You would think they will have more open windows if they know the weekend is more busier than usualThey increased their admission fee from 3$ to 5$ not like they are 2x their prices on parts this was the place to go for easy oem parts but it s starting to feel eBay or FB market place is less of a hassle nowadays. You can tell they are getting more greedy

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. Also they have a extra section inside. Listed as PRIMO AUTO. It's another lot inside and you gave to pay an extra $2 to get in there on top of the $3 you pay to enter. 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 90 day warranty. You better tell them first because they will automatically charge you for it. They have wheel barrels available if you need to move big items. Also have engine hoist for pulling motors. Porto potties out on the yard. No more give your phone number and get points for discounts. Parking lot is big. They have food truck and others selling stuff in the parking lot. Also out front on the street.

Beware all the parts you pull off these cars you can buy online for way less. I took my friend here today to get him a bumper off a 2001 Lexus RX300 they wanted $168 for it. We found it online for $120 "NEW"! So basically they get idiots like us to take the parts off the cars give us a ridiculous high price and if you don't want it they just sell all the parts we scavenged for them online themselves. I just went to their website and saw the exact bumper we took off for sale. Crooks! Now you know. Avoid this place it's a scam 100%. Oh and I hope you like to go swimming for parts half of the parking lot is underwater half the year. Lol

Why do they charge almost double when they raise the entrance..? It's a little bit frustrated when you have to fill up orders from some customers, and this guy's doesn't even update their inventory, I waste 3 hours trying to get at least 1 thing on my list, and I totally lost time. Other than that, the crew is very nice, the place is clean compared with other places.

I needed to repair or replace one of the two cylinder heads on my vehicle. I searched and located the engine and disassembled half the motor to get to the part that I needed. When I went to go pay for it originally it was $99.00 plus tax and environmental fees and other additional costs ,came to a total of $130.00. I was $20 short so I went and hid the part to come back a few days later to buy it. When I took the part up to the window to purchase the cylinder head with no camshafts or additional parts on it, they told me $420.00 !! And that wasn't including the environmental fees, tax and other additional charges!!Needless to say I didn't buy the cylinder head but instead went online to eBay and purchased a complete cylinder head with valves and camshafts completely cleaned, torqued to the right specs, and compression tested with free shipping included for a total of $140.00It seems like LKQ pick your part is beginning to monopolize the used auto parts market and price gouge their inventory. For this product review and overall shopping experience , I give it a rating of * 1 out of 5 stars *.

Price is now 5 bucks to get in and there prices really increased dramatically and be sure to ask for no guarantee if you dont want warranty that is! They wont tell you and automatically charge you an extra 5 something for a 90 day return. Depending on what it is it's worth it but regardless it's worth mentioning does not everyone reads the signs , or whats posted online. And thiers always a long tine they need 1 or 2 more people working for check out and it will help alot. Also i I thought it was Pick Your Parts I went to go get a gauge cluster but I only needed the clear plastic part and they didn't let me buy it I had to buy the whole thing which was over $100 so I spent over an hour taking it out for nothing which I don't understand it's Pick Your Parts I picked that item and I don't understand why they couldn't sell it to me just that peace sucks! Now for a fact that part will never be sold cus it's left in the front and no 1s gunna take the time 2 see were that came from so makes no sense whats the point just sell me the dam part so thats why im leaving 2 stars

Ok so I love the thought of pick a part and I have them on my phone so I get notifications when they have a car in there yard I might be interested in. With that being said I got notifications on a datsun in there yard and so I went down there. 1.5 hrs away but because datsun parts are hard to come by I decided to go. 3.00 to get in ...not happy about it but okay. They after 3 hrs of working on pulling off parts I go to the cashier and they over charged me and there was a security guard behind me that had a 2 way radio he was talking to the lady behind the glass. They spoke a language I didn't understand and I was very tired and it was hot and I am not use to being in the sun for this long so I just wanted to get out of there. So I get charged for things I didn't get and when i was going out they checked my cart and saw that they charged me for parts and hoses that were cut and at the end of the day i was too tired to fight about it or to go back to the lady behind the glass that i couldn't hear and they taxes on the 3.00 to get in. That's not right. I wish I could have got to this vehicle before it went to puck a part as I paid more for the parts that I took then they paid for the whole car...sad days. Very sad days

workers LKQ Sun Valley California order the towing of customers' cars for non-existent reasons while you buy parts from their junkyard. Get ready to pay for returning the car after paying for the parts. I have a photo of a parking space where can see the absence of any markings, which makes the evacuation illegal. while I bought $170 worth of parts, I received another $485 check for towing, lost time, and ruined day off.

One simple word...... thief's is what these crooks are. They refuse to refund you the 90 day warranty if you kept the part, they charged all types of ridiculous fees. parts are now cheaper if you buy them at the dealership, then coming to this place full of money hungry vultures. They could ve have kept my $200 in warranties, but when I go and destroy major parts of a lot of cars let s see who really lost.

A great place to scavenge parts.Well organized and inventory is accurate and promptly updated on their website.Chem toilets are clean and hand washing stations well stocked.Paved yard is much nicer than other similar businesses.Even their taco truck (CASH ONLY) had good food at a decent price.

Just a heads up expensive unnecessary warranty charge, luckily this is my second time coming to a LKQ Pick Your Parts, I remembered from last time they charged ridiculous warranty without saying anything for each part and it adds up. Good thing I remembered, warranty not worth it. Other than that, I like they offer customers an online account where I was able to add different cars to my "garage" and get alerts immediately once any are in one of their yards, that's pretty cool.

Beware on rain this place has flooded lanes and management has no time to highlight areas before entry would be nice to get a head up I ask for a specific roll before entry and had to come right back when asked staff she simply answered you can go buy some rain boots and come right back I find it insulting the place and areas over a foot flooded 3stars go based on overall pick your parts but shady on this location not to mention anything before entry

Everything it s become so expensive inside this place you in when you have to take you don t park do all the work the parts are most expensive than ever not worth it anymore. I used to love this place .

Sad that under new Management, this place has lost its touch. It's a shame that their personnel are such A Holes. Especially at the exit, as one of their employees has a power Trip and makes you feel like a criminal. Coming here for many years I wanted to teach my girls how to do things on their own. But I'll definitely be going elsewhere...SMH

This is the second time that I have been to this location and the vehicle that I was looking for that was posted for the start of the day was not in its location at the start of the day.Furthermore I sent one of my team members back to the location to retrieve a part from a Buick karma I asked him to speak with the manager as to why the price is almost as much as it is being new, but the lady was very obnoxious and rude. She's the manager of the place and she would be the last person I would want a customer to speak to with her attitude today dealing with the customer in person and dealing with me on the phone when I questioned her about the questionable price of the particular item I was sending my t member back to purchase. Undercover boss would definitely be well suited for this location to see how rude some of the staff members could actually be.

Shop at your own risk paid $21 dollars for a lamp assembly that later I found is $18.59 at Amazon (NEW)!!! Minus the head ache of you going and removing yourself. Crazy Prices!!

I almost always find what I need. If not at one location,then the next one. The Sun Valley location needs to repave the parking lot. It is in terrible condition.

My Husband and I had just arrived and I was singing in while the security, possibly a manger and another Worker were all having an argument with a customer.They looked over at my husband and began to start arguing with him for no reason.They did not allow us to go inside. They told us to leave.Taking their anger out on another customer that didn t do anything to them is Very unprofessional.

Worst pick n pull I've ever been too. Nothing is labeled. They got armed security. Trash and glass everywhere. Even in the common areas. DO NOT waist your time there. They bark orders with microphones because nothing is labeled. I got yelled are for looking at a few trucks that I guess weren't for sale in any way. I looked around the trucks NOTHING IS LABELED. Don't even bother.

Bait and switch operation. I held up 3 plastic snaps and two slide locking mechanisms as well as a headlight, she scanned the headlight then told me my total, which I paid. As I walked out to have my receipt checked they said I didn t pay for the small parts. I went back to have her put the parts I purchased on the receipt and she says each piece for the headlight is $7.50 and each small snap is $4.50. I reminded her I had shown the parts and she acknowledged that I had them. This is a total scam and I ll be contacting the BBB to investigate this place since it has gone so down hill over the years.

I exchanged words with the black security guard. He was talking to me like I'm a kid so I called him out. He didn't wanna get faded. But as I was leaving he was chasing my car screaming I get off at 6. The message here is just cause you have a gun, don't mean your a tuff guy.

LKQ Pick Your Part is hands down the best, besides fair prices, it's convenient, always a blast walking the lot. If you're junking your vehicle? Call LKQ they pay top dollar for your junker. I did my own research before choosing. LKQ not only pays the highest, but what they payed me for my junker blew my mind. I've been going to LKQ Pick Your Part way before I can drive, I still continue to go there and as long as they exist I will only go there. LKQ ROCKS!
