This place used to be reasonable. They have started to nickle and dime customers with the mandatory entrance fee and mandatory part insurance. It's nice to have their app because it tells you where the car is located but prices are getting high enough where it pays to look around other at other junk yards for parts that you do not have to remove yourself. I checked my receipt when I arrived home and I was charged a 2 dollar core charge for a plastic valve cover. They also included another $2.13 environmental fee. Shouldn't they pay me $2.13 because they won't have to put it in the landfill? read more

SELLING A CAR OR TRUCK TO THEM ***** ALERT FRAUD **** they buy your car or truck they issue a check and then when you go to Bank of America to cash the check they say it's up to a 4 hour wait to cash the check as they need to authorize the check that you already surrendered your car or truck to them and the auto salvage doesn't tell you this as it's a scheme to play with your money after they take possession of the vehicle.... Not good business beware and ask questions whats your stop them from canceling the check the work around go to Walmart and pay the fee to cash it there !!!!! read more

Place used to be good a couple years back but now it's basically Nickle and dime pricing. For some of the prices I can grab an oem new part for not much more at this rate. Won't be coming back here sadly read more

DO NOT COME HERE!! You are better off sourcing out your own parts. Firstly, there is a mandatory entrance fee which is ridiculous because whose time are you wasting besides your own? But I could get over that if the prices were somewhat reasonable. I came in for something as simple as a timing belt cover, I came here to SAVE money but somehow they wanted to charge me $36 which is MORE THAN WHAT A BRAND NEW ONE WOULD COST. I could find an aftermarket part for $18 and a GENUINE Volvo timing belt cover for $31. Which is still lower than what they wanted. That is absolutely insane especially considering the quality of the cover... avoid this place at all costs. This is exactly why I steal parts from them, because they are already shamelessly trying to steal from people who hardly have money to begin with. Why else would someone come to the junkyard if they're not trying to save money... read more

Do not fucking junk your cars here they are a scam and will tell you one price and get there to change another price when I told the lady on the phone about the car issues but she never took down about the catalytic converter issue and due to that I was like with a small change amount for the vehicle DO NOT SELL HERE read more

Went there to pick up a window regulator for my Kia optima. Was in there about an hour, paid for my part and went to my car. When I started my car I noticed my low gas light was on. I thought this was odd because I filled my car up the previous day and I had a full tank when I arrived at pick a part. Well I looked at my gas tank door, which was locked, and it had pry marks around it. So guess what, some thief from there siphoned about $75 worth of gas from my car! I will NEVER go back to that place again! read more

I drove over an hour to get to this location to get tires on their tire sale day. I had five tires and this wad the first time that I was there until close. Their PA system was broken and they sent two of their employees to get people. Not once did their employees say that pick a part was closing nor did they ask people to move to the checkout. So when I saw an employee and they said, "Come on guys, let's go."; I bring brought the wheels and tires to the front to be dismounted. When I got in line, the tire machine was still going and the lights were on. I even talked to the employee working the tire machine and told him what happened. I got to the front and the employee at the tire machine was gone. The lights were off. The guy at the counter said that they cut the power at 5pm. I just wanted to pay for the 5 tires and the 5 dismount fees. He said in order to pick these up, I had to pay for the tires and the wheels with the warranties in order to drive an hour or so home and and your back to return the wheels and get the tires dismounted. They didn't offer a rain check or any paperwork allowing me to come back the next day and still pay the tire sale price. I had to leave the tires. They could have done better, that could have turned the power back on, they could have done many other things, but they didn't. There are better yards out there. I'm not sure if I'll return to this one. read more

This is down the block. I go to recycling center next door but rarely here. Searching for Toyota parts and we scored because we located one truckand it had the exact part!! No sandals or open shoe Porter potty restrooms. Goodluck! Sign in.. take your toolbox and don't forget a cart or wheelbarrow. Then you're in, oil and cars everywhere you look. I learned cars are not group by model or make. They're dumped row by row. There is an app available that will tell you if they have what you need, when it dropped and lot location. The highlight We came on Monday Madness..(see pic) My Lucky day because on the premises there is a Taco truck..... and 97.9 La Raza was there. Raffles and Free TACOS..

cashiers want to charge me triple the listed price on website. it looks like they have same mode of operation at wilmington and sun valley locations. this happened to ME at this 3 locations. false advertisement. greedy! read more

This is one of my hubby's favorite businesses. He's been to this location more than once and feels that the service is good. Ive been with him to other locations so I decided to tag along. This location is very organized and neat. It's a get what you can find sort of thing. Their online inventory only shows which cars are there so it is a risk with driving down there and finding the actual part that you need. They give warranties with the car parts but it isnt necessary. This is a decision in my opinion that should be made before you go to the cashier's window because some would put a warranty on your part without asking you first. Cesaer was the one that helped my husband checkout and he was very polite and professional. read more

I have been a customer of LKQ for many years already and It has helped me a lot in restoring my old cars for an affordable price. Until recently, I noticed that LKQ has introduced a 90 day "OPTIONAL" guarantee in all parts purchases. The alleged "optional" guarantee is added automatically to the part price without letting the client know. If you find out about the guarantee after you pay and you request for the removal of the guarantee the cashiers refuse to deduct the guarantee fee which is ridiculous. In my opinion they are STEALING money from their customers. In addition, if you tell them to remove the guarantee fee before you pay as I did today they argue that the system does not allow them to remove the fee which forces you as a customer to pay for a guarantee against your will. So please be careful with the alleged "OPTIONAL GUARANTEE" is a SCAM. read more

This is the best place ever. You pay three dollar fee to go in and take anything you want from any car. Look up the prices on their website to make sure that they have what you need. I was looking for a car that was supposed to be in a certain space but it wasn't. I spent 20 minutes looking for it. Luckily, I was able to find a similar model car and part of which I was looking for. read more

Needed to go and see if I could find parts for a motorcycle. Their selection is trash. Come to find out they have if not pretty close to over 100 motorcycles of different shapes and sizes behind a barricade that says employees only. Asked a manager (female who claims she's the only manager) that they move the bikes out every week or so. Head back almost a month later the size behind the barricade basically has doubled and no one has moved them. Thought that place likes making money? Will update pics later read more

This place just ripped off my 16 year old son. He bought bed rails for his truck. Was not offered, told about (or forced to buy) the 90 day guarantee add on. Even though the website says it's included in every purchase. Never left the parking lot and found they didn't fit. Brought them right back in and they would not return them. Very rude and said "too bad kid" Not a great experience for his first time doing this by himself and spending his own hard earned money. Also said he could not enter wearing sandals. Which is understandable but the "Yard Rules" clearly say "closed toe shoes highly recommended " not required. He went and bought a pair of shoes locally, spending more of his own money, since he drove from so far away. 0 stars if possible!! read more

My daughter ran into my excursion back tail light with her solaras passenger side mirror ( rookie driver). Anyways always wanted to look around and see what the pick a part has to offer.

On Monday in Wilmington, same company LKQ, casings (tires) are $8.00 ea. Here the good ones taken off and a fortune is charged for them.$220.00 a set minus wheels. They also paint the good ones still on the lot and leave locks on them & leave them on the ground. No jacks! What a rip off. Either you are a junk or a used tire shop. Which is it? You advertise one price for the tires, but the ones worth buying are marked ridiculously high. That is bait & switch, illegal in California and you will be reported. (There was no license visible stating that this is a used tire dealer) read more

Pick Your Part - Santa Fe Springs - Casings or tires that are $8.00 ea. @ Wilm. $200 here - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Santa Fe Springs, California

One of the worst junk yards in Southern California. Huge parking lot. You pay $3 for entrance. The vehicle selection for foreign cars are plentiful. Vehicle selection for American (Ford, GM, CHRYSLER) is poor. Dont come here for American vehicles. Chances are it will be gutted by the time you get here. Cashiers are dishonest thieves. If you do not state the type of part that you have (or the type of part is not on their price list), cashiers will overcharge you for random shit. Example, if you have a navigation screen, they will probably charge you for radio cd player $25.87 and radio amplifier $25.87. So make sure that you know what the hell you pulled and the type of part is on the list. Go to the lkq website and download entire price list or download lkq app. Otherwise they will arbitrarily charge you for anything. Example inside door handle is inside door handle on the parts price list and it is currently $4.99. But if you dont pay attention, they will charge you for outside door handle, which is $10.99. They like to overcharge you for shit you dont have. Also, be aware that they will always charge you the highest tiered pricing (the g1 g2 g3 bullshit). Example, if you buy a mirror, it is priced at $5.31 for g-2 to $15.62 for g-5. Rest assured that you will pay the highest price for that shit, no matter what size it is. Last but not least, if you drop a tool (or any other personal belonging that has your identification and contact info) or mistakenly leave the shit in your cart and right in front of cashier's sight (or someone behind you) and in front of surveillance camera, dont expect anyone to flag you down before you leave. Even if some honest person turns over your lost tool, lost wallet, etc to the guards or cashier, the guards or cashier will take your shit home and keep it for themselves. There is no lost and found. You will not get your shit back, even if it clearly has your contact information written all over it and someone saw you drop it, etc. They will steal your shit. So be careful! Most motherfuckers who work here or pull parts are thieves. Even if you leave your cart next to a vehicle that you are working on, and you are not in plain sight, a random thief will come by and go threw your tools. Shit happened to me. I was about to beat the fuck out of the thief. He claimed he didn't speak English. Some people come here with no tools. Then they will beg you to use your shit. Kindness is weakness here. Dont let anyone touch your shit. They may have covid. They may break your tool. Just say hell no!!!! Last but not least, the mask mandate for covid 19 is not fully enforced. Thieves come through with a t shirt pulled over their mouth, just to get in. Most punks walk around with mask on their chin. Coming here will put you at risk for covid 19. Fuck this place. I will never go back to this dump. read more

Depending on who get that day as a cashier,they'll either allow you to remove the "optional" 90-day guarantee that they default to charging you without asking,or they will say that it's automatic,tough luck,so sad, BUT if you REALLY don't want it, you can just get a refund after that make you buy it, BUT you can't do so the same day, and you can only return the "optional" 90-day guarantee for a refund within 7 days. It gets to a point with the hassle,the extra charges, and crappy service along that you're better off buying used online. Is the couple of bucks saved worth one driving out to this place and pulling the parts yourself worth it? Maybe ONLY if I needed a spare part right away instead of waiting for shipping now. Oh yeah,and they mark the crap out of whatever you're buying these days so factor in the time to clean that off if that matters to you read more

This is a very shady business!! My car was stolen about 8 months ago. I received a call from the Whittier Police station they said my car was smashed and no one notified police until after they did this. They won't call me back and let me know what's going on. I'm going to be taking them to court to try to recoup my money. They are running an illegal chop shop. read more

Needed to replace the power seat switch in my 29 year old Cadillac. Checked eBay and the prices started around $40 and went up from there. Checked the LKQ website and there were 2 similar cars at the Santa Fe Springs location. Their price was $13.50. The domestic cars are all the way in the back. There's a much larger selection of import cars. The ground is very oily compared to other LKQs I've been to. The only bad part was the cashier line. The line snaked around the first row of cars with about 30-40 people waiting. There's a vending machine with water and sodas for 75 cents. I put in money for a soda and it gave me 3. Score! read more

Absolute bullshit. Literally thieves, would leave zero stars if I could. We visited with the intention of looking for seats for our truck and accidentally left OUR OWN car jack in the tool bag that we took inside. We thought it would be okay considering that they check your tools before entering but they lied and insisted that the jack was stolen. It was confiscated, said it needed a receipt, and they called my husband a thief. I contacted their corporate email and had zero response for a week. I bet this is how they make their money, considering the lack of parts in the lot. Don't waste your time unless you like exposing yourself to a hazardous dump and a bunch of lying thieves. They also seem to be deleting one star reviews so let's see if anyone ever sees this. Terrible place, had really changed over the years. read more

Recently went to go look for a part for my car and was so upset with the price hikes on every parts and even the price increase of the entrance that went from $3 to $5 these guys are out of there mind and cars so beat up and some times it's just a waste of time oh I almost forgot and then they pay people a low amount when people try to sell their car there. read more

This particular P-A-P has been here since the 1970's and yes, it's very sloppily run and the ground is _FILTHY_, be sure to wear spare old shoes and change them when you come out or your vehicle _WILL_ suffer, even if it has plastic floor mats . The selection is very good here, it tends to lean towards older low income types of vehicles, plenty of pickup trucks and the occasional jeep along with many impounded cars that still have plenty of good parts to offer . No one there knows nor cares anything about cars, they all work for minimum wage so don't get excited, just find what you need and go for it . If you don't know what you're doing this IS NOT THE PLACE FOR YOU ! . -Nate read more

Parts are crazy for the prices they want. A tailgate they want 150 dollars when it was 50 dollars before. The young girl at the office where they sell parts was rude. I was asking her specific Part prices and she kept saying look at the screen. I have a reading disorder and she did not care one bit. I would not waste my time here anymore read more

Great place to walk around in oil and find what you need. I found everything I needed and it was cheaper then quoted.

Four on them stars (for not being sure if I was being accused of something) So, this place has a humongous parking lot. It's $3 to get in. Their inventory seems pretty organized. I believe they have numbered rows. Not quite sure if they went down to the very last rows but you can also find car/parts you're looking for on the website, along with prices + when the cars arrived. I've never seen too many people where the lines are ridiculous. They rang me up quickly. Ms. Yessenia (hope I spelled your name right) Is the one who rang me up. Hope she didn't think I was stealing (LOL!) Because she asked me more than twice if I'm sure that's all I had. Me being me, i asked her if she wanted to search me. Told her I didn't mind & then said maybe I'm not sure if that's all I had I was just trying to be funny-flirty. Not sure why haha but she ended up being super cool. I had a good amount of things so when I was putting my change and wallet back in my pocket, I said plastic is fine, as if she asked me the paper or plastic question. Luckily she had a bag that day I'll def be going back. It's fun. It's cheaper!! read more

This is the closest place from our place that accepted State (BAR) Retirement Program. From our phone interaction, we really want to avoid this place, as they sounded unhelpful, and went to answering machine almost everytime. When we arrived, to our surprise, the security guard was very nice and helpful. The process was very easy and there was no line. The processing staff could be a tiny bit nicer, but no complain here. It was very effective and pleasant overall. read more

was looking for a door, fender and bumper for my Prius. got the door off and got to the cashier and he says 250. the door was advertised as 85 online. finally after I take off the mirror the speakers and the handle, waive the return policy I get out of there for 90 bucks. plus the 3 you have to pay to get in. Unfortunately someone already got the fender. I think they may have pulled it for someone because I got there the day after it was listed on their website. the cashiers seem very shady. I'm sure they have to deal with some real knuckleheads but the whole operation seems like your typical auto repair shop. meaning borderline crooks. make sure you tell them to waive the warranty. unless you really need it. also there is no way to check and see if parts are already sold. so you may drive and hour and spend 3 bucks for nothing. the yards have really changed over the years. wish I could find a small family owned one instead of this craptastic company that ownes 30 salvage yards read more

Would give ZERO stars if I could. This place used to be great but now it's horrendous. The prices and inventory online are not accurate. There's always huge puddles of water that makes vehicles inaccessible. But mostly the prices are WAY too high. It's generally cheaper to get parts used from Craigslist or marketplace now days. And you don't have to deal with the "not my problem" attitude of the workers. Some parts are actually cheaper brand new than what they are charging and the price they quits over the phone has always been lower than when you get to the yard. Sometimes double! Place sucks now read more
