(LKQ), a maker of “alternative” replacement automotive parts, has gained an edge in the U.S. market by using recycled, refurbished, and remanufactured parts that cost 20% to 50% less than those of the original equipment manufacturers.

LKQ also offers 96,000 parts manufactured by companies other than the original manufacturer.
