Anyone with any business sense will tell you successful business are based off rapport, and treating people right. I rub your back you rub mine.

No one is going to continue to work with/buy from you no matter how cheap your prices are if you don't treat them right.

Now if you say they are great to work with on the dealer end of things, great.


Now on the other hand you mention how they have their "policy's". They have to check your toolbag to weed out thieves, so what. People really don't mind, but there is a right and wrong way of doing things. Treat a good potential customer like they are a "thief" and you can bet a few others will hear about it (like we did). I'm surprised Big Chris didn't mention the word "lawsuit" in his posts, which goes hand in hand with these types of scenarios.
But thats where youre mistaken. LKQ employees dont treat EVERYONE like that. Its just the people at their counters & at their yards. I buy close to 20k in parts from LKQ in parts every month, i get great service & great pricing from them and honestly, i check them before i call anyone else. And sure you can take that route but everybody is a "good potential customer" till they steal/thrash some shit. If every one that 'hears' about this like 'yall did' then that will be perfect for them. They save themselves the trouble and potential hazards of customers, and cut back on having employess while mainting the before mentioned 90% of business.
