I really contemplated on posting this review because normally the experience here is good, however today it was just terrible. I just can't believe the service I received from the cashier today!!! After sweating to get up to the 3rd level, I pulled a part that took some time to remove (not easy). When I got to the cashier it was a girl that I have never seen there before. She was the one with a large birth mark on her face. After an exhausting part pull I went to her at the register (she was the only one), and she began to start arguing with me about what part I had. It was amusing that she didn't even know what I had anyhow as she kept scrolling through her computer trying to figure it out for 5 minutes. Note, I have purchased this same part multiple times over the year at this location, with different cashiers. She claimed the lock actuator I had was a "chassis control computer!" No way in the world does this little actuator motor with a single 3/8" connector be classified as a chassis computer! It doesn't control anything, it actually gets told by a computer to lock or unlock it's motor actuator! I kindly explained how it functions and she didn't believe the ASE master technician I am. She began her belittling attitude, then I kindly asked to confirm with the other gentlemen there (one that's a manager (Juan), and the other that's a normal cashier (which has worked in the Nissan Parts dept. for many years, this being a Nissan part he always knows exactly what it is). She said nobody's available. Then to my surprise, she began to belittle the other cashiers, and the knowledgeable male cashier I normally see. She stated that they Did Not Know what the part was, and that I was always undercharged. Hmmm...very interesting, because I forgot to mention the other Female cashiers charge the same as the Men too. Between the terrible customer service, and her not knowing what the part was, I left the part on the counter and walked away exhausted. Go ahead and recycle it off as scrap metal, because I was about to buy it for what it's worth. Overall this Female cashier needs to be trained on customer service, parts identification, and to simply be able to uphold the reputation of the company by not talking down fellow "More Experienced" employees. Belittling customers is one thing, but to belittle your fellow employees really makes me not want to go back! read more

They want to charge for imaginary parts. I removed 2 ac hoses I cut the centers out because I wanted to install new hoses at home and the person at the check out wanted to charge me for 4 AC hoses. She then said "Let me just charge for 3 AC hoses" and asks me to pay $75 for 4 hose ends, I ask her "Couldn't you charge for 2 hoses" she said "no". I said "ok I am not buying anything then" and left. This junkyard also has 3 levels and they used to have a trolley to take you up but they stopped it. It has gone down hill. read more

I have a SUV worth at least $900.00. The girl on phone(whom can't comprehend English very well) ask me over and over again the same questions her final offer to me about my car is: we can pay you $320.00 and then she says For towing your car here $ 380.00 towing ! ????? WTF! You can guess how insulting that was! F--k that greedy place and I have been doing $$$ business with them for decades. NO MORE)!. read more

We went here today to get a part and was told at the gate by one girl, it could take up to a week for them to pull it. I mentioned I needed it tomorrow as I was schedule with my Mechanic, and had been trying to call the direct location all week. I asked for direct numbers here to call and was given two numbers that did not work. Went to speak to the cashier as instructed and was told they could actually pull it today but at 1pm/a little after (currently 11:15 am) it was confirmed over the radio by the cashier and the guy in the yard. Told them we drove a distance and was told they would call us! Paid! Waited around the area (their phones don't work so can't even call for an update) came back close to 1600 (cancelled a later appointment) and was told "I don't know why they said that... it will be 3days!! Waste of time!! Immediately Asked for my refund of $100+ read more

EXCELLENT!!! LKQ at 3760 Pyrite Street in Riverside is the BEST! It is extremely organized and easy to find the car you need to pull your part from. Agent Cisco checked us through and he told us exactly where to find the two cars we needed to look at. The cars were already jacked-up so you can easily get the parts you need. When we came to the front counter with our parts, Representative Bevenice Ramirez was so helpful in letting us know the price for our pulled-parts. Such great prices. When we were walking out with our parts for our car, Agent Tyler asked us if we got everything we needed. And yes we did. We are so happy. Everyone who works at LKQ Pick Your Part - Riverside are "rock stars". Thank you, Richard and DebraJoy :) read more

They don't honor pricing for car parts. Not even if you show them what online app says. And it's almost impossible to talk to management. There's not even a direct line to contact the actual locations. Phone number shown online basically directs you to call center if you want to sell your car. Very unfortunate they take advantage of people. The only positive thing is basically they have auto parts one needs. read more

Highly overpriced. Nothing compared to what is used to be before LKQ bought Pick Your Part. You now pay $5 just to walk in. I found a broken front grille for a 2002 Toyota I was considering to glue up even tough it was also missing the emblem. I need to drive the car for work and was willing to repair the grille and do the repaint process. They wanted $79 for a broken piece of plastic that will otherwise be scrapped for pennies! Or I could get it $15 cheaper if I didn't pay the 90 day return fee I found it aftermarket OEM for $95 at Amazon with free no hazle return guarantee. I found the same grille also at IPULL YOU PULL Pomona for $34 dollars with 60 day return for free! After 35 years of using Pick Your Part I'm disappointed they are no longer an option for me. They've become too greedy and no longer an option for the little people like me who live pay check to paycheck. read more

I came here specifically to warn you to be prepared to walk up a steep hill to get to most of the cars. I saw a previous post that mentioned there used to be a tram? There was no tram as of 5/7/22... I found what I needed and had no issues. The website is pretty good in listing the available cars and letting you know what row to look for. read more

Pick Your Part - Riverside - View from the second level. There's a third level of cars. It's steeper than it looks. - Car Dealers Near Me - Riverside, California

This place is absolute garbage they have the manager at the cashier desk like he's a bouncer. I checked the prices before I went to get what I needed when I got to cashier they started saying certain things on my part were separate prices How when it's one piece ? I asked to see the policy on what they were claiming bouncer / manager got upset cashier said we were calling him a liar in front of the manager when nothing was said about anyone being a liar. I will never go to this place ever again. read more

For some older cars, the only place to get discontinued parts are junk yards. This one runs a scam. I paid for warranty on my parts. Have reciept. Have parts. They won't allow returns 3 days into the 90 day warranty effectively stealing around $50 because THEY didn't place paint on the parts, but didn't explain that THE WARRANTY YOU PIAD FOR DOESN'T COUNT WITHOUT THE PAINT. So why isn't the paint placed on all parts with warranty when you pay? Fuck you for stealing from customers. read more

This was my 3rd time at this location. First two times left empty handed. Found something I really needed this time. I knew how much it will cost before going to the cashier. Always check the pricing first people. I told her I got a standard passenger side mirror. After about a minute she said, "21.50." I said how much is tax? How did you charge me that much? She try to say that it's a power mirror. We got into a short heated argument. I asked if someone can confirm. She called a male cashier next to her. Dude didn't even bother looking at the mirror, he just start yelling at me with blood boiling face. I asked a yard worker behind me and he gave me a blank look. The female cashier yelled to a yard worker named, "Ozzy." He confirmed and said it's manual, not power. Thank you! Not sure if it's ignorant or just want to cheat customer by a few dollars. Dude shut his mouth up and didn't say anything. My mirror was only 12.55, not over 20. read more

Pick Your Part - Riverside - We need expertise, not falsies. Always check your price first people, don't let these crooks rip you off. - Car Dealers Near Me - Riverside, California

See all

This place is horrible! They nickel and dime you on everything. Sometimes the part comes out to be almost as much as going to retail parts store. Pricing is subjective on how you look. If you are Caucasian and clean looking be prepared to pay more. They keep pricing very generic so that they can charge you whatever they want. Out of all the LKQ yards, riverside is the worse for price gouging. The line at cashier is ridiculous! They would rather hire a armed guard then an additional cashier. Lastly they don't always have the tram running. People can't walk up and down the steep hills with parts and tools. This yard is destined to close and just become a scrap yard. They don't care about customers at all!! read more

I sold and old van months ago and well I got my check that same day. I did a mobile e deposit and never realize that it had never gone through because the print wasn't very visible. I got a call from them letting me why I haven't deposit my check and if something was wrong . I was clueless at what she was talking about until I check my back statements and that's when I realized that my check never got deposit. The manager who's name I forgot sorry was kind to tell me that they would make another check, but I had to wait about 7-10 Business day to be able to write another check. I followed up with them and they had a check for me within the 10 days. I am surprised because now and days you can't trust anyone. I would definitely go back to give them my business either for a part or to sale any other . read more

Rip off, I bought a door panel and they tried charging me for pieces that were part of the panel, they were literally glued on it secured with rivets, I broke off the pieces because if I didn't the $25 door panel would've been 60, this is one of those places that you should throw some stuff in your pocket because when you pull up to the window they're gonna rob you, honorable mention of me facing to take some loose bolts out of my bag because i wasn't allowed to enter with them, and also they sell $100 radios for $90, I also heard the employees talking amongst each other saying "oh yeah it's busy, and they're all pst off too" I don't recommend this lkq location read more

The children working the main gate have the worst customer service in any idustry. (Not the security officer) They dont know how to control their tone at the work place, they are in dire need of anger management classes. read more

Security guards are punks. They wanted to put paint on my brand new tools and I refused to have ugly paint on my tools. Security guard got all crazy trying to talk smack to me. They wanted to start a physical confrontation. I told him lets step outside. There are two guys in this world. Men who get down and back up what they say, and men who cry that they're going to "Call the police." look. Don't disrespect a grown man and run your mouth, then say "i'm going to call the police." If you he said he will call the sherriff. I walked away and he said "f*** you" - I told him "Let's go" and he kept saying he was gonna call the sherriff. The kid ran his mouth constantly and was instigating a physical altercation. He is lucky there are cameras and it's not the street, because if you talk to someone the wrong way like that something bad is going to happen to you eventually. Is is very lucky. You guys need to fire that employee. Ya'll are weird trying to start fights with your customers. Talk is cheap that's all I got to say. read more

Decent yard, plenty of parking out front. I do like the row labeling of cars on their website, makes it very easy to find specific vehicles. Pricing is pretty much the same as every other yard around. You have to know what new parts cost if you are gonna save money picking used stuff. I see people complaining about cost of used parts vs. new. For some makes that's a good point but when you are looking for 30 yr old parts that are only available from OEM and cost a small fortune, the yard prices suddenly look pretty good. Counter people were polite. All said I have no gripes about this yard. I'll be going back. read more

this location has a tram to transport you up and down the hill for the 3 sections. The price is fair if you can't find it somewhere else cheaper. As far as the staff goes they chill and have a good attitude. When I go here I gotta make sure to bring all the tools needed to get the parts and make sure to look up online if they got the right car . I also sold a truck to this place they picked it up and gave me a check. Simple and easy. I will come back for parts read more

Horrendously overpriced, employee called the pictured plastic trim a whole shifter linkage and charged $20. Wouldn't consider reason as they don't really understand English and seem to have it in for anyone that does. Unfortunately for them, I'm not going to be taken advantage of, went ahead and called Amex and they will be filling a charge back on my behalf with LKQ. Avoid this location. read more

I had an non-running car that I needed to get rid of. We called to inquire and they were able to pick up the same day! They came to us, paperwork was super easy to execute the transfer, and the best part was that they gave me a check for the car. Great husband/wife team with tow truck. Enjoyed working with them and will be referring them to others. read more

Compared to other yards this place was filthy! Parts everywhere! I mean you just couldn't walk in between the cars. The selection is very small as well. I tried asking the front desk where a certain car was and I was just told that everything is mixed and to go find it. So I asked where a particular row and spot could be found and again was just directed to look at the cars as I walked around. read more

It had every part I was looking for. I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara & a Hinda Accord. Was able to find the parts I needed in one trip Their prices a very low. Definately another trip in my future. If you need a part.... I suggest you start here. read more

I have been coming here for about 14 years. It's a hit or miss when you are looking for certain parts. in the past I have picked up several parts needed for My Explorer. The people that work here are alright too! Be careful for some of the dustier cars up on the 3rd level Ground squirrels jump right out at you when startled! read more

Went in here today looking for a specific vehicle that was listed on their inventory on the website. Called yesterday to check on it before I spent the time and cost of admission and was told they knew nothing about their inventory. I should have known right then not to come in. Unfortunately I didn't trust that instinct and went in only to find the entire row the vehicle was supposed to be in gone. No one had any explanation. Worthless place that does not care about their customers. STAY HOME. read more

I called and sold my car to this business over the phone. I was very specific in mentioning several times that I did not have the title but only a release letter from the bank. I was told this was fine. The driver was three hours late in picking up the car. I was then told that without the title he was going to give me fifty dollars less then originally agreed on. The women on the phone was very rude and non apologetic. This business comes off rude, unprofessional and I hate to say it but shady. Stay away. read more

It is what it is a pick a part, it's a get in get what u need kinda place, keep the line moving.They check you in and check you out going through your bags to make sure your not taking any engines or rims in your buckets or tool bags.God forbid u get away with a thousand dollars worth of parts in your fanny pack of tools.All In all if you've been to one you've been to umm all.I've come here for 3 different cars a 98 Saturn a 94 tercel and a 64 Ford they've had what I've needed every time thus far.Since taking over this new company has some English speaking folks here finally....cuz I guess they figure not everyone who fixes cars speaks spanish.... read more

I had arranged to have my car picked up by this company. Was told it would be picked up within a four hour window and that the driver would call me one hour prior to the arrival time. I changed my travel plans for the day to accommodate the pickup and ensured the car was accessible and easy to load. I made sure my phone was with me all morning but never received the call. When I called after the window had passed they transferred me to tow driver. The lady that answered was rude and claimed they had tried calling once and left a message. I had no record of either. When I called LKQ to let them know, I spoke to Regina. She apologized, but still doesn't change the fact that I still am stuck with the car and have to make further arrangements. I will be hesitant to deal with this company again. read more

I went here to find a replacement Hub Cap. The place was packed. There was also a 2 dollar charge to walk in the gate. I can live with that, I asked the guy at the gate where I would find hub caps. He did not speak English. I walked around a bit and did not see them. I asked a couple of more guys, no English. I finally stood in line to ask the cashier. He also did not speak English. In fact, I could not find anyone there that spoke English. I felt very out of place and uncomfortable. I did find the same model car as mine, but all the wheels are removed. Surely there is a huge trove of hub caps there somewhere but I cant find anyone who I can ask. I left after about 20 min of searching. I wont be back. read more
