LKQ joins ILC as motor corporate partner

LKQ UK and Ireland’s Bodyshop division has joined ILC (I Love Claims) as a motor corporate partner.

The partnership will see the two organisations share market insights to further support better outcomes for all parties involved in motor insurance claims.

LKQ said its account managers can actively support repairers with ongoing challenges including: managing work volumes and rising costs; navigating new standards such as Accident Repair Industry Environment Standard (ARIES), which replaced the PAS 2060 as the sector’s environmental standard last year; and access to the training and technical support needed to enable safe, affordable and sustainable mobility.

LKQ also offers a combination of original equipment (OE), aftermarket and Platinum Approved Parts – with all Platinum Approved parts backed by a lifetime warranty and insurer approval.

By combining parts, diagnostics, training and technical support, LKQ said it simplifies the repair chain for insurers and repairers, helping maintain consistency, traceability and compliance in an increasingly complex claims environment.

Chris O’Rourke, Managing Director, LKQ Specialist Business, said: “The future of claims handling depends on collaboration – and that’s what the ILC community is all about: common data, consistent standards and collective accountability.

“We’re proud to be the first supplier partner to join, because delivering better outcomes requires the entire sector to work together.

“By integrating our end-to-end service – from parts identification and diagnostics to technical support and training – we can help insurers and repairers navigate complexity and ensure industry compliance, while keeping costs down and standards high.”
