Lkq's prices are outrageous, support a local junkyard if you can.

[@Trippysticky_Stonerxx]

I got a warranty for parts and Labor Day

[@Savii-Jo]

Here I am wearing my carmaspeed SnapBack and watching this on break. Absolutely love your channel. Keep up the good work! 🙏🏽❤️

[@Gabriel-ct2wn]

I like seeing Randall get more air time at the end of this video. You can tell he’s into this motor build. Have fun!

[@willsmitheson]

we need a hoodie and a pull over sweater added to the carmaspeed shop

[@jakepalmer1747]

Tank shirts too!

[@ethansimpson4606]

[@TheDukewilson]

Such a cool process, I never thought it would be so interesting! Love the video!

[@HugoHardinge]

Wicked video Cam. Extremely well done! Keep it up boys

[@andreweasley2569]

Really good information for my first time seeing one of your videos. I signed up keep'em coming!!

[@HorsePower19]

Great video and good looking out because I was gonna take a chance on a junk yard in Dallas and buy an engine but the video you’ve shown shows how they really clean it up and properly store it and I like how they put it pallets and ship it to you…They warehouse and how they run their business is so organized

[@kingg660]

So where would u recoomendd odering a engine swap at cuz im in dallas as well i was. Looking for a cobra engine apreciate the help 🙏

[@Iamtruesdale]

I use to work at lkq they literally have everything

[@simplyeddiie8853]

honestly that is pretty impressive.

[@averyminnick6883]

This bout to be a big role all over the car culture. Keep it up!

[@alb3484]

This is cool af. I was glued to the tv the entire video

[@superd0fad0]

If you add the cost of removing the part, cleaning it, storing it in a specific place and the staff that is in charge of handling it.. In the end, the cost of that used part is almost the same as that of a rebuilt/refurbished one sold at any auto part store.

[@customfantasyhotwheels]

Yup. LKQ is expensive. I rather save money by doing the removal myself at U-Pull & Pay.

[@kingdeuce7873]

I personally work in such an environment as a sales rep. It’s crazy the amount of product we move and who we ship stuff to. Now don’t get it twisted your not going to land on a Jdm gold mine or old school muscle car parts. But for newer late model stuff the inventory is endless.

[@customfantasyhotwheels]

"...you're* not..." you + are = YOU'RE

[@Wayzor_]

This one earned my Snapback purchase. Keep it up!

[@johnbehneman1546]

GREAT VIDEO CAMERON!!!! TOTALLY AWESOME EDUCATION!!!! A GREAT SOURCE FOR PARTS FOR YOUR DAILY DRIVER!!!!

[@keroro77]

woha this video is so cool! did not even know that junkyards have that much of inventory, really interesting!!

[@j_COL7]

Absolutely interesting video I loved it

[@felipeherrera6118]

Yo brotha mad respects, youre the reason i got a mazdaspeed 3

[@andersj9938]

Oh man I'm sorry

[@ghostrider2664]

OK this is AMAZING. LKQ is SO much more than I thought. The Walmart of junkers.

[@jewelbrown1403]

I just checked out their website. I can’t believe the prices. I need an engine and I don’t know if I need to get the engine module so I have to wait to call them on Monday to get more information. Thanks for this video it’s so helpful to me as a woman who didn’t know what to do about buying a car engine. ❤

[@ismaelgadid1529]

Can u pls give an update how much was the total??

[@ceebo392]

I miss AZ man I need to know where something like this is in illinois

[@shawnpa]

Excellent video. I found lots of parts online at Ohio locations. Thank you.

[@camhoff5333]

Can you tell us how much you paid for the engine?

[@mohanrajs2205]

Thanks information bro

[@johnbehneman1546]

I LOVE IT!!!!! LKQ!!!!

[@InevitableJ-]

What’s the best full car scanner in your opinion

[@adammarks9115]

Do you plan on finishing this series? I’d love to see the rebuild after you sent it to the machine shop.

[@matthowell8985]

I live in the Phoenix area as well. Motor went out in my MC Miata. I'm looking at trying to put a 2.5 L ecotec/duratec In the Miata.

[@ray8916]

LKQ has good stuff and good warranties but they are by far the most expensive junkyard out there

[@him1603]

Any other options? For engines ?

[@ray8916]

@@him1603 just your local junk yards I don't know where you're from but here in South Florida LKQ owns most of them but in the you pull and pay yards you never know what you're going to get when you ordered directly from LKQ you're getting auction but products much better I know exactly what happened to them and how they happened miles better product but I had to say your local junkyard or look online maybe offer up or marketplace

[@maniackmack1590]

Yup I'm a pick n pull kinda dude I'll do it myself

[@extremeballer625]

hey does anyone know how to register a car with an engine swap in Arizona Maricopa county? I can't find any reliable information from ADOT or AZMVD

[@Jnlix_Cvstrx]

Lmao im on break watching the same TSP and Stock pickers i use being used in this video 🥲🤣

[@ghostrider2664]

So we have an LKQ Junkyard here in Austin. But I don't believe that we have a facility like this huge one that you were at. Is that like the main facility where you routed to when you call the 1-800 number or what? Because I'm looking for a replacement engine for a Jeep Renegade but I know that the junkyard here in Austin never has any Renegades it just doesn't ever have any Renegades so I'm going to have to get it from somewhere else. Would this be the place this Phoenix location? Let me know

[@Dunwoody74]

lkq, it's a monopoly they wanted to get rid of all the junkyard but failed, but if you need an engine that a junkyard doesn't have, by all means, go for it

[@h2o40fpv]

Wow great place .😮

[@puffyg2050]

s14 subframe swap it trusts me and just put gktech suspension and your good and it would ride better for drifting

[@CalVlogz]

How much was the 5.3?

[@benjamincardenas98]

If you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay for that 5.3

[@ThaHammieJaassee]

Junk yard engines are 249$ with 49$ core charge so around 300ish after taxes take 400 to the junk yard just in case

[@Titian92]

LKQ is to expensive and now they don’t include the intake.

[@wulfclaw4921]

Man, I wish I had the time and resources to know what to go with. Spun rod bearing on a 3.8L Jeep. Sounds more common than I knew. Just not a lot out there.

[@guitargeometry]

wtf a 240 hold up i’m missing something here

[@rawrbrz]

that place is the definition of a logistical nightmare, yet somehow theyve figured it out. crazy

[@brandonpena3516]

Where do you get your 93 octane gas for the stage 2 GTI?

[@CameronAlford]

You can run 91 no problem with that tune. You will make slightly less power but it won’t hurt the engine

[@brandonpena3516]

@@CameronAlford i have a Mk6, does it also apply for it?

[@CameronAlford]

Yes

[@CameronAlford]

If it’s unitronic I am 100% positive

Just don’t buy from copart. I have a Dmv license and can bid on their auctions. Their cars are total junk. Should be scrapped.
