I trust my mechanic, but now we BOTH won't trust parts from this business. My transmission went out in May 2024 and was replaced by a transmission from LKQ. It crapped out completely after just over a year. That kind of thing shouldn't be happening with such a major component. They took forever to get back to my mechanic's inquiry. We were both hoping they'd help us out. NOPE. Your subpar parts are making mechanics look bad, while milking customers dry.
Parts may be clean and well packaged but not right. Check before leaving with old part if possible. My was not correct. Expect long delays on the phone or in person. Customer service has no place here.
Horrible experience! The shop I took my 2012 Ram to is one that I have trusted implicitly in the past. After doing my own research on a reman engine, the owner of the shop assured me that his supplier provides an excellent product and recommended that I go with his source (LKQ). I didn't know LKQ did reman engines. Now I know, they don't. What a HUGE DISSAPOINTMENT!!!!!!! This engine sounds like a bucket of bolts being shaken. It has more knocks and ticks than a worn-out diesel on cold start-up. I have actually been in 2 drive throughs where they have asked me to 'please turn your car off, we can't hear you." The owner of the shop told me not to worry, they will do whatever is needed to take care of it. Then, after having it for a day, told me he doesn't hear anything abnormal and would like to have me bring it back for another day of diagnostics. Meanwhile, I'm left without a vehicle for the day, a $35 Uber, and $7,000 out of my savings account for a junk engine. Unfortunately, it is becoming clear that I will likely have to spend additional resources and retain an attorney to successfully resolve this incredible debacle.
Save yourself! Buy an engine from anywhere but LKQ!!!
started off by getting the wrong part later then promised. cant get any call backs from jason who is the so called manager that is never there. john gave every excuse in the book from corporate meetings to him being out sick. we had to put our customer in rentals and it cost us over $400. the number they provided to call on the response to this review never got answered either. this place is a joke. . use another supplier
Horrible customer service , they never answer the phones when you go to that location it's always an issues with the parts or they give you run around with parts you pay for
We ordered a part on Tuesday it is now the following Monday they've given us the wrong part and offered no compensation no discount No refund. In fact they made us hold on to the wrong part until we can come swap it out. totally unprofessional, they will not call when the part is ready they keep making us call back and go through the whole process waiting on hold. Absolutely unacceptable Eric was friendly and helpful at first but no customer service skills whatsoever. Screw this location after this we will not be purchasing anything from LKQ ever again. Find another junkyard in Phoenix this one is terrible! I would not trust that you would get your parts in a timely manner or in our case get the correct part. What a joke. I would fire everyone at the Phoenix office
Bad bad costumer service I hope the owner responds to this message, I called 2 weeks ago for dash panel after 2 days I got call from lkq they said the dash panel ready to pick up , I drive to there i wait for an hour to pick up the dash panel , after 1 hour they told me they can't find it, I call they order another one , yesterday they call me told me the dash panel it's available to pick up, I told them send it to shop, I was waiting all day no one show up , I call today they told me they dash panel it's not available yet and hang up the phone on me that it's really bad castmer service
This company does not care about the individual customer. They only seem to care about shops that do large volumes of business with them
Purchased an ABS actuator for our 2013 Toyota prius, on august seventh and was basically informed that the part was not complete
I was told the other half of the part would be in next day. So on the eighth I went into pick up the part and was informed that it was not there and that's their new mexico location, had not responded to the email request for the other half of the part
While I was there, after realizing that the new mexico location have not responded to their email request for the other half of the part.
You would think the staff behind the counter would basically say me call the New Mexico location and locate the other half as a part and expedite its shipping here.
Their overall response that I did get and attitude was apathetic at best. I did ask if I could get some kind of credit for the inconvenience
Their response kind of confused me a little bit, they told me that they could source apart from another location.
The only problem is it would take about another week. The reason why I confused me is why didn't they want to just walk over and grab the phone and call the New Mexico location and take the time to locate the other half of the part
Spoke with ED, who was great and helped me out. However, there is another feller there at the LKQ sales office in Arizona (when you press option 3 from the main phone tree) who blind transferred me 3 times to internet sales without listening to what I was asking for. It was a frustrating experience. I asked Ed who this guy was but he said he didn't know and that it was possibly "one of the guys in the back".
Like I said, Ed was great, however it took 4 calls and 45 minutes of hold time before I was able to get to him. If I wasn't so persistent I would have given up but I needed the part for the price that was extended. If you don't have patience...this is not the store to purchase your parts from. If you can tolerate frustration well, and enjoy being treated poorly....this is probably the vendor for you.
Horrible customer service , they never answer the phones when you go to that location it's always an issues with the parts or they give you run around with parts you pay for . Ariel Santana the manager always so rude has bad customer service treats customers so poorly.
People who Hand you the parts treat me very bad I bought Subaru quarter panel they didn’t help me to load it to my truck plus Iam waiting on the line for my turn he jumped to the person behind me he accused me of bad attitudes I don’t know why I go there to pay and pick up my parts I don’t joke and talk to them and I will never buy again from them I will take my business somewhere else
Hands down WORST Company I have ever dealt with in any line of work. Impossible to get anyone on the phone. When you do they are extremely rude and nasty. Do not support these people!
Very very slow. Standing in line for literally 35 minutes and not even 1 customer being served. Talking to each. They just move around . Cashier is even slower
Horrible experience with this company. Both my brother and i purchased engines from them within about a week of each other for 2 separate vehicles. My experience, they shipped me an engine with bent valves, rust throughout the interior, and a few other issues. None of this was visible before install. Filed a warranty claim, they replaced the engine, but told me i had to eat the cost of the install because it was my fault. I should have checked the engine first before install. No remorse, no empathy. Just told me tough break, move on. My brothers experience was much the same. Horrible customer experience and an overall attitude of its your fault our parts are defective.
Always have had a good experience with lkq. Their website is easy to navigate. The Phoenix location has an amazing front desk gal (I'm so sorry I'm terrible with names). All the parts I have gotten from them were clean and functional. Great place to save a ton on used auto parts.
Viviana was very pleasant to deal with. Unfortunately, we were sold an engine with bad timing chain and misadjusted valves. So after paying $1,800 for an engine, here we are paying $1,200 for timing kit replacement (chain, tensioner, sprocket etc etc.) and readjustment. We’re out of warranty so, guess just SOL!
They are a very busy warehouse. All the time. Expect to spend some time there. However, It is time very well spent. All accommodations are met. So you get the exact part that you need. If you don't, they are very reasonable with exchange or returns.
Worse customer service ever bounced me around to 3 different reps one of them hung up on me in the middle of me placing my order for the parts , called again 2nd rep said he didn't have the parts available then the first rep send me to another rep to check out and went to voice mail ! wait time for someone to answer is ridiculous and they have more than 20+ reps they say !!
Update 11-3-2024: another 10 minutes of hold. No answer. This place must be the worst place in the World to call for parts. I rather pay the dealer a higher price and save my time. Terrible terrible business practice! Seems like nothing has changed here.
Previous review: Customer service isn't their strongest skill. Long holds when you call, then they hang up and don't even bother to call you back. The girls mostly seem like they have no clue about a vehicle or parts. Be ready for rude employees and 15 minute holds on phone calls. They don't even greet their customers. Way to go!
This place has become a joke, customer service means nothing to the people i interacted with. They lied about having the parts i ordered, they all have different excuses for the same issue, just lame service at best.
I have been using LKQ for all my vehicles needs for more the 17yrs For my company and now for my personal auto needs. I wouldn't buy anywhere else. Always friendly, professional and experienced. I highly recommend LKQ
After waiting 5 days they gave me wrong side Axl they gave me L side instead of right side when I made the order I didn’t read the receipt but I told them I need right side and I drove from Surprise over 40 miles and even didn’t hear any sorry word
I was reminded why I never order anything from them. After wasting 30 minutes of my time. Telling the guy I have a card on file. The girl he called wouldn't do anything and suggested they return the part and bring it back later when payment has been made. I tried to call, was put on hold, hung up on and transferred to a voice-mail. That doesn't work for me, your customer. I finally wrote a check to take care of my customer and not waste anymore time. Come to find out they charged my card and deposited my check. Awesome, I paid twice, because they are idiots and don't care about there customers.
I'm sorry to have read so many negative reviews about this company. My experience was top notch. Daniel took my info over the phone and provided supreme service. I used my keypad to enter my card info instead of verbally giving him the info. The sale was finalized and when I arrived at will call, Ariel assisted me with getting my part pulled. Jaden retrieved my part quickly and brought it right to me. All staff I encountered were extremely professional and nice. The establishment was clean, organized and welcoming to customers. I was in awe of the warehouse area, what I could see of it, for the cleanliness and organization. The shelves were neat and tidy and the staff utilized safety procedures for the equipment they were utilizing. If I could have given 10 stars, I would have. Great job guys! Keep doing what you do. Oh yes, my part was about $70 cheaper than online and I was able to leave with it, not wait for a week or more for delivery. Their main customer base is companies dealing with auto body repairs, but they are also open to the public. So very glad I found them.
Overall happy with my auto parts for a really good price versus online shipping costs. Ordering specific parts was pretty straightforward. The guy on the phone made sure I got the specific type for my vehicle. They did not call back when the parts were in within the time frame given. When I had to call back during lunch I was put on hold several times, until one lady just took care of my order confirmation that the parts were in. Overall picking up was a normal wait time, and they carried the items into my trunk which was great.
J.R. in sales is a nice guy. Prompt when answering the phone and helpful when possible. Partially a poor experience from the parts department but it seems to be getting resolved.
Times passed now after this pleasant experience (Not that pleasant). So basically this employee went on to say that he could make this paint work if it was him painting , didn’t want to keep trying “cause they’ll go out of business”by mixing another half pint, did want to use the color camera, continued on trying to push this paint on me. After the back and forth this guy mentioned it to the manager and he agreed! To refund cause they didn’t wanna try. I understand it’s not going to be perfect but cmon!Overall very disappointed like my guy below. Big waist of time!
