Lkq Corporation - Like Kind Quality?
The name of the company should be Like *** Quality. My insurance company, GEICO, insists on using *** parts from these clowns when it comes to auto repair rather than parts a repair shop suggests.
Here is my current state.
I had a mechanical breakdown claim with GEICO involving my Chevy truck's 5 speed transmission a few years ago. The Chevy dealer suggested a Jasper remanufactured unit at a cost just short of $3K. GEICO decided to cheap out and would only pay $2K for a "remanufactured" unit they would get through LKQ. GEICO told me I could kick in the extra $1000 for the Jasper.
The Jasper unit would have been guaranteed for 3 years/36K miles and the LKQ for 2 years/24K. The LKQ never made it and had to be replaced. The replacement never made it so GEICO had to buy another unit at $2000 with the same guarantee. My truck sits at the Chevy dealer right now as that unit has failed.
I have talked with LKQ and the plant in Texas where these transmissions are supposedly "remanufactured". I think GEICO is buying junkyard units from LKQ.
If these are remanufactured units LKQ should be shut down forever.
Reason of review: Bad quality.
Monetary Loss: $500.
