By 2011, Euro Car Parts employed 3,500 people across 89 locations.[9] In October 2011, Ahluwalia sold Euro Car Parts to LKQ Corporation for £280 million, with a supplementary £55 million if targets were met.[12][13][5]

After the sale, Ahluwalia became Executive Chairman of LKQ Corporation's businesses in the UK, Ireland and India.[4] Ahluwalia also sits on the American Board of the company.[4][14]

As of 2018, Euro Car Parts company has more than 300 branches across the UK and employs more than 10,000 people.[15]
