“At the heart of LKQ’s mission statement is to ‘build partnerships in the communities in which we operate”, said Terry Fortner, North American vice president of sales and marketing for LKQ. “We do this both at the corporate level as well as locally across our network. As an industry leader, we take seriously our commitment to the communities we serve, and our commitment to the collision repair industry.” 

Added CIF President Michael Quinn of AirPro Diagnostics, “We are proud to welcome LKQ onto our roster of annual donors who believe in supporting the industry in their time of need.
