Services & What to Expect

LKQ Four States in Joplin is a self-service salvage yard. Customers can walk the lot, find parts from wrecked or donated vehicles, and remove them without help. The yard stocks a variety of used auto parts, including engines, transmissions, body panels, interior components, and mechanical parts. Vehicles are often grouped by make and model, though the layout can shift as new inventory arrives.

Bring your own tools—wrenches, sockets, and pry bars are a must. Some parts may need cutting or welding, and the yard doesn’t provide those services. You’ll need a valid driver’s license or ID to enter. The yard doesn’t clean or test parts, so check them carefully before buying.

Parts are priced individually, and you pay when you remove them. There are no returns or warranties on used parts. If you’re looking to sell an old car, LKQ Corporation has a separate cash for junk cars program, but it’s not available at this location.

What Parts Are Available?

• Engines and transmissions
• Body panels (doors, hoods, fenders, bumpers)
• Interior parts (seats, dashboards, consoles)
• Mechanical components (brakes, suspension, exhaust)
• Electrical parts (wiring harnesses, sensors, lights)
• Scrap metal and salvageable materials

Inventory changes often as new vehicles come in. The yard doesn’t specialize in rare or classic car parts, so what’s available depends on recent donations and wrecks.
