After Market News Release: To All Canadian Automotive Distributors

LKQ Corp and the ATK Remanufacturing Division located at 1102 West/North Carrier Pkwy, Grand Prairie, Texas 75050 is pleased to announce the acquisition of Yamato Powertrain Warehouse of Bellingham, Washington. This will give our ATK customers added access of Japanese nameplate products and 5.4 Ford assemblies, while Yamato customers gain added access to ATK’s huge inventory.

Our customers will continue to draw products from our Canadian warehouses in Edmonton and Winnipeg with the central order desk located at 1800-421-3746 in Dallas, Texas. Specialized products familiar with Yamato will still be available from Bellingham e.g., transmissions, T-cases. All Canadian accounts will be treated to a common catalogue and price list; while the Yamato accounts will be issued an ATK account number which will allow access through the central order desk.

ATK Freight Policy in Canada will also be in effect with ATK/Yamato paying shipping charges one-way only. Remanufactured engines or parts are sent collect to a distributor by specified means (or sent prepaid with freight charges being added to its invoice), and core returns are accepted “collect” when shipping by the cheapest available method at class 70 rate to our nearest warehouse and marked “scrap” for rebuilding purposes only in minimum 300lbs per shipment. Cylinder head cores must be returned freight “prepaid”. Transmission assemblies (cores) must also be returned with the freight “prepaid”.

ATK Warehouses are set up to ship overnight to most locations with the exceptions of Vancouver Island, which is 2-3 days. ATK Edmonton Warehouse has inventory replenishment twice weekly usually from our central warehouse in Dallas.

Core credits are issued within 4 days of receipt at our warehouses. Warranty products (credit notes) are also issued within 4 days of receipt at our warehouse in Edmonton and Winnipeg. We don’t use your money! An upgraded warranty policy will be forwarded to all accounts within the year to mirror our original Canadian policy.

We anticipate your positive support of the logistics of our products line. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Western Canadian Team at:
