Max was extremely helpful with my novice questions during my first visit! Place seems like I remember junk yards! No complaints!

I've found some parts and some hard to find parts at this yard for my vehicles in order to pass smog test and to keep my trucks running. Some old parts you'll find once and never find again. I've noticed there are a few regular guys (Mexican and Jamaican) that are in the yard everyday pulling engines out of Toyota's and Nissan's and they aren't shy about doing it while you're working on the same car. Guys here don't have a sense for good judgment or courtesy when someone else is working on a car, it's dog eat dog mentality here. But no sense getting into a fight, you just have to stay cool and go with the culture. The website is not kept up to date, it's always days behind so when you do see your vehicle and go to the yard, somebody has already taken the part you want or the part is totally junk. Timing is not a strong point of the website. Sometimes the cashiers over charge by saying "that's the closest description to the part you're buying" when actually their is a accurate description and lower price for the part you're buying. No doubt intentionally done by the cashier. The culture at this yard is what it is and it won't change. You need to stay cool and have some luck when you go to Monrovia yard. read more

Once again LKQ is successful in failure... Sad they haven't been bought out by smart owners. Failed to answer a phone call. Lol! You guys and girls are a bunch of lazy underworked more than likely over paid morons. Hey if you guys ever need an idea because I get the feeling you people don't come across any of those for the most part, give me a holler I got some of those! Ask somebody people you guys need help but not trying to sound condescending though I may come off that way when I stay straight telling the truth. Peace! read more

I went in looking to scavenge a few parts off some 90's jeeps they had listed on the website inventory. I only found one of the two parts I was looking for as the specs of the vehicles they had in the yard didn't exactly match mine, but I had gone in expecting that to be the case anyway. Everyone I interacted with who worked at the yard was kind. $4 and change for an air intake hose that cost $50 new elsewhere. Add on the $3 admission fee and it was still a very fair price. Will definitely be going back in the future. read more

Don't sell your vehicle to these people. We came the day after the quote and were given a different amount. Asked why and they said because the price is only good for the day of the quote. Showed them that i had recorded the call and that at no time did they state that they just said the prices change daily. Will never sell another vehicle to them. Seller beware. Ask for name of person and rush down here the same day if you must make the tragic mistake of doing business with them. read more

Well where do i begin about this yard and the Ontario yard; they need to keep updated inventory online , the previous owners had better prices ; then i found that PAP got bought out by LKQ , FML!!! so the prices went up! , then they have days when they set up classic cars for part out. but they don't update the website at all constantly; i currently am restoring a 63 galaxie 500 2 door sedan. this place needs a lot of major improvements, i only found out about the other classics from word of mouth by a fellow gearhead.. read more

The old white man who inspects all the stuff you buy is pretty picky. He wants every penny for everything he sees. Probably thw worst pick a part. I've been to. I'm willing to drive to another one even though I live 5 mins away so they atleast treat you better. read more

This is my playground I go there atleast 7 times a month sometimes more depends on what kind of build i got going on. Being a genuine Honda Motorsport Builder im often looking for different things depending of what im building another thing is that I live down the street from here maybe like 3 miles away and work 1/2 a mile from here I stop by alot just too see what I come across. Very good prices and high selection of cars. If your ever looking for an oem replacement part for your car I highly recomend this place. With a $2 dollar cover charge and bringing your own tools you will save some money on what you are looking for. They also sell complete running cars if your looking for a lil daily driver for decent price. read more

It's unfortunate that LKQ adopts such a flimflam approach to operating a business. Why an up to date, interlinked inventory of vehicles at their various yards isn't kept online is mind boggling - especially classic vehicles. The Monrovia facility actually has a large stock of classic cars, but potential buyers have no way of discovering them unless they routinely visit the location on the off-chance their make, model and year have been put out to be picked over. read more

These people really are pieces of work. Customer service or anything close to it is not in their vocabulary. I just suggest if you go through these guys that you have plenty of time and patience. Good luck with them. I believe you'll need it. read more

Things seem alot different at this yard. New staff doesn't act dumb and upcharge you anymore. Plus they got rid of that annoying chick at the window . read more

Unfortunately this location has really gone downhill in the last couple of years. The selection of cars is pretty good. Prices have really gone up and like others say they charge you for parts that should be included as an assembly. Another ripoff is charging a core charge on almost everything. Today I got a Honda subframe and they charged me a core charge! That is almost unethical!! read more

Honestly this is the best junk yard. The cars are where the app says they are and it makes it easier to find the car you need. It is very spacious which helps when you borrow the wheel barrel they lend. They also have portable sinks to wash your hand after! read more

Well I wanna make this clear & precise - this rating is strictly for the YARD & NOT the supposed customer service number... Luis @ the yard & Daniel I think it is @ the yard were amazing!!! I was going to come all the way from Hermosa Beach to there yard for a card they had listed and the horrible 800 # wouldn't transfer me to the yard so I could check only the color of the dam car... thats all I wanted to know & I got so much crap it was ridiculous & all that lady, Marelda I think her name was is inhibit sales for ALL the yards because she is so unfriendly & very very horrible at customer service... Pathetic at best I will say... Luis & Daniel - class acts I have to admit... and the yard - pretty organized for it being a pick & pull yard... If you come expecting anything else your in for a rude awakening...dont bitch about it GO TO PEP BOYS & PAY FULL PRICE then maybe you'll be happy but I saved a ton of money going here today and I cant tell you how much I appreciate there help BUT NOT the customer service line - there still horrible... Luis & Daniel - hands down cool cats - look them up when you get there cause the customer service hag won't give you there # OR let you through on the telephone line... I WILL GO BACK TO THIS LOCATION.... read more

Leave info to salvage a vehicle. A lady call back to ask twice do I really need a quote. What on earth I go thru all trouble if I don't want a quote. I had to say fine, if you don't want to give a quote then let it be. I don't think they want any business. Save your time for serious company that just do the job. read more

Bad customer service. They treat you very poorly and make sarcastic remarks. This place is just a place where you can get junk parts like anywhere else but they do not offer assistance when you really need it and they offer crappy service. I came here because I need a tire rim for my 2008 Yaris and I had a flat tire about a week ago. That day I was going to Costco to get my new tires. The dealership sells them for 135 each and it is cheaper to get one from a used car parts junkyard. I came here on Saturday to look for one. The security guards in the front were unhelpful when it came to answering questions on where to go. The warranty here also sucks since once you buy it you cannot return it. The online chat service does not help either considering the fact that they do not keep track of inventory. How the fuck do you expect customers if you do not keep track of inventory? It is like going to Costco and trying to get a laptop and they say, sorry, we do not know if we have any. They are a bunch of lazy bums who seek easy money. Do not spend your time here if you can. They charge 3 bucks just to enter when other junkyards do not even charge an entry fee. They will not help you when you need it and they require you to bring your own tools just to get parts. And do not try chatting with customer service especially since they are fucking lazy to look up something for you. read more

thank GOD! for LKQ pick or own parts i am 100% sure all the other guy's would agree! with me!. long story short' i am a happy customer! always the other day i had a price part issue. when i called customer service i didn't wait long to speak to someone. they took note of my issue! to have someone get back with me A.S.A.P. while they investigate my issue's it turns out i was wrong! and they were right!. i was good with there conclusion they did the right thing by being fair game. let me tell you its all about manager 'Lester' at the Monrovia location in ca. i love this guy! he is all about being on top of taking care of customers. his is a great listener, with patience's, and he also resolves issue's quick and fair at least in my case he did. one other thing i have been shopping LKQ for over 10 years and i never hear of bad remarks from other customers either. only in America... love America she is a beautiful......... to me! read more

Pick Your Part - Monrovia - LOVE MY MINI... - Auto Parts & Supplies Near Me - Monrovia, California

been here about 5 times people are unfriendly even the ones who dont speak english. usually have 3 to 4 bmw always stripped down for the most part, there have been times that cars that were on the inventory list were not actually there. never actually find what i am looking for but come across stuff to keep as surplus. I give them 2 stars one of them cause its close to me. read more

It's $3 bucks entrance fee now instead of $2 bucks. I like the info listed on their website what vehicles they have in their yard saving you time and the $3 bucks. read more

Pick-A-Part is about like all of the other self-serve auto salvage yards in the area -- a small admission fee just to walk in, you bring your own tools and you remove parts you want from the junk vehicles. Most of these yards will provide certain specialty tools if you need them (such as engine hoists). No, they don't keep track of what cars they have in the yard, and if your vehicle is less than 12 years old good luck trying to find the same model to pull parts from at ANY of the self-serve yards. These kinds of places are typically filthy and somewhat hazardous, not recommended for anyone who isn't at least a halfway decent shade-tree mechanic and intimately familiar with the vehicle(s) he wants parts for. If you're a hot chick from Pasadena who's never gotten greasy and perhaps a bit bloody working on your own car to save some money, stay away please! IMO these places could do a LOT more business if they would set up an inventory system and have at least one full-time staffer to keep track of vehicle make and models that arrive (and on what dates) for parts salvage, and when they go off to the shredder, and keep that info posted online. They already mark the cars' years and makes in paint-marker on the sheet metal as they arrive, so it wouldn't take much more effort. You'd still be taking a gamble if there's only a small number of cars for the part you need, and if they've been there a while, but at least you'd save yourself a trip if they don't have any cars that fit your needs. read more

Tons of variety of different cars , prices can be a bit lower though . Definitely my go to place

what a waste of time . in the past years i have spent tens of thousands of dollars here at this particular yard ( i buy ad sell), the prices have definetely gone up alot . 3 dollars to get in , enviremental fees , taxes , recycling fee plus eveything has a an extra core charge sometimes you actually pay more in fees than you will on a part.i'm surprised lkq has not been sued by the government for it's parts monopoly, they recently bought all of the competition ie; ecology auto parts pick a part , pick your part , u pick u save and countless other self served yards that helped the consumer with conpetitive prices, now that there is no competition LKQ has raised its prices and its admission charge.and They no longer have the 1/2 off sales, they lowered it to 40% and its less frequent.if this isnt a monopoly i dont know what is , i know its illegal and the government doesn't like it,especially here in California. the only way to get a deal is to talk to luis ,he's the only big tall mexican with sun glasses in the yard , he will hook you up but you have to be discreete ,he will take cash only , you will not get a receipt. if the white guy is there he cant hook you up. hes crosseyeded, dont be scared when he takes off his glasses. overall this yard is not what it once was , you should avoid at all costs and check ebay or craigslist for better prices. The only way to get an ok deal is if you are a Veteran but that discount has been slashed aswell , it use to be 20 not its been reduced ro 15% . read more

from what i've read about lko it sounds like they will be going out of business soon because the the public will not stand for lko price gouging. this is not the same pick-a-part we've known for the last 30 years .... do not use lko pick a part you can get better deal elsewhere ! read more

This is the first wrecker I've been to in LA, so I don't have much to compare to, but it seems fine as these things go. The staff at the gate seemed a bit grumpy, but the cashier was helpful enough. The cars were only roughly organized, but I think that's pretty much par for the course; and they seemed to have a fair selection, especially if you're looking for something relatively common. read more

I've been to this yard and their other in Fontana many times over the last few months. Was just there last week. Their prices are fairly in tune with some other yards but I do agree that their prices on some things is far too expensive. But when you've got an old car and you really need a part you do what you gotta do. It's really beneficial that they put their inventory online. Has saved me a lot of time, money and gas traveling around to find my particular model. The $2 admission is kinda BS especially when you're buying a bunch of parts AND THEN when you do buy parts you actually have to pay tax on your admission! Freaking CA. But like I said I've gone here quite a bit and it's really convenient that the inventory is on their site. Just know that they do not keep cars at either facility for long so if you've got an older car like I do and it shows up in their inventory get over to the yard immediately cause after two weeks that car is likely to be gone and crushed. read more

I have been buying parts for over 20 years and assumed that the environmental fee was a state or federal thing (Which it is) BUT at now Pick Your Part "LKQ" is fraudulently charging their own tax...I just got ripped off for a $48 environmental fee for a motor and tranny and they charged more than on their website and double on one item. They are completely out of control. And it's not posted that the environmental fee is for them not the state which some cashiers claimed, but I asked manager "Mel" at the Chula Vista location and he said that they are collecting it for them. WOW. I hope they get audited and / or sued. I have been buying from them for my Job. They have been ripping everyone off under false pretense. I normally am easy going but it's been getting worse and LKQ is now a Monopoly world wide. I have thousands of dollars in receipts and if it is illegal they might have to pay a fine per offense... read more

The guy crying about rudeness needs shut the hell up, Its a junk yard, this is not church. Go to a dealer where you will pay triple or more. Complain about the pricing, if anything. yes, I think its alittle on the expensive side, since you have to pull the part yourself, but hey,what can you do? Its a corporation. The prices will go up even more if they have a customer greeters like walmart. ok, Hassan? Tuff it out, then get over it, read more
