LKQ Pick Your Part - Sun Valley at 11201 Pendleton St, Sun Valley, CA 91352

First time there, the guy at checkout was a jerk—overcharged me, grabbed the wrong stuff, and tried to rush me out. If you go, check your receipt *right* after paying or you’ll end up stuck with extra charges. And don’t let them push you around. *Edit:* Went back and got a different person at the window—a nice lady who fixed the mistake and gave me a refund. Not all of them are bad, just had one real bad experience. Still, I’m happier now that it got sorted. ---

Went there on New Year’s Eve, and the guys working told us everything would be half off the next day. We were grabbing parts that added up to over $200, so we came back the following day to snag the discount. The app they’ve got is actually pretty handy—it lets you set up alerts when a car you’re tracking gets dropped off. You can search through all the Pick Your Parts listings for whatever you need, and it’s way easier than digging through random junkyards. ---

They fixed my windshield leak without replacing the whole thing. Wish it hadn’t cost so much, but honestly, prices are up everywhere. Other places were ready to charge me like it was already broken, just in case. These folks knew what they were doing, at least. ---

Found exactly what I needed here, and yeah, pulling parts off the car yourself is a pain—but honestly, it’s worth it. Picked up a used carbon fiber hood for my E46 GTR, clear coat a little rough, and they wanted $55 for it. That’s a no-brainer deal. Would come back in a heartbeat. ---

Admission just jumped to $5, and the parts prices? Tripled. Every location uses the same pricing, so don’t expect a break. One place wanted $456 for a cracked bumper cover, plus extra for the license plate holder, the busted fog light, and even the foam insert. Weekends are packed, and the lot’s huge—cars and trucks everywhere. There’s an extra section inside called PRIMO AUTO, but that’s another $2 on top of the $3 entry fee. Good luck finding parts still on the car when you get there—some are stripped down to nothing. People will wreck stuff just to get one part, like ripping out seats or smashing the windshield for a cigarette lighter. They’ve got a 90-day warranty, but if you don’t want it, tell them upfront or they’ll charge you anyway. Wheelbarrows and an engine hoist are there if you need to move heavy stuff. Porto-potties are out in the yard, and there’s food trucks in the parking lot. No more phone number sign-ups for discounts, either.
