LKQ Pick Your Part Bradenton
Bradenton, Florida

Purchased items that had to be shipped to me but the quality was terrible and 2 of the items were broken. Terrible service, employee forgot to order an item so i had to go back so they could add it, poor communication between employees, asked for a refund and returned all a items. A week later i only received half of my refund, had to go back and found out the employee “forgot “ to process my return. 2 weeks for a refund.

So what I'm guessing that is happening in here is that they have several people doing customer service hence the "good reviews". The male customer service person that I called was EXTREMELY rude and just hung up on me when I asked if they took burned cars... had me take photos send it for no reason because a quick "sorry we don't accept cars in that condition" would have sufficed. Do people not have any decency anymore??! This business will suffer if they keep having the same person answer calls. Seriously look at your recent reviews.

I recently purchased a battery that is supposed to come with a lifetime warranty. It lasted a few days and I came back to hopefully get a good one and since I lost the receipt even though the battery was freshly marked with a sticker and I showed my bank transaction for the purchase I was told I have to buy a new one. Asked to speak to the manager and he wasn’t helpful at all and rude. Usually I’d never make a bad review but i feel like I was treated unfair over a battery that comes with a warranty that only worked for a few days

I arrived at noon to search for a used part for my vehicle. There were a lot of customers but there was still plenty of parking available. When I came in the door, I was quickly greeted by friendly staff. I mentioned what I was looking for, and that I had never been there before. Staff member briefly and clearly explained the process of entering the yard, and finding parts. The entire yard was mapped out clearly, and easy to navigate. I had a small container with a few tools, that was briefly inspected on my way in, and on my way out, which is customary. Admission to the yard was $3 and is good for the entire day, with proof of payment at entry. At my request, the staff gladly gave me a price for the part that I was searching for, before I went in the yard. Overall, the staff was friendly, the yard was organized, and salvage cars were parked neatly in rows, that were easy to navigate and access. To be well prepared, you can even look at their website, and see what cars they have in the yard that might be compatible with your search. I found this feature to be very useful. I would gladly go to this business again.

The LKQ pick your part yards used to be great places to buy used parts. The parts prices were reasonable and you got a free 30 day warranty on parts. That's all changed in the past year. The prices on many parts have doubled or tripled and now you have to pay for a warranty on a part that may or may not work when you get it home. On many items , they've raised their prices so high that you might as well just buy NEW parts online for practically the same price. I've been a customer of these LKQ junkyards for over 20 years and it's sad what they've become now.

They picked up my jeep at work on a Thursday, and it was ready the following Tuesday. Alex was fantastic. I'm very pleased with the professionalism and great work. I highly recommend gulf coast. Thanks guys!!!
