O’Reilly Auto Parts

Wunderbar! Phenomenal! Absolutely friggen fantastic! I am a huge fan of this particular store! I used to live in this neighborhood a couple years ago, and no matter where I have moved in the Twin Cities area, I continue to come back to this location. Why you may ask? Well let me lay it down from you. First, great selection of auto parts. Two, employees are knowledgeable and very helpful. Three, an employee named Chris (seriously, if you ever end up at this store ask for him, he goes above & beyond).
Let me give you an example of Chris’ awesomeness. My bumper had become a hazard on 94 around the Snelling area, and it looked like it was going to completely detach and fly away. My left-​side bumper was being held up by duck tape until I could get it into the mechanic. Needless to say, I was not going to make it to the mechanic. So what do I do? I went straight to O’Reilly’s. I went inside, asked an employee, who happened to be Chris, to come out and help me figure out how to MacGyver the situation. I went in thinking cable ties, but Chris did one even better, we just removed that half of the bumper. Get this, I didn’t buy anything from the store, and he still helped me use a wrench to unscrew the bolts holding the bumper in and remove the bumper. Talk about helpful and above & beyond. Thanks Chris at O’Reilly’s!

Comprehensive selection of parts and accessories. Staff know their stuff. Lots of free parking for the quickie auto parts store parking lot repairs. I like this store.
