CHICAGO -- LKQ Corp. has entered into a second amendment to its credit agreement with Bank of America, N.A., LaSalle Bank National Association, JP Morgan Chase Bank, NA and National City Bank of the Midwest.

According to Mark Spears, senior vice president and CFO of LKQ, the increased capacity will give the company more flexibility to expand through acquisitions as well as internally. "We have enjoyed a beneficial relationship with our lending group, and we are pleased that they have the confidence in us to continue that relationship," he said.
