O’reilly Auto Parts

Nice folks, and a good selection of car care merchandise. They were willing to dig a bit to find the best price on the products I needed. And as a woman, I was treated with respect and treated like a knowledgeable car owner, unlike experiences at some other car places. Needless to say, I’ll be back. Needed a battery, got exactly what I needed, and they installed it right then and there. Good rewards program also.

Super helpful and generous dudes. Fixed up my windshield wiper for no $. Awesome.

Plain and simple this is an auto parts store. But the problem becomes that you hope that the people that are selling you parts have a clue as to what they are selling, this is not always the case here.
On a recent trip I asked what I thought were very basic questions about automotive fluids and the gentleman behind the counter while very nice and polite, could not answer a question that could have a very large impact on the health of my vehicle.
After a few minutes another associate got free and we hammered out an answer that I was comfortable with. On another occasion I went in looking for a replacement bulb and the guy referred me to the dealer. I was on my way out when I saw the bulb in question on the rack, when I asked if it was the same bulb he replied «I’m not sure but if it doesn’t work you can return it.» Some would call this a reasonable solution, the problem was I didn’t drive the car I was working on to the store, if it was the wrong bulb I would have wasted 45 minutes, thankfully it was the right one.
Overall I do recommend this place if you don’t want to go any further down 7^th to get auto parts.
