LKQ Purchased a remanufactured engine off Rock Auto from ATK

Purchased a remanufactured engine off Rock Auto from ATK. (Famous Brand engines) . After being installed and used for about a year and 7,000 miles. Engine lost oil pressure. I installed it myself, so I tore it back down myself. Found one out of four cam bearings not installed into the block properly. I had started the warranty claim process prior to disassembling. Was told to remove engine and send back to them, they will determine if it is warrant-able. If not, I would have to pay upwards of $500 to ship my bum engine back to myself totally disassembled. Didn't sound like something I wanted to do, I could for see it not being their fault no matter what if I did that. Was told I can "small parts" repair it and send my parts back to be reimbursed possibly. I have not made it that far yet, however I do not have much hope for that. I have the engine completely torn down, and at a machine shop that I know and trust that has done a lot of work for me before. The cam bearing is not spun, it was never installed properly, causing the camshaft to walk in and out and damage the cam synchronizer and in turn not drive the oil pump. I am paying out of pocket to fix it, also taking my time to do so. If I expected this to happen a year after paying thousands of dollars for this engine, I would have NEVER bought from them. I didn't seem to catch anyone's attention calling in and emailing many times. Contacting rock auto was useless as well. Buyer beware, there are many bad reviews for poor quality re manufacturing and poor customer service, they're all correct. This company is terrible, and does not want to help fix/replace/ pay for their shoddy work.

LKQ If you want to be disrespected and repeatedly hung up on, do business with this company

If you want to be disrespected and repeatedly hung up on, do business with this company. They are courteous until they get your money and once they do, they can't be bothered to assist you. I specifically want to complain about Ray and Sam the manager. Horrible! They should not be in this business! I purchased a used transmission on July 29. I was told by Ray I would receive a $75.00 refund once LKQ picked up my old transmission. I never received the $75.00 credit. I spoke to Evie in accounting. She stated on the invoice, that when the LKQ driver went to pick up my old transmission on July 31 it had been thrown out by someone in MOE'S repair shop, which means I would not be entitled to my $75.00 refund. However, I have a text message from Moe, owner of Moe's repair shop (they installed the transmission I bought from LKQ) on FRIDAY AUGUST 7, at 12:33 p.m. that states "I spoke to Ray. They will pick it up Monday." Translation I AM ENTITLED TO MY $75.00 REFUND. Once, I told Evie head of accounting at LKQ about my text message, she told me she wouldn't go back and forth over such a small amount and she issued me a refund. It is not the dollar amount alone, it is also the principle. I WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF THIS IS SOMETHING THEY DO REGULARLY. KEEP THE CUSTOMER'S OLD PART WITHOUT REFUNDING THE CUSTOMER. DOUBLE PROFITS. VERY DISHONEST! When I tried to explain to SAM that I was never given a receipt with an order number he stated "I would have to go back seven months and I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THAT!" I told him he was very nasty and in this time of COVID he should be nicer. He hung up on me. The corporate office of LKQ should be made aware. I WILL NEVER DO BUSINESS WITH THIS COMPANY EVER AGAIN! IF I WERE ABLE, I WOULD RATE THIS COMPANY ZERO STARS. Deborah J.

LKQ I was treated with no respect and was cheated out of my money by the site manager.

I was treated without respect and was cheated out of my money by the site manager. I have a witness and pictures to share with you. On Friday 5/7 around 2:37, I had a strong disagreement with a young lady who claimed to be the manager. I needed a Hatchback strut and brought my original broken one for comparison. After paying $3, the check-in staff examined my bag and said nothing. I found 3 struts in the yard and took them to checkout. The manager insisted I pay for 4 items, including my broken part. A bystander suggested I only pay for the 3 good ones, but the manager demanded payment for all 4, or I'd get none. I reluctantly agreed to pay to leave. At marking the parts for return, she charged me for the broken one but refused to mark it. This infuriated me. I want a full refund. I'll send pictures of the 4 struts, with only 3 marked, and the receipt showing I was charged for 4 items but only 3 were marked for warranty. My friend witnessed that I had no choice but to agree to her terms to retrieve my original broken part.

LKQ I am very disappointed with my experience with trying to sell my car to LKQ

I am very disappointed with my experience with trying to sell my car to LKQ. I got the quote by calling on Monday March 16. I agreed to the price and was told the earliest they could pick up would be Friday March 20 between 8:30 and 12 (last day of quote since they last 7 days). There was no call or contact that day. I called in and was first told they wouldn't pick up on the last day of the quote. I asked for a manager and spoke to Michael ***. He said the tow truck was broken and they couldn't do pick ups but were "working on it" and may be able to do it by the end of the day. I took of work that day to be available but no one called or ever came to pick it up. I called at the end of the day (Michael *** wouldn't answer - said he wasn't available so I had to speak with another rep) and had to requote and reschedule pick up for Tuesday March 31 btw 8:30 and 12. I had to be at work that day and gave them 3 contact numbers knowing it is hard to reach me at my job at a secure state hospital. They called the first number at 8:32 am when I was in a management meeting and not at my desk. They left a message saying to call back at this number (they didn't leave a number) but the number did not display on caller ID. I called the main LKQ number but they refused to give me the number to the tow truck dispatcher and told me I had to reschedule. I explained the contact issue would be the same on any other day and that's why I provided the additional 2 numbers, one for the mechanic where the car is and my cell. The tow truck company did not try either of the alternate numbers before cancelling my pick up. The main LKQ rep said none of my additional info was even on the quote including the color car and additional instructions although I gave all this on all my calls. I am so irritated and disappointed with this experience. I will never deal with LKQ again and plan to disseminate information on my experience so others are aware. Your company has a great concept but the execution is awful. Why is the company rated A+? Several complaints logged and horrible customer service. They do not do what they say and are unreliable.

LKQ Found this company by a web search for local companies that buy 'junk' cars

Found this company by a web search for local companies that buy 'junk' cars. Turns out it is a huge multi-national publicly traded company.Filled out the online information about the vehicle that I wanted to sell them.Received a price quote on the website which seemed 'fair'. Was contacted by someone via e-mail who sent a list of more detailed questions about the vehicle.Was quoted a slightly lower price than the first one, but I accepted it anyway.Was then contacted by phone by the same person who asked the same questions again, which quickly became annoying. Scheduled a pick-up for the vehicle from a local junkyard, and was contacted by one of their representatives. Was quoted a lower price again, due to 'issues' with the vehicle. Was originally given a choice of three different pick-up times by the online representative, but the actual towing service new nothing about this.Was contacted by a tow truck driver to schedule a pick-up time again, and agreed to a time completely different from the first one that I had scheduled.Waited for the tow truck driver at the agreed time, but he never showed.Received a call from a completely different towing service (two hours later), who said they were 45 minutes away. *** was picked up, and the towing service wanted the *** for the vehicle, but I refused, because they said I would have to drive to LKQ in ***, ., which is 15 miles away, to receive payment. Was contacted by the LKQ ***, . rep. after they received the vehicle, and was told they would pay me $110 less for the vehicle because of damage, and the vehicle wouldn't start (which I had already previously stated to them) and the catalytic converter was not the original. ? Guy on the phone tried to make me feel like I was lucky to get what they were giving me because his boss wanted to pay half of what I was getting. Went and picked up the check, and felt like they were purposely delaying giving it to me, the facility and people there were about 5 times more *** than any *** Shop that I have ever been to. I feel like this is their standard business practice, to bait you with a fair price, and then try to *** you over in the end."

LKQ Absolutely horrible customer service

Absolutely horrible customer service. It is amazing they have on their website a commitment to quality and service. They have a promise of protection. They have Gold standard warranties. Which we bought. They mention they have the highest quality of recycled and aftermarket products with lifetime warranties and which are the best in the country and they stand behind the integrity of their promise with the LKQ parts replacement promise. They mention their employees are in direct contact with customers that provide valuable feedback for quality improvements. Go to their website that is what it has on their website! THEY DO NOT PROVIDE THIS SERVICE AT ALL. We have had a absolutely horrible ordeal with this company. I don't even know where to start. It has gone on for over 4 months! We brought our 1976 Chevy 3 quarter ton truck to Jake's *** to fix our 454 long block motor on June 6, Jakes Auto bought one with a GOLD standard warranty from LKQ and received one a few months later. It took Jake's Auto awhile to get it out because of problems but they did and received one. Jake's got it done on Aug. 26th, 2020. We paid over 6,000 DOLLARS to Jake's *** and drove off. Within 15 miles it broke down. Completely shot and would not run! It was over 90 degree weather and my husband was stuck on the side of a very busy rode until someone could pick him up! (me) As of October 23, LKQ has not done anything but stall. Every single time we call, or Jake from Jake's Auto calls or an employee from Jake's call we all get the run around. They don't have one to replace it. (Someone from LKQ came and picked it up!) They kept saying they don't have parts to fix it. Or they don't have a replacement motor! We never get the same person on the phone. They are not nice with quality customer service. Their was only one time I got a nice person on the phone and his name was Robert and he explained to me some of the things that needed to be done. But that was over a few weeks ago and I have never been able to get him back. They still have not done anything though. They stall, they give us the runaround. They do not keep their promise of quality service. They are mean to us on the phone. One of their employees even hung up one me because I was asking questions about this? SERIOUSLY? Why would they do that! This has gone on for over 2 months (since Aug. 26 that it broke down!). The order # is 6990321. There is an extension #47740 to talk to someone about this order but it is NEVER-EVER the same person answering the phone to work this out. Where is their integrity about this? Where is their promise of protection and service? Where is their experience to integrity, ingenuity and quality that sets them apart from the rest. Why would they be mean to us and stall us this long when we puchased a GOLD STANDARD WARRANTY? Why do they not stand behind their commitment to QUALITY SERVICE.! I do not understand this at all. When you put your trust in a company that puts on their website A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY and a promise of quality and they treat their full paying customers this way is horrible in my opinion. DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY. I would love to have someone look into this since I can not get help on the phone and ALL WE GET (even Jake himself! and his employees!) get the runaround about this motor. Why will someone not take care of this? Why in the world will you not keep your promise of the warranty and provide quality service? I don't expect anything from this complaint because of the service we have received thus far, but at least I can try and warn people about their horrible customer service. Save yourself the trouble do not purchase from this company...

LKQ On March 23 I had purchased a set of four replacement wheels (p/n ALY03636U10) for my 2006 Lincoln Town Car which were remanufactured and

On March 23 I had purchased a set of four replacement wheels (p/n ALY03636U10) for my 2006 Lincoln Town Car which were remanufactured and sold by LKQ. The parts and labor that I paid totaled $948.66. LKQ's documentation represents that this type of wheel is covered by a lifetime warranty against material defects. Last year the metal finish on one of the wheels started bubbling, chipping, and peeling off in chunks due to a manufacturing flaw. In February when I reached out to LKQ, manager *** arranged to timely send a warranty replacement to the shop within two weeks. On July 31, I reached out to Scott again because a second wheel from the set was exhibiting the same defect. In August he indicated that the wheel was sold out, that a replacement could not be made available because they had no buildable cores, and there was no ETA for when they would have it again. I was advised to keep checking back in for availability for the replacement part. Over the past six months I had attempted to reach back out to LKQ, either with no answer or simply being told the part is still not available. On December 21 I sent another email to Scott, where he replied that the situation was the same. In my answer back to him, I notified him that the others in the set were also now exhibiting the same defect at this point in time, and asked if there was a different variant to exchange the whole set out instead. Scott responded back today stating that there is nothing available at all, "it is a common issue for these wheels" and now referred me back to the original shop for resolution. This matter is however outside the shop's warranty, the issue here is LKQ's responsibility under their warranty. By Scott's admission, the business had been selling products for which they are fully aware to knowingly suffer from these defects unbenounced to me, and is now either unable or unwilling to offer me any kind of resolution to honor their warranty obligations to their customer.

LKQ On 9/28/22, I went to the LKQ Self Service Auto Part location ***

On 9/28/22, I went to the LKQ Self Service Auto Part location ***. Upon entering the business I was told I'd need yo pay $3.00 to go look for the parts for my vehicle, although there was no guarantee the two vehicles he'd shown me still had the part I was looking to purchase. Paid the $3.00 and was directed to the rear of the business and approx. location of the vehicles. Finding the parts I needed, I returned to the office whereas the clerk rung up the two items. Without any additional comment she stated a total price of $35.86 which I paid with credit card.When I took the parts to the repair shop that was fixing the car, the guy asked why did I pay for a 90 day warranty for a door panel and gas cap. either they fit or don't. I told him I didn't and he then showed me the receipt. The clerk had placed a warrant charge on each item and had said nothing to me. She never asked if I wanted a parts warranty, just charged it to the price. 9/30/22, I returned to the business and spoke to the staff, who informed me that a warranty charge is applied to all sales unless you tell them not to. Supposedly there is a sign at the cash register that says this and they as employees are not allowed to voice the policy. They can't ask the customer if they want the warrant, they just auto add the cost.I asked for a manager and the person, white male, black hair approx. age 35 confirmed the practice. Said there is a sign over the register and if you watch the register you can see when they add the warranty charge and ask that it be removed.Explained to the manager that that was fraudulent and deceptive behavior for a business as I didn't see any signage, and the clerk never asked, nor told me of a warranty cost. The items purchased were not mechanical and didn't require an operational warranty.Manager stated he understood my complaint, but his system would not allow him to refund the warrant fee. He also said this was a LKQ company policy and practice.

LKQ On May 19, 2022, I ordered a car hood replacement for my Avalon through Carid.com for $428.90

On May 19, 2022, I ordered a car hood replacement for my Avalon through Carid.com for $428.90. The request was processed through LKQ Corp, and Keystone Automotive was the supplier. The order arrived intact, and upon initial inspection, it seemed fine, so I accepted it. However, I later found it was damaged due to insufficient packaging. The hood's corners near the windshield were severely bent. Accompanying paperwork stated the hood should have been shipped on a pallet, but it wasn't. After accepting the delivery, Carid and the shipper denied responsibility. Attempts to contact Keystone Automotive were fruitless as my calls were ignored, leading to no refund. Incredibly, a second hood I ordered from another site, also through LKQ Corp and from Keystone, arrived with similar damage. I refused this delivery and got a refund. Proper packaging with just a bit of foam or bubble wrap could have prevented this, but it wasn't attempted. I resorted to buying a hood from a junkyard after these failures. It's disheartening when a nearly $500 item is carelessly packaged, risking damage during shipping. I'd guess only a 5-10% chance of such a poorly packaged hood arriving undamaged, which seems like a wasteful cycle of spending $4000 to $8000 for defective goods, not to mention the weeks wasted. The damaged hood is still at my home for anyone to inspect.

LKQ I ordered an 4.0 V6 engine from LKQ on 09/11/2022

I ordered an 4.0 V6 engine from LKQ on 09/11/2022. When the engine arrived a little more than a week later, it was not the engine I ordered. It was a 4cyl something. Obviously, not what I ordered so I refused it. I received a call a day or two later to ask me why I refused the shipment. I explained the reason was because it was the incorrect part. I was told that I would have to wait until the part was returned to a warehouse so it could be verified to be incorrect. I asked to kept informed and was told I would be. A few days later I get a voicemail stating that the engine I refused was the the engine I ordered. Not true. (a different story surfaces later) I was told I would be getting a refund and I told them I would rather get the correct engine. I was told that accounting was pushing for a refund. Whatever! Well, after three weeks of back and forth I received a refund check that was less that what I paid. Of course I called them. The reason I got for the difference was because I ordered incorrectly. When I told the person I had the order conformation in front of me I was quickly put on hold. They came back and told me the part was correct and I just refused it. A little background, I've been a mechanic for over 40 years and I can tell if an engine is a V6 or a 4cyl. This company has done everything BUT take responsibility for their mistake. I needed that engine but according to them, I refused it. On what planet does that make sense? I had already ordered parts to adhere to their warranty requirements. BUT I REFUSED THE ENGINE I NEEDED. They're continually trying to make it look like it's my fault. I thought their mission statement said something about providing great customer ***. I have worked with LKQ in the past and they used to be a good company to deal with but unfortunately, something has changed for the worst. I'm still waiting for a call back from management. It's been more than 2 days so I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen. We'll see.

LKQ I would like to describe the Nightmare of an experience I have received working with Allusedparts.com Automotix llc and LKQ who are all

I would like to describe the Nightmare of an experience I have received working with Allusedparts.com Automotix llc and LKQ who are all affiliated. I ordered a transmission online Sat 06/04 and the funds for the transmission were taken from my account. The transmission was listed as a 2012 cvt with all the correct specs for my car. I let my transmission repair guy know who scheduled me in since my car is undrivable at the moment. I called Monday morning to customer *** at allusedparts.com. They confirmed at first it was the correct part and would be shipped but upon checking closer they realized they had inventoried the incorrect part and were shipping out a 2015 non CVT although my receipt and order showed a 2012. The hold time to speak with a rep was at least 30 minutes each time I had to call in. I called back was placed on hold for about 45 minutes the next rep came back told me the order was incorrect and would be canceled. I asked that due to the error someone help me with the situation as now I am out the funds to repair my car and it sets me back even more. The rep said no nothing they can do the order is being canceled. I asked to speak to a higher up for assistance I was told no and the rep hung up the call on me. I called back and waited another *** This whole time I kept my cool and was nothing but nice to the reps on the line. I then researched where the part was coming from which was LKQ out of ***. I researched and reached out to the General Manager *** I called his listed number directly left a voicemail and he returned my call later that day. He was apologetic had me forward an email of my receipt to him directly and then stated he would research into what can be done and would contact me back directly. I have yet to receive a call back. I checked to see if my order had been refunded after days since it was canceled, and I still have yet to

LKQ On May 30, 2022, I purchased a crate motor from jegs.com

On May 30, 2022, I purchased a crate motor from jegs.com for the sum of $4315.00. As it turned out, the motor was built and sold to me by a company known as ATK ENGINES, also associated with LKQ. Having been involved in building, servicing, and diagnosing small block engines for about 25 years, I am well-versed in the critical 'breaking in' process. The motor arrived two weeks later, and I followed the included break-in procedure and warranty details meticulously. After installing the motor and adhering to all guidelines, everything seemed great until the car, with only 450 miles on it, started making a terrible noise at idle. Unable to restart the engine, I suspected a catastrophic failure, something I had never encountered in my career. Following weeks of frustrating customer service interactions, I initiated a warranty claim and sent the motor back to ATK for inspection. Later, a technician informed me that the warranty would not cover the damage due to detonation, suggesting bad gas as a possible cause. This left me puzzled, considering not all engines fail from such an issue.

LKQ On 12/11 I bought an Engine for my 2006 Avalanche from LKQ Corp

On 12/11 I bought an Engine for my 2006 Avalanche from LKQ Corp at their facility. On May 10, the engine failed again, close to where it first failed in 2020. It was replaced for free. Then, on June 2, 2022, that engine failed too! LKQ arranged for the engine to be sent through Auto Zone in Venice, where my mechanic, Aamco Transmissions, is located. Initially, I paid $4,163.15 for engine block removal and replacement because my mechanic required payment to begin work. My truck was effectively held until LKQ paid Aamco after receiving the old engine. I was promised a refund in 2 weeks on Aug. 24, 2022, which I hadn't received by 9/10/22. After the replacement, the new engine had no oil pressure and was deemed faulty. LKQ agreed to pay only $800 of the $4,163.15 labor cost for another replacement and to send another engine, presumably through Auto Zone. The amount for the first engine replacement is unclear, but for the second, I'm expected to cover $3,363.15. My warranty is a 3-year, unlimited mileage with $50 labor reimbursement per hour for approved claims after inspection, which was approved. The first long block replacement is supposed to be free, regardless of the failure reason. My warranty claim number is now WC-XXXXX.

LKQ Transaction uploaded: In-person Date/Time: 04/08/2022 1:08:57 Warranty Charge: $6.90 Weekly store visits

Transaction uploaded: In-person Date/Time: 04/08/2022 1:08:57 Warranty Guarantee: $6.90 We are in the store weekly. For this transaction, I told the new employee 'No Warranty'. The new employee charged me for it anyway and then failed to process the part, as the video cameras will confirm. Attempted to contact store and corporate HQ with no results. Sent email 4/12/22 to LKQ HQ with no results. From: [Redacted] Sent: Tuesday, April 12, 2022 4:53 PM To: [Redacted] Subject: LKQ Pick Your Part Complaint We were charged for the warranty even though we told the cashier NO on the warranty, plus she did not process the part so we can't take it back even if we wanted. The security camera will show that the employee did not handle the part for this transaction. Two problems here but the resolution we want is a refund or credit for the $6.90, please. Additional training needs to be provided to your employees. When you called back, I had just submitted the following text in the Contact US page text box: Complaint #1: Each time I call your customer service number (twice so far) I was immediately placed on hold, the last time for more than 3 minutes. Complaint #2: The phone number on the receipt is not accepting calls from my area code. I have called your customer service line multiple times, given phone numbers to different LKQ Pick your Part locations that do not connect to a person. The last time I called I was put on hold and disconnected. There is no customer service excellence in this experience. Complaint #3: When a customer, retail or otherwise has a complaint, there should be transparency on who to contact for a resolution. Your representatives could only tell me that Pick Your Part is a subsidiary and not a part of LKQ, and there were NO managers to speak with. Entire email attached.

LKQ No Refund

Purchased car airbag from them. Prior to ordering it, I email a photo of the item I would be ordering to the parts person. He emailed back and said they had it. I ordered it and they sent out the wrong part anyway. I sent the part back to them and left messages on the voice mail several times. Then tried to contact the parts supervisor they would not take my calls they all went into voice mail again leaving messages. I called the coprorate offices, same result nobody calls back. This went on for a week. What a company.

LKQ get your stuff together, there is no way this should happen. At least grow a spine and call somebody back. I have never dealt with this kind of customer service from supposedly an established company in my life and I am 55 years old. I wouldn't buy from LKQ now if they were the only source.

LKQ truck driver

I was driving on I 24 in Manchester tn on 4-30 at 6:30am and a truck driver cut me off from the fast lane when he had nobody behind him, nearly hitting the front of my truck .When I came back around to pass him after gaining speed, he threw his hands up as to say oh well, you shouldnt have been in my way. The truck number was 44655 and the last trailer of the dbls he was pulling was 14682.This guy does not need to be driving a truck for Fedex or anyone else if his actions are going to violate safety on the road and I would like him pulled from the job.

I have driven myself for yrs and have never ran into anyone like this guy, pulling over on me with no regard for life never using a signal or anything else to let me know his intentions.
