Good morning eBay. The seller doesn’t want to refund of the shipping cost. 527162275 The frame is broken and has no way of being fixed. Actually is as damaged as the one I have to replace. I can’t understand why I have to loose $225 because of your mistake. Please refund $225 as it was seller’s fault. Please kindly help me to get my money back. Thank you.

I went in yesterday I believe it was Randy was so helpful I could not get part off but the fee for them to pull it off was very reasonable and a 90 day warranty I do recommend if you need a hard to find part checking here he even offered me a bottle of water! Worth the drive

I like the fact you can enter and reenter for the one-time fee. The parts are abundant. The folks are courteous, knowledgeable. The waiting time to get in is quicker than you'd think

Went in to pick up a part that goes for $35.00 online for my daughter’s car. Passenger taillight. Had to go out and pull the part, walk back to check out and asked the guy behind the counter how much. He tells us $55.00. I immediately tell my daughter, let’s order it online, she says we’re here and we have the part ready to install. Poor girl paid the $55 bill and walked out. Right before that the guy behind the counter says hey these come with a 90 warranty. I’m like, how the heck does a brake light break? Has no moving parts. We left and went home to install it. While I’m installing it, I ask to see the receipt. The part was $29.99, plus $9.00 for a 90 day warranty and $6.53 for a wiring harness and warranty for that was $1.96 to give us a total of $60.00. What a rip off, sneaking a 90 day warranty without asking the customer if they need or want it. Then charging her twice for warranties because of the 6” socket wires. Won’t happen again. If you are pulling your part, make sure you tell them you don’t want that warranty on that part. Unless of course it is something you might need a warranty on. Also it’s not a flat warranty, I think. It fluctuates based on the value of the items you are buying. If I’m looking for used parts again, I will drive farther to a different junkyard that doesn’t sneak useless warranties onto my bill. Also it was $3 per person to just walk in and pull the part. That is 3 Times what the wagon wheel flea market charged to park. Overall, just a HUGE money grab. I do not recommend this business to anymore. 9/20/24 Response to owner comment: The cashier should have asked if we wanted to spend more money on a non mechanical, no moving part warranty. It’s not the customers job to look for signs “all over”. How hard is it to ask your customer, would you like to add a warranty to these items? I asked him before he rung it up, how much is the part. I was given the price with the warranty, never any other amount. In this current economy, your customers are paying more than ever for groceries and fuel and other necessities. Maybe make it clear to each customer the real price of the part they pulled to save money on, that you won’t add the extra warranty. Money is tight, that’s why we went to a junkyard to save money.

Horrible experience. I don't go to junk yards ever and hope to god I never have to again. My elderly Aunt needed a rim and tire for her car. I was trying to make sure they had it before I wasted time going there. NO way to call them and talk to a person. When I get there, ALL of the workers were very rude and unhappy. Especially the old lady with the cane. They just told me to go out and find the car with row # and space#. The Latin girl asked me if i needed a 4-way. I said, what is a 4-way, she just rolled her eyes and didn't answer me. After paying my admission fee of $3 just to enter, she picked up the 4-way and handed it to me. I said I guess that is a 4-way, "laughing", with no response. I asked where the row # is that they told me to go to and the old lady just pointed out the door and said go to your left. None of them could walk over to the door and point me in right direction and I was only 1 in there. There was 4 of them standing there. But they all made sure to tell me I had 15 minutes because it was 415 and they close at 430. After walking all over to find the row, come to find out it straight in front of the door to the back. Then it gets better. i come back in to pay and their card reader isn't connecting for the transaction, so they move me to next register. On my way home I get notification from my bank about the recent charges and they charged me twice.. What a nightmare experience. NEVER AGAIN.

I've been coming here for years,never seen such a ripped off prices on parts that don't even know if works,seems that they don't care to keep the customers,i paid $2 more than a brand new starter from napa,and any little plugs, even spark plug wires are expensive, it suppose to be a use parts according prices not whatever they want to charge you,is not worth it anymore.

Looked on their website before heading over. Vehicle was in the exact spot as posted.Plenty of wheelbarrows and dollies to use available. Pulled all the parts I needed with relative ease and saved myself over $500. Worth the drive from Lakeland

There phone # will not allow you to talk to anyone. It only hangs up on you when you hit 3 for question on parts. Tried several times and continued to get hung up on.

Called twice and got a recording that ask me to leave my number and someone would text back shortly. I never heard from them but started getting several spam calls. That could be a coincidence but it seems tóo much of a coincidence. From what I've read in other reviews it's just as well that they never got back to me.

Price gouging. Overcharging. cheaper to buy new parts. Even showed the price of new parts compared to their prices multiple times and their reply was "OH Well" Poor character in employees. Ripping people off and they know it. The place shouldn't even be in business.....will be reporting to better Business bureau with proof of price gouging.

This a great place for recycling used auto parts. I've been able to find everything that I've needed when I've gone there. Especially if you have older vehicles 10 to 20 years old and you just want to keep them on the road.

LaDonna Mackover

Perfect place to go pull your own parts and they're relatively cheap to

Very poor customer service the lady in the front real nasty rude and unprofessional and when you try to talk to the manager he get real frustrated and be calling you all names 🤮I really had an extremely bad experience with this location and I don’t recommend any buddy to deal with these management 🤮

jesse whitelaw

This location used to be great. Unfortunately, not anymore. If you come here, odds are the part will be missing or broken even though you check their website and called beforehand. Just to have the guy at the front desk tell you. He can order from a different location for 3 times the price. They have No one that monitors the yard. I watched another customer break a perfectly good door panel in half And another customer cutting out a dash with a sawsall.

I arrived at noon to search for a used part for my vehicle. There were a lot of customers but there was still plenty of parking available. When I came in the door, I was quickly greeted by friendly staff. I mentioned what I was looking for, and that I had never been there before. Staff member briefly and clearly explained the process of entering the yard, and finding parts. The entire yard was mapped out clearly, and easy to navigate. I had a small container with a few tools, that was briefly inspected on my way in, and on my way out, which is customary. Admission to the yard was $3 and is good for the entire day, with proof of payment at entry. At my request, the staff gladly gave me a price for the part that I was searching for, before I went in the yard. Overall, the staff was friendly, the yard was organized, and salvage cars were parked neatly in rows, that were easy to navigate and access. To be well prepared, you can even look at their website, and see what cars they have in the yard that might be compatible with your search. I found this feature to be very useful. I would gladly go to this business again.

sellers beware !!! I sold my vehicle to this location with out of state plates did not think much of it until about a month later I started to receive violations from multiple counties throughout florida from a vehicle driving around florida with my plates on it ! I am a minnesota resident after filling a police report with florida and my local p.d. they jokingly said at the pinnelas p.d. haha happens all the time the scrapyard sold your plates hense why the plate number etc is not listed on the LKQ bill of sale I received the current outcome being aprox $800 in now owed toll and traffic violations submitted all my paperwork 30+ days ago to florida violations and still no resolution and seems still the expectation of me is just have to eat it and pay the violations first time for me and I have bought and sold 100s of vehicle's in my lifetime never something this messy expensive and valuable lesson learned ! wish I would have known this was a thing !

The LKQ pick your part yards used to be great places to buy used parts. The parts prices were reasonable and you got a free 30 day warranty on parts. That's all changed in the past year. The prices on many parts have doubled or tripled and now you have to pay for a warranty on a part that may or may not work when you get it home. On many items , they've raised their prices so high that you might as well just buy NEW parts online for practically the same price. I've been a customer of these junkyards for over 20 years and it's sad what they've become now.

This used to be my go to place for used LS parts. Not anymore. Prices have gone completely out of control. $350 a PIECE for cylinder heads that I need to pull myself? Get real. Just a couple of years ago you could get a whole entire motor from this place for about that price, and still can at the competition.

Mark Chopping

I’ve been here a few times and always found some great parts. Prices are very fair and the staff are always friendly. I’d recommend checking it out. Always new cars coming in and I enjoy coming there to get parts.

Worst business I’ve ever seen. Long story short: No phones, inaccurate website, just to get you in the door and make you pay a fee to walk out empty handed. They don’t take phone calls to discuss if parts are still on the lot or pricing on anything. So you have to waste time and gas to drive there and walk through the lot and look yourself. The online portal has in accurate parts and I didn’t see pricing for parts I was looking for. Just to go in and check the lot to see if your part is there you have to pay $3. I do all of this just to find out the part I needed wasn’t there. All I get was an “awe.” Not a “I’m sorry to hear that, we will update our system so it doesn’t happen to someone else” or anything.

Staff was helpful and professional, drastically better customer service than the Clearwater location. Got all the parts I needed for both of my cars for a fraction of the normal price. The vehicle selection is not great but it’s decent…& you can set alerts on their website for when the makes and models saved in your account come in. I recommend this spot for sure!

They were very helpful. Even with a little hiccup mainly to my ignorance of their SOP, they used their best judgment and treated me very fairly.

Avoid this place if at all possible. Was told I needed to spend more money to get a 90 day warrantee which turned out to be useless when I decided I did not want the part anymore the very next day. Prices are significantly higher than competitors even before the 90 day warrantee scam. There are plenty of other junkyards with better prices, better policies, and more importantly, better employees. Be warned.

1. They don’t take inbound calls(not even to talk to a manager) 2. You call their number and expect to talk to a person and it tells you to go online then it hangs up on you. 3. I bought a transfer case but I detached the electronics from the transfer case to insure it doesn’t break while transporting, so they charged me for each item. The guy at the counter said he doesn’t set the prices and he’s only there for a check.(way to go employee, no wonder they need help) his attitude toward his job shows how much he cares. I wouldn’t shop here if I could help it. Go somewhere else. Anywhere else.

That chick on the phone was SO rude. First of all I couldn't even hear what she was saying. Second of all she wouldn't explain nothing to me she was just annoyed by me calling. Rude rude rude. I'll go somewhere else thanks. P.S I was able to get more for my vehicle from neighboring companies so thanks for being rude I wasn't going to call any other companies so it worked out better for me!!!!!!! 0 STAR

Extremely disappointed with LKQ and their new return policy. Be smart with your money and buy used elsewhere. Between all their fees most of their stuff cost less anywhere else. They do not inventory or test anything in their yard. Nothing you buy here comes with a standard guarantee so if you waste your time pulling a part and what you purchase ends up being faulty they will not exchange or return it unless you spend about 30% more and buy their 90 warranty. At that point you’re better off just buying your part from a reputable salvage yard that pulls the part for you and gives you a standard 30 day warranty. They sell used batteries for about $50 when you can literally pick up a brand new one at Walmart for about the same. Be smart with your time and money and use the same device your reading this review from to order your parts online or browse pricing. Car-part.com is good for that.

Wow what a joke. Good luck talking to a person on the phone. Finally did get someone and oh boy I can pay 2x what the part costs new and pull it from their yard. I thought the whole reason places like this existed was to provide affordable parts for those willing to do the work, not gouge the working man because they're losing money on poor management

R

Rami Mikhail

Very helpful staff for a novice like me. They looked up compatible part years and even printed me a map with the isle and row numbers of where the cars are. I got exactly what I needed and almost half price compared to another yard (not pick your own parts) in same town. I'm so glad I gave it a try and picked my own parts.

if you want to speak to somebody press 2 when you call when it asks if you are calling to sell a car. anything else hangs up on you cause i guess they only care about making money off their cars. i called to ask how much a part was and she said she can’t even look it up anymore! how can you be an employee and not know anything about the parts you are selling? i don’t really blame her cause it’s the way the company makes the computer system but this is next level trash

It was my first time there and I explained that I needed a little help. I told the attendant that I found two cars that might have what I need when I looked at their website. He helped me sign in and pay the 3 dollar entrance fee. He then explained how the map worked with the rows marked on the first car of each row. I followed his instructions and easily found the cars I was looking for. I found the exact part on the second car. I took it back in to the attendant's desk and paid for my part. It was quick, easy, and cheap. I will definitely be back. Their hours are great, even open on Saturday and Sunday.
