INSANE PRICING same price or more as ebay prices , better off buying on ebay and shipped to my door for less. parking lot is full of nails and screws too
This is crazy.. a fuel hose for an 04 dodge ram cost me fifteen dollars and then if I wanna put a guarantee on it that's another five dollars. A brand new o e m fuel hose is $18 grantedThey didn't have one in stock , so I had to get a used one so my customer can go on his trip or Thanksgiving, but this is insane buying used costs more than new.I remember when copiers owned this yard, it was reasonable.This is gouging
We’ve never had issues with this place. Have been going there for years and all of sudden they want to catch attitudes. Upcharge on a part you can get for the same price brand new if not cheaper online considering this part was a base model part. Two they wanted to charge for 2 things on ONE part as a whole. Idk what’s going on all of a sudden but that’s not a good way to do business especially for someone whose been a faithful customer for years!!!
I got robbed for tool while in this place .I walk to the vending machine and back in that time my hole tool box was stolen. I informed the manager and staff . There was nothing I can be done ! So then I proceeded to look for my tools and I was kicked out and wasn’t aloud to search. They threatened to call cops on me .
I wanna take a minute to describe the time it just took me to clean off all the blue "marker" off the $300.00 worth of parts I just received. My son, picked them up. He is far to kind to confront anyone. So I will ask here. What is the policy on parts being sold and the policy on how long the employees get to draw all over ever part I buy. Im genuinely curious. Its getting really old. If your policy is to mark them, ok. But is your policy to let employees draw on parts so much that an hour later, i just finished cleaning them. I wish I had known I could post photos, I would have prior to cleaning them. This is absurd. Please explain to every customer you have, that gives a darn, why, so much marker is needed. As a business owner and owner of many vehicles, this is getting old. Thanks.
It had been a few years since my last trip here, and I was dismayed at how the quality of the vehicles on site had changed for the worse. The staff was nice enough, but most of the vehicles I looked at were just picked to the bone. It had also rained a couple days prior, and the entire place was just an unsafe mud pit. Y’all should really throw down some gravel or rock in some of the main walkways. Someone is going to slip and really injure themselves.
Love this place - Everyone is so nice and willing to help especially Hayden who went above and beyond. Hayden really knows all about cars and very knowledgeable. Will definitely come back
Hadn't been there in years and went today. All engine and trans pans have been hole drilled in them. Prices are very high and counter not so freindly. You will have better luck some were else.
Gave full details and answered all questions honestly with rep that set up to purchase my vehicle. On day of pickup, they try to take a couple hundred off quote. Calls are monitored and recorded so they can play it back and hear the conversation. Scammers. Go elsewhere.
30 years since I visited this place , it's had 3 or 4 different names , over the years , a little bit tricky to find , and my intended vehicles , weren't all next to each other , but a decent distance between them all , needed pick up truck bed mounting bolts. Curiously , all 5 trucks had bed liners , and fully loaded with parts. Took my chances with the best condition trucks (2) , and unloaded the beds , and pulled the liners , one truck only had one of the bolts needed , the other wasn't there , so repeated the process on another truck , one of the bolts in that bed , was basically corroded , but I bought that one too , maybe usable incase.
The lot was pretty muddy , bring some rubber boots , or jump to dry spots , if it's been raining heavily , recently.
I forgot the breaker bar at home , but found a strut tower brace , that was a rectangle tube , about 2 1/2 feet long , with open ends , 3 cars away from the truck , and it worked beautifully.
I had a blast , it was 98 degrees , sweating profusely (bring water!) , filthy , and I can't wait to need more parts from there. I need to get better at picking the best candidates , some parts on 29 yr old stuff isn't mint , but usable .
I saved about $80 and got genuine parts , the other available new parts online , were made in China. UMMM , no .
The guy who checked me in , must of been having a rough morning , the guy who cashed me out , was from N.Y. , was cool , efficient , and personable.
If you know what you need , got wrench skills , tools , some patience in sometimes extreme conditions (summer), and don't mind doing some work , make a day of it , it's exciting.
Spent about 90 minutes there.
It's worth the trip.
Their pricing makes no sense. For example dual radiator fan is over 100$ used in who knows what condition and in zone or advanced parts is 10$ more and online even cheaper then on junkyard.
That is not the way to do business.
Wasted my time coming here. They do not keep track of the vehicle parts which are already sold. Their computers show the parts are available on multiple vehicles, so you pay the $3 entry fee only to find the parts are gone. I checked 5 vehicles on the list the clerk printed, and all the listed parts were gone already. I tried informing the desk clerk, and he never took notes on what was already sold. So the next person looking for the same parts will come up empty too after paying the entry fee.
Staff were super helpful and friendly! The price was also awesome for some roof rails for my SUV.
I couldn't have been more satisfied.
Also note, there is a $3 entry fee per person... I got my money's worth :)
I've been going to this yard since the cohper days! I cannot believe the pricing! The reason for a " U pull it" is usually bargains. I needed a camshaft and the cashier charged me for a whole cylinder head. I get the no splitting rule, but charging $349.99 for a used head I have to pull myself is just wrong! And a $24.50 environmental fee on top of it is just insult to injury. I'm done and will never be back! Good luck with your new pricing system.
On Sunday September 17, 2023 I went to Pick Your Part Clearwater.
I located a wheel that I needed.
I took the wheel to the front counter.
I asked how much the wheel was. I was told $53.
I said to the counter lady that is great. I want to buy two of them, but I have to get the other one.
I went back and grabbed the other wheel from the yard.
I brought both of them inside to buy them.
The transaction began but was interrupted by the office manager.
The office manager said she had to refund the transaction because one of the wheels was charged as a steel wheel when both are aluminum wheels.
Also, now she has to charge more for the tires too.
Since the office manager returned the steel wheel I no longer had enough funds on my credit card to cover the new transaction because it takes 3 days for Pick Your Part to process returns.
For this reason I was unable to purchase both wheels. But I was able to buy one of them.
I was told that the counter lady helping was new there. But I do not believe it. I could tell the office staff was hustling me. Why?
Well.... This was not the first time something like this happened to me at the Clearwater Pick Your Part location.
About a year ago I went there to buy a car door. I asked when I got there how much a car door is. I was told the price. But when I worked hours in the sun to retrieve the door and brought it up to the counter the price was more than the original price. Why?
Because I had to pay extra for the mirror and arm rest. Really?
My question is; Why can't your employee's give an honest price? Because these experiences are not accidental. This happens every day to your customers there.
This is just the tip of the iceberg...
Your office staff is awful. Yesterday they ganged up on me. And treated me very mean. No one deserves this kind of abuse. Especially when I was there to buy wheels to help a single mother with children stuck on the side of the road.
You should be ashamed of yourselves!
...Next time I am going on Facebook Marketplace to buy car parts.
Great place for late model parts at good prices. All their inventory of cars with pictures is on the web, so you can see the condition of the car. You can setup alerts for year, make and model and you will get an email or a push message through the mobile app when a car you are interested in comes into the yard. The web and app also show the location of the car and it is easy to find in the yard, they have all the rows numbered. Don't let them charge you extra for a warranty you don't need. They don't tell you they automatically add it in when checking out. If you look at my receipt you will see they charged me $9.90 for a warranty on a piece of molding!
Before you go!
- Need to bring your own tools to take the parts off yourself, they have wheelbarrels and carts in the yard to use for free, but you cannot take them to the parking lot.
- There is a $3 charge to get into the yard and you cannot bring any car parts into the yard, only tools.
- They check your bag on the way out, so don't even try stealing anything!
- All the parts prices are listed on their website, they don't charge by year, make or model - just the type of part.
- There is also an environmental fee charged based on the total of the parts you buy.
- Be sure to decline the warranty if you don't want it. At some point they started automatically adding it, and with the rush to check you out, you may forget.
Clearwater LKQ is the best pick Your Parts out of LKQ I went to the Largo location , the manager there is not very nice to deal with .
But the Clearwater LKQ is so far the best one and very fair in prices .
Great prices. A lot of newer vehicles not all picked clean. Found everything I needed and some bonus items like a factory sub box with a brand new Kicker speaker!! Great score.
Never have decent parts, they charge way 2 much for entry. Ive been going there when the name was cophers and its gone down hill. The only person that actually works there is the soda machine,everyone else stands around doing the least as possible, I stood behind a gentleman for 5 & a half minutes while the one lady helped him the other employee got done doing what he was doing and just stared at me when he could have been helping me. the parts are over priced, weathered, and or dry rotted. I'd rather buy new than go here ever again
