LKQ UK and Ireland
Motor Vehicle Manufacturing
LKQ UK and Ireland is the UK’s largest distributor of parts and accessories for vehicles, leisure, and marine.
About us
We are an integrated group of four market-leading businesses, which comprise the largest and leading distributor of parts and accessories for all makes of car, motorbike and commercial vehicles, caravan, motorhome, and marine sectors. We’re part of the LKQ Corporation, a Fortune 500 company which is the world’s largest auto parts provider. Each of our businesses – LKQ Euro Car Parts, LKQ Bodyshop, LKQ Leisure & Marine and Digraph – is the biggest in its respective markets and has the broadest product availability, as well as the largest geographic coverage of any of their competitors. But parts and products are just one facet of our group. We are also a major provider of professional training courses - LKQ Euro Car Parts and LKQ Bodyshop are the largest training providers in their industries through independently accredited, best-in-classes courses from LKQ Academy. We’re helping to equip people like auto technicians with the skills they need in the industry’s future, such as to work on EVs, and on how to market their businesses and provide a better customer experience to help them to compete in the world of tomorrow. Much of our customer base is made-up of thousands of independent small businesses with many of them facing not just technological disruption but legislative challenges and anti-competitive practices by global businesses. As LKQ UK and Ireland, we can champion their rights with the decision makers that matter and work in concert with major trade bodies to act as their voice, with some major successes in recent years such as the recently introduced Motor Vehicle Block Exemption Order. We pride ourselves on being a responsible business that’s deeply invested in its industries and communities and committed to a sustainable future.

You may have seen that overnight many businesses have been impacted by a global issue that is beyond their control, unfortunately this includes ourselves. We wanted to let all our customers and partners know that we are still open and operational. We are working as quickly as we can to try and resolve the issue and, in the meantime, continue to offer you the best service we can. We thank you for your understanding.
