It is with great sorrow that we remember our dear friend and leader, Dawn Layaou. Dawn passed away recently after a courageous battle with cancer. As the HR Leader for all of LKQ Specialty for 24 years, Dawn's absence will be deeply felt by all.   Dawn had a remarkable no-nonsense approach to people, her role, and the challenges the business presented. She was practical, personable, knowledgeable, forthright and always genuinely herself.   Her presence and contributions will be greatly missed Rest in Peace – Dawn 1955-2025

This is an incredible achievement and a testament to his outstanding career and contributions to the industry. George is an absolute legend and truly the best in the business! Over the years, he has taken on many roles and has made immeasurable contributions to Keystone Automotive and the Warn Group. His dedication, hard work, and expertise have left an indelible mark on our company and the industry as a whole. Thank you, George, for all you've done for the company and the automotive world. Your induction into the Hall of Fame is very well deserved, and we couldn't be prouder of you. Congratulations once again - you are a First Ballot HOF-er!

Celebrating an incredible milestone - Fred Solano's 50th anniversary! He began his career as a warehouse employee in March 20, 1975 as employee #23 and worked in the Exeter, PA warehouse pulling parts and delivering orders to customers. In 1977 he moved over to the sales team and has been a valuable team member and raised two wonderful daughters. Today he continues to have the same energy, enthusiasm and upbeat personality as his first day. Congratulations and thank you for your service and commitment

It's time for the BIG Show in Texas. We have a jam packed week and we hope to see you there.
