Any LKQ peeps in here?

[Lason]

Baron helped me out a couple years ago with a transmission for the wifes car. Who would have guessed a 96 camry tranny is $2500+ to rebuild? Anyway he put us in touch with someone up there and that got us a deal.

That being said I called the other day about a engine assembly and the guy I talked to was a complete asshole! The douchebag even laughed at me when I asked about if it came with an accessory drive. As much as those fucking things cost a little customer service would be nice. That is one of the main reasons I prefer to do my buisness online.

The one time I bought something from LKQ was fine. The price wasn't outrageous and the part really wasn't bad. It was a light and it had a few little imperfections, but I was ok with it. It's a used part, what can you expect?

i have called up there and got one price, then when the driver showed up i got a lower price. (didnt know the drivers had such pull)
but i really try to steer clear from LKQ things sure have gotten a bit shady to me compared to the way they use to be.

Lkq is good, just Like anything els.......you gotta know who to deal with.

["MrEd"]

being dealing with them for years, things aren't as good as they use to be for me at least..

I'm sure it's all in who you talk to. Like a lot of places you usually have to weed through a couple of mouth-breathers to get to someone who actually knows what they are talking about and wants to help you. I have an incorrect rear end from them sitting here for that very reason. I normally have one guy that I'll talk to for every vendor I use and I won't talk to anyone else if that person is there.

hahaha good ole LKQ just showed up as i was reading through this thread and damn them if they cant get their crap straight. i was expecting a suspension assembly for this 06 sienna and sure enough the driver pulls it out of the truck and i can tell immediately that this thing is wrong. i check the invoice and it clearly states if from an 09! now don't you think these guys have some kind of fitment guide similar to the dealerships as big as a company as they are!

I also had the same thing happen as Henry i needed a lift gate for this sienna and my rep quotes me $1300!! says that's the best he can do and im like shit man i just need a shell he must have some request for a back glass and taillight assembly but he doesn't back down. so i finally call the dealer and sure enough they have a NEW shell in stock for $629 my cost! they are going to start loosing good customers fast if they keep this up.

Dude, a front suspension for the sienna is 04-09?

[dangerous_sep]

apparently not according to my rep he says they are different and acted all shocked saying "how the hell did you end up with an 09" strut and spring is different as well as the lower control arm.

just sucks having to be at the mercy of LKQ and waiting another day for these parts as well as the insurance mercy since they love LKQ and the low to them(ins co.) prices.

i should also add that he did say he has an 06 that they just got and the part will be here tomorrow.

No aguement there. Good reps see and catch some of them, and if they don't, fix it quick. I'm betting that one was all wheel drive.

I agree their prices have gone up but Larry has always helped me out when something goes wrong.
