O’Reilly Auto Parts

They had a small plastic retainer clip I needed for my fuel filter connection that I was unable to find at another auto parts store. Good service too. I was in and out in just a few minutes.

Okay, I know I’ve completely fooled you with all my talk of spinning rims and suspensions ^_​^ but I’m not a car person. I can check my oil and tire pressure and pump my own gas, but otherwise I’m not very knowledgeable.
And then one of my headlight bulbs burned out, and I realized I needed to get that sucker fixed. After some recommendations on where to go, I heard that O’Reilly’s would likely have the best prices. So I brought my car to this location, which is really close to where I live. I was told how to change it, and being decently handy, I figured I’d give it a try. But once I got the twist cap off from the backside of the headlight under the hood, I was stuck.
But I decided to head out to O’Reilly’s anyway, because then if I had to take it to a car workshop I already had the bulb.
Not only did they help me find the right bulb to buy (I told them my car model and year, and they found it readily and I paid $ 20), but when I told them I was trying to change it myself but wasn’t sure how, they assured me that if it was easy to do, they’d change it for me. FOR FREE.
FOR FREEEEE!
And the happy ending is that I drove away, almost singing with glee, with two functioning headlights, knowing how to change their bulbs if I ever had to again. And if I forgot, I knew I could always go to my local O’Reilly’s and get their help once again!

The guy at the counter was helpful. He looked up the wiper parts I needed and went to the back and found some oil for me that was not on the shelf.

Wow, was that text message soooo important that you could not take a minute to help me out? Really, really? Oh, and then when I looked confused and you saw that I needed help, you ran away, wow I am amazed.
This place sucks, hard. The service is crap. Instead of helping me locate a particular item for a specific car, I was tossed into the screws section to look and try to find what I’m looking for. There was a big book of parts that I went through and could not find what I needed. Is it so bloody hard to take a friggin minute and look it up on your computer? Really? And then after I wait like a dumbass at the counter no one is there to assist. Double awesome.
worst. service. ever.
