The sign says you’re open until 5, but don’t count on it. Drove all the way here for nothing. ---

Don’t bother calling this place—just show up if you want to get anything done. I can’t figure out how a company the size of LKQ has such terrible phone service. I tried calling for nearly an hour straight, and every time, someone just hung up on me. I kept redialing for 30 minutes, and not once did anyone pick up. When I finally got there, I saw two or three people sitting right by the phone, doing absolutely nothing. It’s bad for business when the owner loses customers and money because the staff is too lazy to answer calls. ---

Shoutout to Jason Young—he’s the real deal. Bought an engine from him for my Jeep, and when it turned out to be bad, he didn’t waste time. He got a new one right away, made sure it was installed properly, and now it runs perfectly. Couldn’t be happier with how he handled it. Thanks, Jason!

The front desk acts like helping customers is a chore. Every time I call or stop by, they make it clear they’d rather not deal with me. I keep buying parts here because the prices are fair, but the attitude makes the whole process frustrating. It’s like they’re doing you a favor just by existing. ---
