LKQ

Lkq Corporation

A global distributor of alternative vehicle replacement parts, LKQ supplies aftermarket, salvage, and reconditioned collision and mechanical parts to repair shops across North America and Europe, plus specialty accessories for RVs, trucks, and boats. Founded in 1998 by a former Waste Management executive, it consolidated thousands of independent junkyards—and its name comes from the trade term "Like-Kind-Quality," meaning recycled parts considered equivalent to new ones.
