LKQ Nor-Cal – Reno

This is the ABSOLUTE WORST engine supplier I have seen in my 40 yrs of automotive experience. I purchased a REBUILT V6 jeep engine and when it came the crate had water in the bottom of it and the engine and its components had surface rust. It also had carbon build up on the pistons and the morons that built it also painted over the intake sealing surfaces and down into the runners. In other words they put USED pistons back on a REBUILD and painted every surface and hole on the engine. I had also purchased a 2.0 Dodge Neon engine and it FAILED within a month and after 6 months of going in circles with their warranty dep they denied the claim. That engine had so much surface rust that heat tabs could not be applied. This company is to be AVOIDED at all cost. They are crooks that sell junk and do not stand behind ANYTHING they sell!!! I wish i could give NEGATIVE STARS

I would like to thank Johnny Marshall from LKQ in Reno and also Sharla Napier their Social Media person. They were the ones that took care of making things right for me after getting a wrong motor for my 2001 Subaru Impreza. Sharla as soon as she heard what had happened got right on it and contacted her managers so that they can get me the right motor. Johnny Marshall contacted me as soon as he heard and apologized for things going wrong even though it wasn’t his fault. He was actually gone during the time period when all this was going on so he had no idea. He still kept following up with me and keeping me in the loop of the whole process of getting me the new motor. Thank you Johnny and Sharla for everything that you did for me and for following through with your word. I was finally able to smog and register my car with the new motor with no issues this time.
