This yard is huge. It has a lot of inventory.Section…. Row… Inventory number 1264 - 12345.Bilingual Speakers.Map of the area.They sell lifetime warranty Car BatteryThey sell used tires, wheels, Alternator, Starters, A/C Compressor, autobody partsEntrance fee is 3 dollarsPrices are reasonable and there are a few items that you have to pay a core charge.The Primo Side requires another $ 2 dollar charge.

Domestic, import hundreds of salvaged vehicles. Tell him your year, make, and model, $3:00 entrance fee Your tools a bottle of water and pick your part. Its that easy!

I gotta say if you need anything parts related, check LKQ first! The staff are amazing! The parts are dirt cheap compared to autoparts stores. I was able to fix a mini cooper today. LKQ coming in clutch since the water pump pulley nobody seems to carry and none able to order! If you need anything at all, make sure enough have a good couple hours to spend and a toolbox! 5 star rating indeed!

The vehicle we went to pick from was not as described so we werent able to get what we needed. We had to piece from random other vehicles to get small parts. It wasnt a total bust but not as productive an outing as we hoped. They do try to keep the place organized in labeled rows and such but if its your first time there, ask the guy when you pay to enter what their coded rows mean etc. A couple of people were having trouble finding the vehicles they needed to find. Some who come and pick dont take care when they take something apart. I saw ALOT of parts and pieces just thrown on the ground that could have been used by someone else.

Sold them a car and their check bounced. Still waiting for a new one to be issued, their policy is 2 weeks to reissue a check. The people on the phone seem to not care at all. One of the managers in person was at least considerate about it, but I would stay clear of selling anything to this location.I explained that I had just bought a car and cleaned my account out and now the check they wrote just got pulled back out and I wont have any money until my next pay period but they didnt care at all. I was just a nuisance to them when it was their or their banks fault that I even had to contact them again.They made comments like oh honey our checks dont bounce but it clearly did. When I checked with my bank, they said it was declined from their bank. 🤷‍♀️

Getting kind of pricey and BEWARE, they automatically add WARRANTY to the parts you pick, WITHOUT telling you!!! You HAVE to tell them that you dont want it... check your receipt. I dont like scammers and they have turned into just that.

First time here in a long time. Found what I needed. Pretty good prices. Friendly service.

Great place .lots of parts for ur car .and they do Business with C.A.P they pay you on the spot .Out with the old in with the new ...

LKQs bosses at Chula Vista are all scammers and thieves. The cashier doesnt have a green idea about auto parts. In addition, they try to press some idiotic guarantees without informing the customers. The place is extremely badly organized and messy. There are no wheelbarrows for customers. Prices are twice as high as in Las Vegas. This is probably the worst junkyard Ive ever seen.

This place is not for newer cars but if you looking for part from 90 to 12 this is the place you need to visit. Its helped me alot in the sense that I can save money for parts that would otherwise be of great cost but instead I saved my money for great parts

Love this place i always feel like a kid in a candy story

Great variety domestic and imports. These are easy to find as described on app.

Thay chag way two much .neww the part will be$125 new there prise $120 used ...and the customers service the wherst ever rude

Good car inventory, but you have to get there quick, and get your spares before they gone, they don have discount like other yards from the same company, but no complaints I find my parts, bring your tools, and don’t ask many questions to the employees, when is the next car coming or can you pulled for me, they don’t know

This place is a rip off these days. Prices are almost the same for brand new and they automatically tack on warranty. Might as well just buy new parts.

Once my car got approved for the BAR program I brought it here. They were courteous, quick, and knew exactly what they were doing.

Overall a good experience and right now they are having a 90 day warranty you buy the part you need and if you find a better one in 90 days you can exchange it for free

A good option for parts. Where the price goes with the budget.good service..

Get ready for long checkout lines and retail prices. Total Scam.

This place is actually outrageously overpriced. Look on ebay first, or even auto parts store first. If you cant find then sure come here. Every other place ive ever been to is at least half the price. Everything I bought was the same price on ebay, or even brandnew. Didnt want to waist more time ordering. Other then that the place is fine. $3 to get in. FOod truck is good!

This location is very expensive. Buy your part from different junk yard like Tapatio is cheaper and you will save your time. I went there a couple of times. The cashier always has long line to wait. Prices are expensive for example i went there to get buttom rear seat for kia forte 2013. After looking for the car unassembled thr part then waiting on line. They wanted to charge me over 50 dollars!!! I left the seat there and i got it from tapatio for 40 dollars ( save time and money)... i do not recommend this place.

Woman worker told my disabled husband to stand outside parking structure for hours til he got help.

I used to go here a lot. I dont need to that much anymore though.You have to pay 3 dollars to go in the first yard, which has 99 and older cars, but if your car is 2000 or newer, you have to pay an additional 2 dollars to go into the other yard, and you can only get there by going through the first yard. That part of it, is just pure and simple, a money making strategy. Still, you get to pick your part (no pun intended... 😁), And for much cheaper than other junkyards. Sometimes you need little parts or bolts that you cant get anywhere else, so its convenient to go here.

I found my part but I waited 1/2 hour to pay ..you guys need more personal.….. 04/11/2021

Very bad cashier service I had to wait 30 minutes to pay for my parts

Its a good place to find good used car parts. The lot is well organized. The cars have sufficient space between them so you can work comfortably. The majority of the cars are well marked and within their area. The recommendation is to have better price information. At times the prices tend to be on the high side. But then its your choice to pay for the part.

Dude working the gate was super cool and helpful. Looked up where some cars were and pointed me in the right direction. Good stuff going on there.

Sky high prices...There updated daily inventory was not updated.the car wasnt there.Dont trust the inventory searchAnd always price the parts new online before you buy used for more $.

I like how you can go online and check out there inventory first before you make a trip down there!!!!

Got an alert that showed a car coming in today with motor in it, i was the 2nd person in the gate at 9am....motor,trans,wheels everything gone must have been taken by someone who works here shady business dont waste your time

I went for a used radio for my 2007 Ford Focus. I found one. They charge $3 just to get in and you have to find and remove the part yourself from a huge yard. I did. I waited in a huge line and they charged me $31.00. I knew right away that they overcharged me, Im assuming because I was dressed pretty nice. Its a sad shame that some people think that a little greed goes a long way. well it does. because I wouldnt recommend this place to anyone. If you want people to recommend places to your business. its best to keep the customer first. The purpose of Junkyards are for people to go when they are on a tight budget. For the price they charged me I couldve bought a brand new one. There are a bunch of junkyards in that general area so I would keep passing by this one if I were you. I still bought the part bc I had already did the work on removing it and waited forever in line. The 1 star is for the guy at the front named BLAINE who was super dope and helpful.

Not sure why but in the east facility one has to pay an additional $2 to enter section A. I liked the staff was very friendly and great attitude.

Awesome place!!! There’s everything one needs to rebuild a car 🚗

Good fun. Lots Of cars, cheap prices. Bring some tools and have a field day.

Prices have multiplied this year and cars seem more picked over than in the past.

By far the least expansive place to get the parts you’ll need. However avoid weekends as prices seem to be extra. Beside the entrance guys, the rest don’t seem to care, specially the latinaX girl working the parts price / cash register. She actually went online and then quoted me the price that was same as the brand new part and would take to answer.

Went today in the morning and was confronted with a rude security guard that had no respect for people and their personal belongings. I understand their policy on searching bags, but when some one just starts grabbing your bag without your permission it’s disrespectful, rude and very unprofessional. It was obvious this “security guard” had zero training, in security or especially customer service. He told me he had to search my and tried to snatch it from my hands, so much so that I had to get a grip on it. I admit, it made me upset as I know most people would, but I kept my cool and took my bag back. I told him that I’ll open it for him and show him the contents of my bag (tools), and that if he needed me to move anything around I would do it. My mindset is Covid-19, the less contact we have with people, the less chances of transmitting or contracting covid.... Hence don’t touch my bag! Of course he got but hurt and continued with his ego trip... I continued on with getting my parts and proceeded to pay. My friend and I stood in line together and waited to pay. I could see the same security eye balling us from aways, he comes up to us and tells us to distance ourselves from each other while in line....made no sense...other than this guy’s ego getting the best of him cause he got told not to touch what doesn’t belong to him... My friend and I shrugged it off cause we’re, I don’t know, grownups! I payed, grabbed my bag and parts headed to checkout. Ego tripping security approaches me and try’s to grab my bag AGAIN.... I pulled it back...again... He says he has to check my bag. I said that’s fine as long as I open it my self, he tells me that he has to and proceed to try and take my bag. I pull my bag toward myself and open the zippers and expose all the contents. Everyone could see clearly that all I had were tools, I had nothing but TOOLS. But because he didn’t open my bag he proceeded to throw a tantrum because his ego got the best of him. He start yelling out that I’m band from the junkyard for life and that I’ll never be allowed to come back. I told him to call his boss, I want to talk to him. He did and as he did other customers and employees were in agreement that he was in the wrong and confirmed he’s had issues before. The owner came out and I explained to him the situation and what happened. Of course he agreed that I was in compliance and that there were no grounds for black listing me. The dumbfounded look on the security was priceless! Although the owner agreed his security was in the wrong, he had the audacity to compare his security to that of an airport... I don’t think so... first of all TSA are federally trained professionals who know how to treat people and use proper PPE during searches. Pretty sure this ego tripping security guard doesn’t have any sort of training, he put a shirt on that he mistakenly thought gave him the right to violate people’s personal space and belongings. At the end of it all, I will not be coming back to this junkyard anytime soon. The only good point the security guard made was the lack of sanitization with the vehicles during this pandemic! He mentioned that people rummage through cars and no one sanitizes them.... maybe they should be closed too during this pandemic... The amount of disregard for people’s safety and health is very disturbing even for a junkyard. From spraying paint in front of customers while standing in line to egotistical security guard and lack of regard for public safety, this place is a plethora of noncompliance. Maybe the city needs to be called to audit them....I highly do not recommend this junkyard.

Fantastic quick work !

Whats there to say? Its a junkyard that you go in with your tools and take the part out and pay for it. $3 entrance fee. Cars are organized by section so it was pretty easy to find.

It was fun I live in imperial valley which is a couple of hours away its always a treat for me to go to the pick your part.

Nice people.

Went to sell my vehicle that was running perfectly fine. Arrived at the location, and was told to call a number instead of being helped in person. Got quoted 300 and was given a check for 280. This place lowballed me and was stubborn on not negotiating. The fact that even even shorted me 20 bucks without explanation is really sketchy. I’m not sure what type of business they’re running here. Probably not sustainable which is why they have to rip people off.

I want to get some a bumper for my car. After you paid the entrance fee, they will charge you more to see the cars. All cars are in a mess, its very difficult to find the car you want. Although they first claim they have the car I need, I find that there are only very old cars and they refuse to help me find it. Their price can be very expensive, some are even almost the price of new part. When I get out, they even searched through my backpack to see if I get something not paid. I want to sue then for the violation of my privacy!

To many hidden charges$3.0O Another 300. To go to a parts yard for 2006 vehicles.I was quoted the wrong price and was charged 3 times as much.And then asked if I wanted to purchase a warranty so I can exchange it if it was the wrong part.I could have bought the same thing at eBay for significant less money and it would be new.LKQ NO THANKS.I dont like being nickel and dimed .Im surprised they havent figured out how to charge you for the time and effort you put in removing the parts. Im sure someone there might read this and do it.

Great car selection. Went into the second lot that charges the extra $2. Definitely worth it to me

Clean, safe environment. Smooth, easy process from entrance to exit. The employees are very knowledgeable, friendly and happy.

Call first down loud ap

This place is a junk yard where you can buy used parts for your vehicle.

I found what i wanted but couldnt get it, she was sitting there smiling at me and even with a torn bra i wanted to buy her..... unfortunately she was already bought. 2006 Honda civic Rims Tires Body Kit with bra in the front.This place has cars for sale as well parts ***Pick your part

Normally I try an find the positive an offer maybe a bad day situation...the cashier is the WORST in customer service and knowledge. Accusing people of cutting parts as well as overcharging. Manager had to get involved AGAIN. This isnt the first time with her FOUL attitude.

The only place that had the part I needed at half the cost

Was buying a lower arm for the prize thats on there web . on the register prize changed because they call a lower arm and A Frame which is more money for the A Frame . there wrong and they know it because of this they dont get 5 star .careful with prizes besides this its good .

They got their inventory all categorized on their website and app which makes for a more successful parts hunting adventure at all their yards, not just hit and miss anymore.

If you use the app u can c if they have the car you r looking parts for. They do a great job updating

Good Parts at a good price if youre willing to take them off yourself.

Found every thing I needed. Saved money over dealer or ebay.

Ive been coming here for over 20 years. I nearly always find the part I need. It saves me mucho bucks each time. Bring your own tools and pick-your-parts and save big over dealer/shop prices! These days the inventory is listed online with pics!! Very cool!!

Good place for picking your parts. Staff is friendly as well.

Real mixed bag of feelings. A lot of the good stuff is gone by the time you get to it. The staff gets dibs I guess. I have gotten good stuff here though. I got a 200.00 alternator for 35.00. Its been in my truck a year and run s great. Phone service is hit and miss though. I called about a part earlier today a d the guy asked me the same question 3 times. then quoted me the same price I told him wasnt the right assembly. Overall its a good place to save money. Use the website, research your parts and vehicle le BEFORE you get there.

Love this place

Horrible customer service

Good place to get parts at reasonable prices. Especially for import vehicles.

So I went to this junkyard I pay 3 dollars just for cross to this other one that is inside the same yard (primo) and I pay 2 more dollars, I was going to buy a horn, on their website says 6.40, BUT when I was paying they said prices on primo are different of lkq, and they want me to pay 10+ dollars, so I tell them, well on the website it doesnt say anything!!!They told me if I dont like their price go to another place because they cant do anything, I ask to speak with the manager JUAN but they said he doesnt go every day, SO!!NO ONE CAN HELPUseless

Got a S10 pu combination switch, which the harness is part of the Assembly . spent 2 hr getting out of the truck trying not to damage the harness and they tell me its a 2 piece.well to many people waiting in line.in line disabled veteran and they need to go back to school because I just spent 35 dollars and could have go ta brand new one for 49. Wont be back

Just old junks you pay 5 dollars for nothing

Am i the only person that has had a good experience here? LolsGranted that the employees here aren’t very helpful, i didn’t think they were that bad. They wont help you pick your part. Also they will not loan you any tools. You are 100% on your own for those things. In fact i have found that even other pickers wont loan you a tool. I have asked a few times and got denied every time. LolsI dint have 100% success rate here, but i usually get the part that i am looking for. I have had some problems with seized bolts. All in all going to pick your part had saved me thousands of dollars and i will almost always come here to look for a part before i shop online or at the auto parts store.

Guy at the front was awesome! Would definitely come back because of it!

The cashiers are awesome. And the guards are kool

A lot of cars

Low prices on all sorts of parts.

The prices are to high on all parts.

Prices are to high on some electric parts. Better finds on the internet.

Efficient and easy had my check in 20 minutes

Customer service is always great and the website is pretty accurate on what parts are available.

Worst experience ever (this place is a scam) the staff was rude and unapologetic. This the first time my son and I have ever been to a place like this. Paid $6 just to get in asked if they had a 2007 civic to which the attendant said they had two and just ponied inside not once mentioning that we had to pay an additional fee to go look at the car. When I mentioned this to the other attendant all she said was thats just the way things are and learn to read. Getting a refund is out of the question. Would not reccomend this place to anyone this is not about the $6 it is more about communication/transparency upfront with the customer and people skills.

Sold them a very old work van I had. They gave me a quote on the phone. The quote was $50 more if I delivered it, which I did. They came out and look at the vehicle to make sure it was exactly as I said. It was. I signed over the title and was out of there in 20 minutes.

I pulled a bumper for my 92 Nissan, the lady at the front was gonna charge me MORE than a brand new one . avoid at all cost

DO NOT COME HERE. THE RUDEST PEOPLE IN THE WHOLE INDUSTRY. Do you like to be interrupted and a treated like dirt. Give this place a call.

This place is great place I know this place since 1997 the only issue attention. to this ..if you call them they will tell you ..yes we havent but you have a chance 50/50. Nets guarantee they will have the part. mention also bring your tools with you to pick up your part

I just want to know why the website says $4.25 for weather strip and I was being charged $38 at the register? KINDA SHADY

Been going here for years. they have a website that also shows on hand inventory. you can set up a profile with vehicle alerts for cars or trucks youre looking for. Make sure you save your phone number to the online profile so you can build points toward future purchases.

So I called to ask for their inventory and I was directed to the website. Their website said they had 5 Toyota yrais. So I drive 1hr to this place and they dont even have one. I talk to a guy that works. He said If its on the website but its not in the yard then we dont have it. No sh!* sherlock.

Great place! Easy to find the alternator i needed and easy to ger my money back for my core fee. Will definitely be back.

Not good

I love the online garage with alerts it saves me so much time I can get exactly what I need in be in and out of the yard in under an hour. The thing I like best is the photos and location of the cars so I know exactly where to go.

Love it

Great place for a motor head to unwind.!

Before was good now is a mess you have all the cars mixed up 👎👎

If the pic of the car in the inventory search is over 30 days old dont expect to find the car in decent condition with usable parts. Plus, if you want to get parts off a car that is made in the year 2000 on up, expect to pay $5.00 total get into the second side of the lot. Due to outdated pictures on their website, I wasted my money and the car was totally stripped of anything useful.

Good organize place

Great price on car part

My experience was horrible the second time on 9/18/2018 was horrible they were racist and there website says a total different price then when I And my boyfriend got part off of vehicle and brought it all the way up front to buy the price they gave us was nothing like the prices that they have on there website and so I had to leave the part there and the people working there basically if I would have been Mexican I would have probably gotten the part for a lot cheaper but because I was a caucasion they told me an extremely high price and so they have false advertising of there parts and then they charge a much higher price when you actually try to buy it and I wouldn’t recommend anyone too them especially if they aren’t a Mexican cause they sure didn’t treat me nor my boyfriend very well at all. And I think that I was treated very unfairly and they are a business that does discriminate so be careful. So if I were you just watch if your not being careful they will hike up the prices on you. So if your looking for great customer service do not go to pick a part west or east. LKQ pick your partThank you

Prices online don’t match their actual prices. Ridiculously over priced for parts you don’t know are good nor even usable

This place is the worst they tell yoi they have your part i drove an hour to get thete not only did they not have the part they didnt jave the vehicle. This happemef twice i found anotjer location 100 miles away they will not check to see ig the part is there you have to drive 2 1/2 hours and checl yourself. Douchbags

Too much walk, but now Im think is different

Always the parts youre looking for, and accessible prices

This place has a low review for good reason. Rude and unhelpful staff, I think the lady at the window charged me wrong for the wheel. She really didnt seem to have much of a clue what she was doing or even what she was looking at for that matter and just making up prices.

Avoid this place... They charge you for going into every single lot saying its company policy..paid three lots because they couldnt tell me where the car I needed was located..and if you dont know Spanish good luck communicating with 99% of the workers...

The inventory list online is correct but never updated so the cars listed might not be there anymore. There is a $3 per person entrance fee to get into the lot. Since most people have vehicles over the year 1999 you also have to pay $2 entrance fee to get into the Primo lot. Vehicles arent organized by type and staff has no clue what is sitting on the lot. Luckily I was able to find the vehicle and parts I was looking for. Sadly the prices listed online and told to me over the phone werent honored and what shouldve cost me $75 in parts was well over $125. If I hadnt already done the work to get the parts I wouldve left them seeing as I couldve gotten them me with the warranty from Amazon around the same price.

Is a BIG difference with the workers in different location.Chula Vistathey are so friendly and they take the time to anwear all your questions .Thanks Chile Vista team.Oceanside location they are so rude in the cashier, is like you going to robber us.
