LKQ Euro Car Parts, the UK’s leading distributor of automotive parts and consumables to the independent aftermarket, has signed a new multi-year partnership with SIXT van & truck to support the maintenance and uptime of its growing UK fleet.

Under the agreement, which runs until 2027, LKQ Euro Car Parts will supply the business’ UK network with its full parts requirement for fleet servicing, maintenance and repair.
The partnership follows close collaboration between the two businesses throughout 2025, during which LKQ Euro Car Parts worked with SIXT van & truck teams to review key vehicle profiles and agree a fixed parts portfolio in partnership with leading brands including MANN+HUMMEL and Pagid, supporting consistent and efficient ordering across the network.
As part of the partnership, LKQ Euro Car Parts will also supply consumables and has worked with MPM to complete a full oil requirement review for SIXT van & truck’s fleet, helping ensure the correct specifications are used across the vehicle parc.
LKQ Euro Car Parts will further support SIXT van & truck through its LKQ Academy training network, providing access to Institute of the Motor Industry (IMI)-accredited courses for technicians and managers, alongside tailored on-site training where required.
Kevan Wooden, CEO at LKQ UK & Ireland, said: “This agreement is about keeping vehicles moving. By combining our UK-wide availability with a consistent parts portfolio and training support through LKQ Academy, we’re helping SIXT van & truck drive reliability, reduce downtime and maintain high standards and excellent service across its network.
“We share a focus on keeping customers on the road and delivering a consistent, exceptional experience. For us, this means ensuring the right parts are delivered faster and providing proactive support when it matters most, so that their teams can turn vehicles around quickly and their customers can get on with the job.”
Jim Williams, Head of Operations at SIXT van and truck, said: ““LKQ Euro Car Parts has taken the time to understand how we operate and what ‘good’ looks like for our network. This partnership gives our teams confidence in the parts and support behind every job and helps us keep vehicles on the road and maintain the same high standards.
“We’re excited to build on what we’ve started with LKQ Euro Car Parts and explore opportunities with LKQ’s specialist bodyshop and HGV businesses, and keep working together as our network and fleet continues to grow.”
