Overpriced parts, terrible service, add insurance without consent even for things that don't need. All the extra charges easily double advertised prices on the web. They charge an entry fee and then pretend to give it back on the receipt. It's an accounting scam so they don't have to report it during tax time. Total crooks. Plan to report them to the BBB and other state agencies and maybe even the IRS. A class action suit should be filed for all the customers they've ripped off. read more

Got a truck liner out of a pick up, had a hard time carrying it by myself to the check out. And, of course, even though I brought my own tools, should have brought some more sockets and a power driver. So, bring more tools than you think you will need. When I got to the check out (after dragging that truck liner for about 8 rows), a gentleman said: "do you need some help?"....well, yes. After I purchased it, they were kind and loaded it into my trailer. Best thing about the whole experience. A Duraliner for $20.00. Just can't beat that price. Those truck liners retail for $200.00 read more

Está más caro que auto partes cobran el doble cuidado y todavía manejamos asta acá perdemos tiempo quitando la parte algo de 15 me salió en 45 y luego te revisan asta los calzones read more

The place is a bit overpriced for the quality of some of the stuff but what really made me upset is that on my way out after making a purchase the "guard" that was checking my receipt tried pulling me by the tool bag to inspect it without asking me first. I don't care what the procedure is you don't pull another man by the bag without asking first. Youngster had an attitude like he couldn't understand the concept of respect.where was he brought up? read more

Foremost, this place is not visible on Peck Road. You need to go thru a 2 way curvy alley-like entrance. It is accessed on Peck Road. But you have to look for the sign. Once you get to parking lot, you will see parked food vendors, etc. This was my first time visiting this place. Now I hate this place. Its not worth the travel. No matter what anyone says about this being a junk yard. You can accept what you want. I wont. I have been to most southern cali junk yards. This one is plain bad: Foremost, there is loose gravel every where. Although they have stolen shopping carts every where. It is difficult to roll them over all those loose rocks. I can imagine its difficult to do some serious pulling from underneath the vehicles. Secondly, I came here due to a list of vehicles that were available a day prior. This was on their official website. When I arrived, those vehicles were dated weeks b4 they were posted on website. I know this because the dates are marked on al vehicles. Thus, all the good stuff was gone. The vehicles were completely gutted. I came here for nothing. They do not get new vehicles every day. Check their website. Look at pics of vehicles they just got. Come the same day or next day and everything is gone (engine, trans, suspension, lights, mirrors....all the way down to emblems). Although they do have an ok selection of domestic vehicles. I was frustrated trying to push shopping cart through this place. Too many loose rocks. Also, the WORKERS do not clean up behind patrons. I understand that patrons make a big mess when they pull parts. But that big mess is every where. Every aisle is full of debris. You have to move heavy and light part debris out the way if you are going down an aisle. Its good they do not blood suck patrons by having a so-called primo lot like a lot of lkq places have. But thats the only good about this place. For the people who say this place is huge and one needs a map. Well, if you go to their official website, you will see a color coded map. The color codes separate trucks, imports, gm vehicles, ford vehicles, and chrysler vehicles. Its not accurate in terms of make. But it helps you not get lost. For those who get surprised by non tier pricing (flat rat pricing). All you need to do is go on their website. They have pricing for everything. Just make sure you know exactly what you are buying. Dont just go to cashier and show them part. Some times they dont know what you got. So they will either upcharge or downcharge for something close to what you got. Other times they know what you got. But they will upcharge for something similar. Especially if what you got is cheaper. There are dishonest cashiers and good ones. But more dishonest. So pay attention. Also, a quick note about tier pricing: Its pretty much a level pricing for an item. There are no rules to this. Its not about size, condition, color, vehicle, etc. There is no regulation. Tier charge is pretty much decided by cashier. When you pull a part that has tier pricing (headlights, tail lights, etc), make sure you set your highest price b4 u make it to cashier. That way you can tell them u dont want it if it exceeds your highest price. When they charge you, make sure you know which price they charged (g1, g2....all the way to g7). The highest number after "g" is the highest leveled charge. At any any rate, all of this info (full parts price list, map of yard) is readily available on their website. Its up to you to access it. They like ignorant buyers. Its easy to take advantage of them. What you dont know may hurt you. At any rate, I will never return here. read more

Everything was good until checking out. The front cashier started making his own prices and charged me for the wrong parts. We had 20% off but the cashier refused to honor it? For this reason, you'll get just 1 Star Could have saved me bucks! read more

The prices posted online do not match with that the cashiers are charging, not sure if the employees are over charging and pocketing the rest. But they tried charging me x2-x3 over what the part costed NEW!! One sensor was almost double the price I was quoted at the DEALER!.. I used to always come here when I was younger to find budget parts for my cars, those days are long gone. Unless you want to over pay and waste your time also taking the parts off so they can charge you whatever price they were feeling at the moment. People should just stop coming here. read more

Needed a used 15" decorative wheel for my Ford Explorer, I never liked the way the standard steel spare wheel looks after having to switch out a flat. Before going to LKQ I checked online for competitive prices. LKQ's prices and selection beat everything hands down ! And being able to see the piece in person was the icing on the cake. The place is vast, hot, dusty and grimy, but what do you expect for a junkyard ! Dress accordingly, bring your own tools and a bottle of water. Bring some gloves too. And maybe even a small dolly or wheeled push cart. The place had loads of Explorer parts and even complete vehicles. I had several picks to choose from. And the day I was there salvaging for wheels happened to fall on a special 40% off discount day. I walked out of there with not one but two 15" oval slotted aluminum wheels( one mounted on a good tire& one wheel only) for a Ford Explorer and a hard to find original interior piece... total cost $62.00 Getting in costs $3,,, small price to pay to peruse such a large assortment of vehicle parts. I will definitely be back ! read more

If you are looking to get rid of a clunker, this business paid me more than 600% than what a dealer had offered me. Obviously, your miles or percentage may vary. And as long as your don't expect the red carpet treatment at the junkyard, no frills, no free drinks or water, no coffee, or balloons or a clown as you would a dealer....this was well worth the time. The people were nice, they didn't expect YOU to know how to do THEIR JOB, they were very helpful with paperwork, ...sometimes you go to a place and they rattle off buzz words that they have been using for 15 years.....and if you don't know they lingo, they get annoyed - but not this place - they were nice!!! this place was a good place to give up your clunker. read more

Super affordable parts! I was ripped off at other parts places before finding out about LKQ. Unbelievable prices. Organized and was a fun experience overall as well. Thank you read more

Hours say 7:30- 5:00pm when you call. When you show up, their lazy butts don't open until 9:30am while they are just standing around chatting, as the line builds outside waiting. On top of that, they are just rude or grumpy for no reason- they all must be having a bad life, not a bad day. :( Sign says no kids under 16 WITHOUT supervision. I tried bringing my son in with me who is 5 and very well behaved, to help me look for one simple part and they wouldn't let him in. They tried to blame the sign but in the end they were just rude about it. He loves cars too so he was bummed. Annoyed. read more

I called to sell them my moms old van ! The van had brand new tires which had less than 100 miles on them . I got a quote from them if I dropped van off they offered me 675 for a complete van . When I arrived the guy started pin pointing bad things on van and said he was going to have to deduct the price on van . I was so mad I told him never mind I'll just take it home. I just sold it for $1200 . Do your homework people dont let this people rip you off ! read more

Although the selection here has gotten gradually worse over the years, LKQ is still my go to spot for used parts for my 84 Volvo and my 87 Dodge van. Let's face it, trying to keep up supply with the massive population of the LA area is a hard thing to do. Most cars are thoroughly picked over, but I still usually find what I am looking for. $3 admission is on the high end. It used to be $2. The prices vary significantly for the actual parts. If you're like me and love wrenching around old beaters, this is the place for you. You also never know what may show up. I have had first dibs on some 70's vans before and walked out with some treasures. read more

I am only giving 2 stars because I found what I needed. I am from the East coast & perhaps this is a West coast thing but $3 to enter a junk yard?? Should be free! It's like entering a storefront. Regardless there prices are on the high side. I paid $65 for a beat tire and rim for a 98 Jeep Cherokee. I don't know if I would go back here, I think I could have got a rim & new tire off the net for maybe a little more... and it would have been new. I think I would only go here for something very unique you could not find online. Not sure anything else is worth the effort it takes to get in here pay a fee and do the work yourself. Save your time and money and look on eBay. read more

these crooks automatically add warranty fees to every purchase! Check your receipt to make sure you refuse the "optional" warranty fees. This will be my last visit to LKQ read more

I had a good experience with LKQ because of the person at the 'holdings' sector, Fernando! I got my moms old car retired here through the BAR program. It was very quick and easy to make an appointment through the operator. On the day we were supposed to bring in the car, our car did not start and had to be jumped. We got to the appointment late and the appointment representative was a bit stern about us not making to the appointment on time, but it was reasonable. I'd like to thank Fernando for being patient and kind to my mother and I and explaining to us the process of how the car is retired. He told us the car needed to be able to start on it's own to pass the program for us to sell it for $1000-$1500. We got the battery to be replaced, brought the car back, did the paperwork, and were on our way out with our check. The employees there were direct and helpful. Goodbye to our old car~ read more

I m OK with this salvage yard that u can pick your part from cars available for inventory check on their web site. Except that it was a big hassle just to return the core of something u picked n replaced on your vehicle. Was told to wait for everyone in line to get through the gate before they can allow me in because of some "core return paper work." If the line is long, it could b a long wait under the hot sun! Poor customer service in this respect treating your customers like this when they just need to return the core n get a few bucks back. And when you get a refund for the core, they don't even return you the sales tax charged for the core value. Was told by the cashier that they don't ever refund the sales tax charged for the core for decades! Maybe the Franchise Tax Board of CA shoud consider auditing them for this and their cash collection at the gate... read more

Reading these reviews makes me think that not too many people know what to expect when entering a junk yard. As a man who has been to countless junkyards in between Southern California and northwest Washington, I'd like to add my $0.02. This is a great junk yard. They have long hours which is always appreciated for do-it-yourselfers. This place is pretty big, which is also good. So big that they have port-o-potties all over, which is also appreciated for those jobs that take a long time! They have the yard organized roughly by country of origin, and then car make. It's quite easy to find the car you need. Every vehicle is set up on steel posts to make underbody access easy. They get new cars every day, so the variety is always changing, which is great when you are trying to find a certain part. They have hand wash stations, a nice touch that a lot of yards don't have. An amazing taco truck sits outside the gate, a god send on long, hot days Now the reason I only give 4 stars: - $2.00 admission is an annoyance, and they only accept cash for this. - Prices on some parts could be more fair, but they are willing to barter if you aren't shy - they do not have a catalogue of their inventory, but based on the size of this yard and the rate they get new vehicles in, expecting an accurate and complete catalogue is a lot to expect. Junkyard hunting is fun, though not for everyone. Overall I recommend this yard. If you're willing to go to a junk yard at all, this one is a pretty good example. read more

Pro's: -Closest junkyard to Pasadena -Good selection of eighties and nineties imports (what I was looking for) -Well organized -Staff is pretty nice Con's: -Expensive. Got a turn signal switch for $18, plus $2 admission. The same part was available online (granted OEM replacement) for $36.18 shipped brand new at stockwiseauto.com. Or I could have found the exact same part on ebay, used, for $20 shipped it turns out. So, not really worth the hour of time I spent trolling through the yard... -Couldn't find the driver's side window regulator I needed after looking in about 15 examples of the same model. -Didn't check my toolbox on the way out (not that it mattered) read more

Before I decided to come here, I called this place to see whether they had a 2002 Saturn L200, which they said they did. I drove all the way from LA then picked up my mechanic friend in Glendale to see whether this place had the car to get this part. Long story short-No car, no part. It's like finding a needle in a haystack. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME coming here!!!!!! You pay $3 per person and get nothing but stress, frustration, and wasting your time. read more

It's the place you wanna go to ...thank you Chris so much for your help and putting the time to find me the right part You made my day easier ! Brando read more

Went for the first time looking for a hood for my car and found one with no issues. You have to take your own tools and remove parts yourself but they have wheelbarrows or carts to help you push the big stuff. Also it's very organized which I liked, the area, row, and space of the car you're looking for are accurate with their website. I'd definitely go again. read more

First time looking for parts and they made it so easy for me. But they have a sign that they will gladly help u if ur disabled,well guess what? That sign is there just for show. They didn't want to help me get stuff. Oh well, I'll have someone else help me :( read more

Thank you to all the staff and shout out to Richard who came out on Sunday to pick up my junk car ! The process was quick and easy and I was happy with what they offered me and I would certainly recommend it to anyone interested in selling a junk car! I also shopped at their Arcadia location in the past and found the part I needed for my Honda Civic. Thanks again RichardTake care read more

This place is wack! All the the putas in there don't know shit I called for a quote and they said $165 pick up and $200 drivein then I called a week later and they said $115 to pick up and $165 drive in like suck my balls! Took my yonke to alpha st got $500 to drive in so all y'all trying to junk don't drive it in drive it in to alpha and they will buy your yonke . read more

This place really needs to check their prices on some items. I brought up an evaporator from a 2000 Accord, since I was getting a bumper anyways and it was right there. The inner bumper 50 bucks, and they wanted 50 bucks with tax for a used evaporator. I went on Amazon and got a new evaporator for $45, and inner bumper for $37, shipped to my house. They are living in a pre global market past. Check online first, new is probably cheaper. read more

This place sucks. All the cars are beat up and have no salvageable parts. It's more a dump than a junk yard. Do not come here! read more

One star is what I'm giving. Why? First because this place is a car cementary, which I don't know why they charge so much for a part that is used already and some of the parts are way off the price from buying a new one. Plus they charge for warranty and core. In my opinion is not an auto part like AutoZone, Pepboys or Oreilly's were they charge for a core. Then they have a secuty on the entrance that acts like a sheriff. I guess is better to buy parts on eBay, there more cheaper and have warranties and new parts. read more

So again, this review is just for selling a junker, but I dropped my Jetta off with these people with no complaints. I think I got $300 -- I don't really remember anymore -- but it wouldn't smog, it needed as much as $10K in repairs according to my mechanic, and I was just done. I had to wait quite a while, 45 minutes probably. Again, I have no idea what it's like to buy parts from these people, but it's an easy way to get scrap value for a car. read more

this is my go to junkyard, they have so many hondas there, the prices are fine, there are many imports and a bit less domestics, I have got so many parts for my car in great condition, I would suggest to take a back pack to carry your tools , and REALLY important take water and a hat because it gets hot !!!!!!!!! read more

Pick Your Part - Monrovia - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Monrovia, California

Place is fun, easy and affordable. Every time I find what I need and the staff is helpful.

The scammers here will try to charge you $20 extra for worn out tires on a rim unless you pay their hacks to remove the tire and damage the rim with their truck tire breaker and pry bars. None of the other LQK yards I've bought wheels from have tied to pull this garbage. One even refused to dismount tires from low profile wheels because they aren't dumbasses like the workers here and know they would mangle an aluminum rim. Don't waste your time or your $3 coming here. Update 5/5/18 Still a garbage salvage yard. All their online inventory is posted a week late or more. If you're looking for a specific car, by the time you get there it will have been stripped of all good parts. Repeat; do not waste your time or money going to this yard. read more

This place would be ok but they dont have what they advertise and frankly, theyre a little bit pricey. Besides, they had two, count em two, 70s rancheros and they got rid of em! Why? Those cars are getting rare you rtards! I wasnt done stripping them yet! God i hate you! read more

Employees are on they bosses dick hahaha taking job so serious like if they get paid $25 an hour

Seriously?! What a piece of shit of a place. They DON'T keep inventory, and you have to pay admission to WALK AROUND that hell-hole? You've gotta be kidding. First, not a single soul in there speaks English, and those who do, don't give enough shit to talk to you. The person at the front was a dipshit, and noone else was there to help. We laughed at the fact that you have to pay an admission fee in order to WALK AROUND and test your luck of finding what was once a car, but is in no longer a recognizable shape. They are disarranged, people picking around... looks like vultures had settled on dead prey. Couldn't believe it!!! NASTY people, NASTY place, NASTY EVERYTHING about it. Avoid this shit-hole like the plague, God forbid you step on some piece of metal and get AIDS from there, or something (after signing the No Liability Contract AND paying to disgrace yourself enough to be there). Ohhhh, and after all, if you are the kind who wins lotteries and would find a piece of useful junk at the place, you have to pay nearly the same amount as it would cost at a nice place where they will deliver it to you in good condition, still in bubble wrap. read more

Unfortunately all of these previously-independent pick-a-part and pull-a-part yards in the Los Angeles area have been purchased by LKQ, the price-gouging company. I went online and saw the price of a used seat is $39.99 (up $10 from last year). I went to the yard, got lucky and found exactly one possibility, fought it out of the car, and when I got to the window the price was $70 (plus environmental fees and taxes). You see, they charged me for the power motors IN the seat, which came from the factory IN the seat. To get them out I'd have to disassemble the bottom of the seat. For $70 I could've just gone to craigslist and not taken the seat out, myself, and probably gotten a better seat. And yes, it would've come with the power motors. In addition to higher prices and sneaky pricing, the yards now have cars closer together, are less maintained, and not as well organized. One advantage? It's now not as crowded as people learn to go elsewhere. read more

This yard used to be A1 until the greedy LKQ bought them out 2 years or so ago and promptly proceeded to eff the place up with high prices. LKQ is bad news. They themselves pre-pick useful parts BEFORE the car is released to the public for picking so that they can sell it on their own website. read more
