LKQ Janesville, WI RIPPED ME OFF. ANYTIME YOU DEAL WITH THEM, GET ALL PROMISES/WTY IN WRITING THROUGH THE US POSTAL SERVICE. I bought a used transmission from them to replace one in my car that went bad. Thier agent said, would you be interested in a 24 month warranty that covers parts and labor? I said well, if it covers the cost of putting in a different transmission why not? THE LKQ INSPECTED TRANSMISSION LEAKED FROM A HAIRLINE CRACK IN THE HOUSING>>>OK no problem, I called the guy I bought it from and he said ok sending a replacement. The replacement was installed and works fine. When I called and asked LKQ to PAY FOR THIER ERROR, EVERYTHING CHANGED! OH LKQ CAN ONLY PAY FOR THE PART WARRANTY IS NO MORE. They have not even reimbursed for the core after a month.
The agent who sold me the transmission was apologetic and faxed me a US Tax form? Then connected me with Charlene who said why did he send you here???? and transferred me to a guy in "WTY". What a joke. He said I don't know I will have to connect you to TOM. Well some JERK called me 3 hours later. I a loud overbearing assinine voice said, " BLA BLA BLA". I WARN EVERYONE OUT THERE WHO NEEDS A PART TO GET WRITTEN "PROMISES" FROM LottssaKindaQueasey parts deals. I could have purchased the trans from many other recycling yards for less money, but I mistakenly went to LoseKoinQuickly. NEVER AGAIN
