It went public on Nasdaq in 2003 and entered aftermarket collision parts with its 2004 acquisition of Action Crash Parts. The 2007 acquisition of Keystone Automotive Industries further expanded that business.

It completed the acquisition of German distributor STAHLGRUBER in 2018.

Zarcone succeeded Robert L. Wagman as president and CEO. LKQ sold PGW’s aftermarket glass business in 2022 and acquired Uni-Select in 2023, adding its Canadian aftermarket and North American refinish-distribution businesses; later that year LKQ sold Uni-Select’s UK business, GSF Car Parts. Justin L. Jude became president and CEO in July 2024, succeeding Zarcone.
