They are definitely CLOSE on Thanksgiving Day. It’s 10:10am at the time of this post. There was a line of people waiting patiently to open up the gates.
It would be really healthful to post that you are CLOSE on Thanksgiving Day.
I am so happy that Chris campos helped me today he was kind , extremely patient and checked everything I purchased for my car . Plus the exterior parts I needed were in like new condition I has no problems spending almost 500 again big shout out to Chris Campos Monrovia
Came here for a discontinued part for my car.
I did find the part but it was defective I didn't purchase warranty so yeah my loss. You won't get your money back without purchasing their warranty.
When I arrived there I asked one of the workers at the front gate for guidance on the row I was looking for, he just pointed and said behind those cars lol. I was like which cars...I mean it is car junkyard.
Not so friendly or helpful staff here, no smiles none had that welcoming attitude, it was all the opposite, then my stupid azz finally realized oh crap I'm at a junkyard lol! So what to expect right
The car selection is not bad at all. The cost of the parts with today's economy not bad either. I did find that people deliberately cut A/C lines not sure why people do that, which is the part I was looking for.
Overall not a bad junkyard and clean too compare to others. Just don't expect to get friendly and helpful staff at the gate, it's more like walking through a prison gate attitudes lol!
Other than that be ready to walk the yard and look on your own with no guidance from staff to point you in the right direction for the car you're looking for.
I've been to all pick your parts in southern Cali, and their Monrovia location has the greatest customer service. their manager CREIG I can't thank him enough he really goes out of his way to make sure the customers are leaving happy. thank you guys
Thanks Greg for fast and efficient help with subframe part, he organized help and pulled out the part I needed. So many thanks to this gentleman who saved my diy project
Great Service, cars are turned over every 4-5 weeks, the crew who can pick for you are out by 3pm, checkout is speedy and warranty and exchange is 90 days. Great deal.
Absolutely the best PYP location I've been to. Very professional and supportive. All staff - Ed, Jesse, Greg and picker staff were efficient and knowledgeable. After decades in Auto body and restoration business work this location is Tops!
Great place! I've been coming to Pick Your Parts for years. Never disappointed. Prices are fair! I will say that It would be nice if their business hours were better accommodating such as 6-7am opening time. We mechanics are up super early.
The yard could due with a cleaner approach as the truck section had parts strewn about that bringing the cart down the isle is almost impossible. Even though the parts I needed were available, the vehicle was still very difficult to get parts off due to spacing. For being an out of state customer the pricing was fair for what was needed, and I would come back when in CA again.
Just scammed me out of the 5$ entrance fee and cost me 5$ in gas driving there by not updating their inventory online. Always call these scam car parks the day you’re going to make sure they still have what their online inventory says they have. Rude employees, traumatizing experience overall.
First time going to this yard. very friendly environment i really wish the one in sun valley be the same. manager at the monroviia yard pretty cool and mellow.
if i lived nearby this will be my spot. Sadly i live in sun valley. SO if you have the chance to check out this yard you should come check it out. i highly recommended. its pretty close to the 210 and the 10 freeway.
This LKQ tried to charge me $200 for a transmission cover. Literally, left the other half of the case and the entire transmission. Would have been better off buying the entire thing for $300. A similar situation happened over a year ago which is why I stopped going. Thought I’d give it another chance, not going ever again. Hope the guy that gave me the price gets fired
The place is clean and I encounter nothing but friendly people there, and those that were not as friendly they were minding their own business.
The place has all kinds of cars, chances are you'll find what you're looking for.
, but nonetheless I would check their website and inventory and prices before I go there.
Good place to concider if you need car parts.
Update: the admission has more than doubled, now $5 to get in. Parts prices seemed to have tripled. All locations go by the same pricing index. Other location wanted to charge me $456 for a cracked bumper cover. Extra for license plate holder. Extra for 1 busted fog light & extra for the 18 inch foam insert.

This place is busy on the weekends. They have a large volume of cars and trucks. It's a roll of the dice if your parts are still on the car when you get there. At times they will be stripped to the bone. Also many people will damage and cut things up just to get their simple part. For example let's rip the seats out and break the windshield to get the cigarette lighter. Don't forget to cut the wiring harness. They offer a 90 day warranty program. Bring it back if it does not work or fit. If you do not want to pay extra for the warranty. You better tell them first because they will automatically charge you for it. No more give your phone number and get points for discounts. Parking is plentiful. Just watch the signs off the street because the entrance is tricky. Main entrance is located around the turn in the backside. They do have guys hanging out that will pull your parts for a fee. From the basic to the engines. In the parking lot there is a food truck and a small setup selling wire clothes and some tools. In the back of the lot there is a glass install shop.
A warranty they automatically apply and don’t tell you is optional except on a poster in small writing
Also everyone is rude
Also the warranty is about 30% of the price of your parts
Spent a lot more than I wanted to and I had to leave some stuff
I really love this place the staff is pretty lay back they don’t really hassle you. I been going for like 16 years now that’s where I learned mechanics.. if I didn’t know how to do it on my vehicles I would go there to practice there first before working on my vehicles.. I always teach my self I find that is the best thing you can do because consciously you know your becoming better and better day by day....
Hey come out check LKQ out!!! Bring your tools and friends to tear down any car on the lot. Control modules from pick your part locations have worked great for me on hard to find computers...... Have fun!!

just a really bad experience, I needed a headlight assembly and saw a touareg at this location so I took it apart and brought it to the cashier and I asked him if it would fit to my touareg, this is from a V6 and mine is a V8 and he said yes, they always work usually there are no returns,. I asked him if I needed a warranty and he said again they usually work you don't need it. So I bought it with no warranty, the headlight assembly fits but won't work, everything inside is different even the light bulbs. I went back about 15 minutes after since I tried to swap the headlight assembly at their parking lot and went back to the cashier 3099 and he sent me to the guy at the gate with the blue hat and he said that there is nothing you can do, you didn't buy a warranty you just lost your money and walked away. Kind of tricky business I will say, you got to check your parts needed end to end before you go if you are not an expert other wise you will loose your money as this blue hat manager said.
Today was my first day in pick your part location and I learned:
The picture of the vehicle is a lot far from the real condition.
You need to look for the ubication of the vehicle in the web page because if you ask to the pick your part crew they will point to a direction and you will spend the day looking between about 200 or 300 vehicles.
I have not clear how pick your part charges you but next time I need to check twice with the cashier and avoid be asked for the rude guy on the door.
The new car alert is a scam!, the mail came days after the car came into the place so you cant find a lotbof parts
The manager on Sunday is very rude doesn't know the difference between real money and counterfeit money they should have somebody that knows the difference makes it very inconvenient for everybody thank you
