Overview

LKQ Pick Your Part - Santa Fe Springs at 13780 Imperial Hwy.

LKQ Pick Your Part in Santa Fe Springs lets customers find and buy used car parts on their own. The yard runs on a "u-pull-it" system—you walk the lot, pick the parts you need, and take them yourself. This location at 13780 Imperial Hwy. stocks a broad selection of salvaged parts, from engines and transmissions to body panels, interior pieces, and more. The yard is open to the public, and staff can help identify parts or answer inventory questions. No appointment is needed—just show up during business hours and search at your own pace.

What to Know Before You Visit

LKQ Pick Your Part - Santa Fe Springs is built for DIYers, mechanics, and car owners looking for affordable used parts. You handle the selection and removal yourself, though the yard provides basic tools. The inventory covers parts from many vehicle makes and models, with an emphasis on common and in-demand components.

How the Self-Service Process Works

  • Walk the lot: Parts are grouped by vehicle type, but you may need to look around to find what you need.
  • Check part fit: Staff can confirm if a part matches your vehicle. Bring your car’s make, model, and year for the best match.
  • Remove the part: Use the tools on-site to take the part off the vehicle. Staff can guide you if you’re unsure, but they don’t help with the removal.
  • Pay at checkout: Bring your part to the counter for payment. Prices are set per part, and bulk purchases or promotions may offer discounts.

What Parts Are in Stock?

The yard carries:

  • Engines and transmissions (domestic and foreign)
  • Body parts (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers)
  • Interior pieces (seats, dashboards, trim)
  • Suspension and drivetrain parts (control arms, axles, differentials)
  • Electrical components (wiring, sensors, lights)
  • Wheels, tires, and brake parts
  • Exhaust systems and catalytic converters
Parts come from salvaged vehicles, so stock changes often. High-demand items sell fast, while rarer parts may take longer to find.

Tools and Help Available

The yard has basic tools like wrenches and pry bars, but bringing your own can speed things up, especially for tough parts. Staff can point you to the right part or vehicle but won’t help with removal.

The new owners messed up the exit system at this yard, and it’s a nightmare now. Before, there was staff at the gate to check people out fast—no waiting in the cashier line if you weren’t buying anything. Now? You’re stuck in that line whether you’re buying or not. And don’t even get me started on the managers. The old ones kept things running smooth, but the new ones? Clueless. They let the cashier lines get ridiculous, and instead of opening more registers, they just stand around. If they can’t hire enough people, pay better. This place used to be efficient. Now it’s a mess, and I’ve been coming here for over 10 years. ---

I’ve been going to junkyards for 25 years, and I’ve never seen service like this. Rosie and Perla at the Santa Fe Pick a Part location treated me—and everyone else in line—like we were the only customers there. They asked if I found what I needed, if I had any questions, stuff I’ve only heard at fancy car dealerships. It wasn’t just me; they did this for everyone. I wish LKQ Pick a Part would take notes from these two. They made the whole experience smooth, and that’s rare in this business. ---

Needed a battery for my minivan, and Pick Your Part had it. Easy in, easy out. Even got the veterans discount, which was a nice bonus. ---

The admin fee was $3 (some places charge $5), and the cars are mostly on concrete—no mud or dirt to deal with. But the app is a joke. Finding the right transmission version of my car was a nightmare. They don’t even list whether a car is standard or automatic up front. And don’t get me started on the photos—half the time, they’re blurry or focused on the wrong thing. The worst part? I found a car I needed, drove there the next day, and it was already crushed. They wouldn’t even let me see it. If I were a friend of an employee, I bet it wouldn’t have been a problem. And no discounts for damaged or worn parts? They sell everything like it’s brand new. The app also doesn’t say when cars get crushed, so you waste time driving there for nothing. Fix this stuff.

Two stars because if you’re hauling your own parts, the prices here are way higher than eBay with free shipping. I waited in line for a $40 rearview mirror, then checked eBay—same part, $30, free shipping. But I’ll give it two stars because sometimes you *can* find stuff here that’s impossible to get on eBay. So it’s worth it if you’re hunting for something rare. ---
