Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure	Commitments and Contingencies We are from time to time subject to various claims and lawsuits incidental to our business. Some of these claims may involve complex issues that are subject to substantial uncertainties. However, in the opinion of management, based on currently available information, we do not expect that any currently outstanding claims and lawsuits will, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. On April 22, 2026, a purported stockholder of LKQ filed a putative class action (the “Securities Action”) in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee against LKQ Corporation and certain of its officers. The complaint generally alleges that LKQ made certain materially false and misleading statements and omitted certain material information regarding LKQ’s acquisition and integration of Uni-Select Incorporated ("Uni-Select") and Uni-Select’s U.S. operating subsidiary FinishMaster, which artificially inflated the market price of LKQ common stock. The complaint seeks, among other things, unspecified compensatory damages. On June 22, 2026, the court entered an order extending Defendants’ time to respond to the complaint until after a lead plaintiff has been appointed by the court. On October 7, 2026, the court appointed Nordea Investment Management AB ("Nordea") as the lead plaintiff and approved the selection of lead counsel. On October 27, 2026, the parties proposed a schedule for Nordea to file an amended complaint and for briefing on defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss. On May 26, 2026, a derivative action (“Derivative Action 1”) was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee that largely mirrors the Securities Action but is filed by a purported shareholder on behalf of nominal defendant LKQ Corporation against certain current and former directors and officers, asserting both a federal securities claim and breach of fiduciary duty claims relating to the same alleged misconduct during the same purported class period as the Securities Action. Plaintiff seeks, on behalf of LKQ, unspecified monetary damages, disgorgement, and other relief. On June 10, 2026, Derivative Action 1 was reassigned to the judge who is presiding over the Securities Action. On July 24, 2026, Derivative Action 1 was stayed pending resolution of LKQ’s anticipated motion to dismiss the Securities Action. On July 29, 2026, a second derivative action (“Derivative Action 2”) that largely mirrors Derivative Action 1 was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee by another purported shareholder on behalf of nominal defendant LKQ Corporation against certain current and former directors and officers. On August 10, 2026, Derivative Action 2 was reassigned to the judge who is presiding over the Securities Action. On August 11, 2026, the Securities Action court, on its own accord, consolidated Derivative Actions 1 and 2 with the Securities Action. On September 14, 2026, the parties to Derivative Action 2 moved to deconsolidate the derivative actions from the Securities Action and to stay Derivative Action 2 pending resolution of LKQ’s anticipated motion to dismiss the Securities Action. That motion is currently pending. On August 13, 2026, a third derivative action (“Derivative Action 3”) that largely mirrors Derivative Actions 1 and 2 was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by another purported shareholder on behalf of nominal defendant LKQ Corporation against certain current and former directors. On September 11, 2026, a fourth derivative action (“Derivative Action 4”) that largely mirrors Derivative Actions 1-3 was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee by another purported shareholder on behalf of nominal defendant LKQ Corporation against certain current and former directors and officers. On September 25, 2026, Derivative Action 4 was reassigned to the judge who is presiding over the Securities Action. On September 28, 2026, LKQ moved to stay Derivative Action 4 pending resolution of LKQ’s anticipated motion to dismiss the Securities Action. On September 29, 2026, plaintiffs in Derivative Actions 1, 2 and 4 moved to consolidate those derivative actions. On October 15, 2026, the court presiding over Derivative Actions 1, 2, and 4, on its own accord, transferred those actions to the United States District Court for the District of Delaware before it could issue a decision on LKQ’s motion to stay Derivative Action 4 or the consolidation motion filed by plaintiffs in Derivative Actions 1, 2 and 4. As such, both motions remain pending. On October 28, 2026, Derivative Actions 1, 2, and 4 were reassigned to the same judge who is presiding over Derivative Action 3. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome or reasonably estimate a range of loss, if any, that could result from an unfavorable outcome relating to the Securities Action, Derivative Action 1, Derivative Action 2, Derivative Action 3, or Derivative Action 4.
