and innovative technologies and solutions.

· Fluids are drained from all vehicles and recycled, including oil, gas, and antifreeze. Every drop of liquid is removed, saving millions of gallons of caustic or hazardous materials from contaminating land and groundwater.

· Once a vehicle is devoid of usable parts, LKQ sells any leftover metal to scrap yards that repurpose steel, copper, and aluminum.

· Cars are the most recycled consumer product on the planet, with more than 10 million recycled in the U.S. and Canada every year, producing 750 million pounds of scrap each month.
