This used to be great place for getting parts at reasonable prices, but in the last few years, it's…read morethe last place I try. Between Ebay, Rock Auto and Facebook Marketplace, there are much better alternatives that are cheaper and less hassle. Plus, the attitude that the middle age lady cashier has is plain rude, like this is the last place she wants to be, is the best reason to shop elsewhere. She must be related to the owners, because if she treated customers like this any place else, she would have been fired long ago, Most annoying is that the cashier pretty much makes up the prices as you go. Sure there is a list of prices, but they often upcharge for a part. Example, needed a cruise control module. Price shows $37. Cashier insists its a ENGINE CONTROL MODULE and wanted to charge $84. I left without it and bought one on Ebay for $30 shipped. Other time I needed a hood insulator. The thin fabric liner attached to the hood and about the size of a floor mat. A floor mat is $7 but there is no price listed for the hood insulator, so the cashier says, $30. I said no thanks and bought one brand new at the dealer for $42. I was behind a guy checking out and he had a pile of parts. Bumper cover, fender, headlight, radiator core support with radiator, condenser, cooling fans, etc. Total with fees and tax was almost $750! Just a couple of years ago that would have been $300 max. I wanted to go up to him and say he could buy the whole car at a salvage auction for less than that. Another ripoff is an "Environmental Fee." It's about 8% added to the price of the part. They say, This fee ensures that we provide you with a clean and safe working environment while pulling your parts in our yards. So you have to charge a fee to make sure your customers are safe? That's like a supermarket charging an 8% additional fee on groceries to make sure the floors are clean and the lights are working. Geez, what is the $3 admission fee for, then? And lastly, the optional 90 day guaranty is not optional anymore. So the fender that was a reasonable $40 before, if you declined the warranty, is now $68. Why would anyone need a warranty on a fender? Also, if you are a business, they don't accept tax exempt sales, even though I registered with LKQ for that. And there is no number to call to straighten that out. Will be contacting the Comptroller of MD about that. The only positive thing I can say is that they post their inventory online so at least there is a good chance of finding what you need.

Absolute worst auto place around here! My husband and I will never go there again! We went there…read morebecause my cars battery seemed liked it was dying. So we went to get a new battery, they tested it and the machine said the battery was low, so we bought a BRAND NEW BATTERY. The guy who was 'managing' didn't even put the effing battery on right in the first place,(he had no clue what he was doing) and the car wouldnt start at all! then said oh we never even needed a battery, so we put the old battery back it, they test it and said oh it's not your battery it's something else! So your telling me that you read the machine wrong to begin with!? Asses!!! Then it gets better, with the car not starting it all we were stuck in the parking lot, so this awesome manager tell us, oh well there's nothing we can do.., and just leaves us there! I wanted to punch him in his stupid effing face! NEVER AGAIN!!! If it was possible youd get no stars from me you raging jackasses!

Attendant at desk proceeds to offer to sell 3 cans, which he has 5 cases of, for numerous different prices, up to $80 each down to $16.99 a piece. Receipt says $12.99. Attendant is so incompetent he can't find an item, for which I have a receipt, in his system. Waste of precious weekend time. GO ELSEWHERE. You have been warned. Astonishing, shameful experience.

This review is specific to A-1's junkyard at the 1200 Pulaski Highway location…read more The yard itself is relatively small and is bordered by US Route 40 on the west and the Acela train corridor on the east. There is no cost to go onto the lot to examine cars in the "pick your part" section. My current complaint is that A-1 uploads misleading photos to the various junkyard and car-part databases. A-1 apparently photographs a salvage vehicle upon its arrival, when the car looks its best. Then, to move the vehicle into the yard, A-1 utilizes a frontend loader with a fork attachment to pierce the windshield. This results in irreparable damage to the interior (and sometimes other body parts). Naturally, like junkyard catfishing, the car and the interior parts look far worse in person than in their online photographs. To compound the problem, on cars where A-1 has removed the transaxle or engine, A-1 thereafter dumps the half shafts and other tangential parts into the interior of the car (soaking the interior parts with transmission fluid, oil, grease, or all three). A-1 needs to either change its operating procedure or photograph the cars once they are actually in the yard.
