LKQ Engine

[GMC1977]

Ive been thinking about what motor to put back in my Jimmy. Man there are so many choices: 5.3, Cummins, another carb'd 350, a TBI or TPI 350, a big block and the list can go on. I have a LKQ distribution center about 15 minutes from my house and was wondering if anyone had ever bought anything from them? Quality of used products? Good customer service? Any warranty?

I bought my 03 5.3 from them with 43k for $1200. I didn't think that was too bad.

Or maybe not considering he could pick it up from them and save another $200 on freight.

O I say 4bt.

I've read some good things about City Motor Supply in Dallas, no personal experience though.

I got a set of heads done by them not long ago. total bill was 385 or so for a full valve job, all new stainless valves and z28 springs. really good work and great people. oh and they got it done in like 3 days

The LKQ out in Phoenix i went to was more like a salvage yard, i picked up a used transmission for my dads little Aveo last year, ran about $350, they wanted the core back for that price, and have had no issues with it yet.

I dunno, i paid $350 for it, and all i did was pull my truck around back and they loaded the trans in my truck on a small pallet, already yanked from the car, much less labor for me to deal with

I was pleased with everything, but then again this was my first and only experiance with them so far.
