Pick Your Part - Greenville

I spent 15 minutes hauling myself up that stupid hill to grab parts, and by the time I got to the counter, they’d already locked the doors. Then, because my truck was dead and I had to come back two days later, they’d *thrown my parts away*. I called the next day—no answer. The 800 number? Useless. Now I’ve missed work, and I’m still missing the parts I paid for. Unbelievable. ---

I called ahead, and they promised me $630 cash for my car if I came in that day. So I showed up, and what do I get? A manager who tells me she’s "on break," stuffing her face with food, and that I have to wait *two hours* while she and her staff finish eating. My tow guy was outside waiting—no help. He left, and now I’ve lost my car *and* the money. I called the call center, and they washed their hands of it. So who’s responsible? The manager who’d rather eat than do her job? The call center that doesn’t care? Nobody’s taking accountability, and I’m the one screwed. Absolutely disgusting service.

Honestly, I’m not sure if this place is still worth the drive after prices went up. I just needed a passenger-side headlight—thought I’d save some cash by getting it here instead of new. But then they hit me with an extra $12.25 for the "housing," like it’s not part of the same thing. The light itself was $39.99, so that’s $52.24 total. Meanwhile, I could’ve bought the exact same part brand new on Amazon for $41 with the housing already included. Feels like a rip-off now. Used to be my go-to spot, but lately, it’s just frustrating how much they charge for stuff that’s already falling apart.

If you’re looking for car parts and don’t drive some $200K exotic, this place usually has what you need. Prices are way better than a parts store, though obviously everything’s used. They’ll even throw in a warranty on some stuff, which helps. The staff’s decent—they’ll point you to the right parts and make sure they’ll fit your car. Only real downside? You’re digging through a junkyard, so don’t expect showroom condition. ---

Between the fees, the "warranty charges," the core charges, and the actual part price, you’re better off just ordering online. eBay gives you a full refund no questions asked, Amazon ships fast and has the lowest prices, and neither one tries to nickel-and-dime you with hidden junk fees. The staff here acts like you’re some kind of criminal just for walking in, then charges you an arm and a leg for parts that look like they’ve been sitting in a ditch. If you treat customers like dirt, they’ll leave—and good riddance. This place used to be decent, but now? It’s just overpriced scrap with a bad attitude. I’m done. There are way better options out there. ---

I showed up at LKQ around noon, thinking I’d grab a few tires with rims and be done in an hour. Instead, I spent the next four or five hours digging through their lot, only to get shut down at the last minute. When I finally went inside 25 minutes before closing, I asked about their $5 tire dismount service—they said no. I even tried buying the tires *with* the rims, but they still refused. Meanwhile, the people behind me? They were getting helped, buying parts, no problem. I’ve got photos and video proof of this double standard. Now I’m out $200, half a day, and my Labor Day plans—all because this place decided to jerk me around. I came for the 50% sale, left with nothing but wasted time and a dirty yard to show for it. This isn’t just bad service; it’s targeted. I’m taking this to the BBB, state and federal agencies, and small claims court. Next time, I’d rather just buy new tires at a real store than deal with this garbage. Don’t bother—this place picks and chooses who gets helped, and it’s not worth your time. ---
