Item 7.01. REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE

On August 25, 2011, LKQ Corporation issued a press release announcing that members of senior management of LKQ Corporation will make presentations at the following investor conferences:

• September 13, 2011: CL King’s 9^th Annual Best Ideas in New York, NY

• September 14, 2011: ThinkEquity’s 8^th Annual Growth Conference in New York, NY

A copy of the presentation materials will be available under Presentations in the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website, www.lkqcorp.com, on the presentation dates.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor shall it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

The financial data contained in the presentation materials includes earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) and provides a reconciliation of income from continuing operations to EBITDA. EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

We have presented EBITDA information solely as a supplemental disclosure because we believe it offers investors, security analysts and other interested parties useful information regarding our results of operations because it assists in analyzing our performance and the value of our business. EBITDA provides insight into our profitability trends, and allows management and investors to analyze our operating results with and without the impact of depreciation, amortization, interest and income tax expense. We believe EBITDA is used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in evaluating companies, many of which present EBITDA when reporting their results. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income, net income or net cash provided by (used in) operating activities, as determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. In addition, not all companies that report EBITDA information calculate EBITDA in the same manner as we do and, accordingly, our calculation is not necessarily comparable to similarly named measures of other companies and may not be an appropriate measure for performance relative to other companies.

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
