LKQ Heavy Truck - LKQ Thompson Motors - Wykoff

Ongoing progress fueled the need and desire for expansion. In 2008, LKQ entered the heavy-duty trucks and parts business and LKQ Heavy Truck was established. Evident from the start was an obvious ability to assist companies, fleets, and independent drivers with reliable and efficient quality parts and services to run their organizations and serve their customers efficiently. The initial success of this Heavy Truck division of the company was apparent and LKQ next focused on a series of acquisitions to further expand the brand. While some companies look to acquire other businesses in an attempt to secure their successes and eliminate competition, at LKQ Heavy Truck we have always had a different approach. We began acquisitions by seeking out big players and individuals such as Goody’s Truck Parts and LKQ Heavy Truck – Maryland who were leaders in the heavy trucks and parts industry. We also wished to connect with those who shared the vision of developing a national network to provide a large and diversified inventory for customers across the globe. Relationships and partnerships with these companies were developed and maintained with multiple family-owned businesses becoming the heart of what LKQ stands for to this day. Today, LKQ purchases vehicles and equipment from individuals, fleets, and companies. We feature major brands with the top engines in the industry such as Mack, Cummins, and Caterpillar. Each and every vehicle that arrives at a yard is meticulously inspected before being disassembled by one of our highly trained technicians to each component or repaired with new or OE parts for resale. Each part is then recorded and photographed before entering into our Nationwide Inventory system with an accurate listing of its description, condition, and quality grade. Everything goes through a full inspection before being available for sale including all engines, drivetrains, transmissions, and differentials. The diversity of LKQ products also extends beyond salvage parts with a large inventory of used resale trucks. Depending on the customers budget and usage, we have a broad inventory that will suffice anyone's needs.
