O’Reilly Auto Parts

These guys are wonderful, I have always purchased my batteries here and they are my go to! Also super helpful re wiring the electrical connection for my trailer hitch. Recently I had a creepy situation at the dealership and drive straight here where both Joe & Mike were beyond helpful testing & replacing my battery!

We recently drove up to Amador in our 2000 Ford F350 truck. The battery light came on, and then we realized our headlights were getting dim– and we certainly were not going to get to our destination! We called another auto parts store first, which was closing at 5pm. When we said we might not get there until a few minutes after 5pm, it was just an «oh well, we close at 5pm– see you if you get here!» They definitely didn’t care to stay a few minutes late to help people in need! We did get there by 5, but they didn’t have the alternator we needed.
Then we called O’Reilly’s, as they were open till 8 pm — and they had the alternator we needed! Yay! Not only that– but when we asked if we could borrow a wrench so my husband could install it, the young man helping us said he would help us install it! (He had gone to school to be an auto mechanic, so we felt comfortable we were in good hands).
Nick removed the old one, put the new one in, did it all very efficiently, and was so polite and helpful. We kept telling each other how incredibly lucky we were to end up there! Nick was so amazingly helpful, and Jimmy was great too. Hope they get a raise soon– they deserve it!
I highly recommend this place: great service, prices, and convenient hours too!
Thanks Nick, Jimmy, and O’Reilly Auto Parts for saving the day for us!!!
