About LKQ
LKQ deals in alternatives to new dealer parts (aftermarket, recycled and remanufactured), plus paint and body shop supplies, heavy truck parts and specialty accessories, and in North America its sellers work from numbered branches whose main buyers are collision and mechanical repair shops. The core seat is the inside sales coordinator, who fields shop calls on price, warranty and delivery time, keys the order, offers a substitute when a part is out and prospects new shops by phone (one Raleigh seat is outbound calls only): 33 of the 70 sales openings, five of them in Wilmer, Texas. Field selling is mostly paint, body and equipment (PBE) and refinish reps, 12 of the 14 outside openings, who sell paint and allied products to body shops in a territory, run consignment stock and work to an annual sales budget and gross margin target. Keystone Automotive Operations, the specialty arm, hires on its own for automotive, RV and marine accessories (SeaWide, NTPStag, Earl Owen): 9 inside reps who phone shops, retailers and enthusiasts, a strategic account manager for eCommerce and marketplace sellers, and outside reps covering Houston to southern Mississippi and Calgary. The rest are a sales operations manager, two area sales managers for the Elitek remote diagnostics service, an inside sales manager and an RV team lead, 3 counter and retail seats, a warranty claims administrator and 4 route sales drivers whose job is delivering parts and collecting payment. Of the 70, 67 are in the US (15 in Texas) and 3 in Canada.
