Short answer: Pick Your Part is no longer owned by LKQ. LKQ sold the chain to an affiliate of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, and the sale closed on October 1, 2025. The yards kept the Pick Your Part name and now use the website pyp.com, which listed 60 yards in 17 states when we checked. The other big chains changed hands too: Pick-n-Pull's parent company was bought by Toyota Tsusho America in July 2025, and Pull-A-Part has owned U-Pull-&-Pay since 2022.
Last checked: October 5, 2026. The Pick Your Part sale is from LKQ's announcements of August 26 and October 1, 2025 and its SEC filings. The strategic review is from LKQ's January 26, 2026 filing and its July 30, 2026 results. The Radius Recycling sale is from Toyota Tsusho's announcements. Store counts, policies and prices are from each chain's own website.

Is Pick Your Part still LKQ?
No. On August 26, 2025, LKQ announced an agreement to sell its Self Service segment, which it named as Pick Your Part, to an affiliate of Pacific Avenue Capital Partners. The enterprise value was $410 million. LKQ said it would use the money to pay down debt. It reported the sale complete on October 1, 2025. Pacific Avenue's own website now lists Pick Your Part as a current portfolio company acquired in October 2025.
The LKQ name has gone from the chain's website. The old address, lkqpickyourpart.com, now forwards to pyp.com. The footer reads Pick Your Part, and the About page does not name an owner. The toll-free number on that page, (800) 962-2277, is the same one the chain advertised under the LKQ name in 2019.
A separate LKQ story muddies searches. On January 26, 2026, LKQ's board began a review of strategic alternatives, including a possible sale of LKQ itself. In its results for the second quarter, released July 30, 2026, LKQ said the review has no deadline and may not lead to a deal. That review is about LKQ's remaining businesses. Pick Your Part is no longer one of them, so a sale of LKQ would not change who owns your local Pick Your Part.

What changed for Pick Your Part customers?
The yards work the same way. What has changed is in the fine print on pyp.com, and the site does not say whether the new owner made these changes.
| Policy | What pyp.com says now |
|---|---|
| 90-Day Worry-Free Guarantee | Optional and added at checkout unless you ask the cashier to remove it. Covers a wrong part, a part that does not fit or one that does not work, with the receipt and the part marked, for a full refund within 90 days |
| Environmental fee | Dropped as of November 25, 2025. The cost is now built into the part prices |
| Rounding | Since July 23, 2026, the total on every sale is rounded down to the nearest 5 cents |
| Catalytic converters | Not sold |
One page has not caught up. The yard rules page still says prices exclude environmental fees. If you see one on a receipt, ask about it at the counter. Prices are set per yard, so open the price list for the yard you plan to visit, not the one nearest the top of the page. Our note on core charges explains the deposit that shows up next to many prices.
Who owns Pick-n-Pull now?
Pick-n-Pull belongs to Radius Recycling, a metals recycler based in Portland, Oregon. Toyota Tsusho Corporation announced on March 14, 2025 that it would buy Radius, and its US arm, Toyota Tsusho America, completed the purchase on July 10, 2025, US time. Toyota Tsusho America said Radius would keep its headquarters, management, employees and brand. Radius shares came off the Nasdaq.
Pick-n-Pull's own website still describes it as a subsidiary of Radius Recycling and does not mention Toyota Tsusho. It lists 44 US stores and 4 in Canada. It also notes that it is not affiliated with Pick-n-Pull San Antonio, a separate business with a similar name.
