O’Reilly Auto

This place is good because the employees are knowledgeable about the products that they carry. Also they are very helpful as to where to find things in the store. Furthermore, they are able to give recommendations about additional items that may also work for you. The price is good on shelved items; however, I have consistently been able to find the exact same products for far less on the inter-​webs ;) That said, if you need it fast (can’t wait for shipping) then it’s a quick stop to get you rolling again. Most recent purchase… Valve cover gasket for only 7 – 8 bucks. Takes care of that pesky leak! Note: I was going to get an exhaust manifold for my Jeep, but the price was far too high… $ 212 + tax compared to the $ 87 total that I paid on ebay. One thing that I should add, parking is a bit of a pain (depending on the direction that you are coming from) and the lot does fill up (depending on when you’re there.
Happy wrenching!

My battery died and I had to get a jump from AAA. They offered to replace the bad battery (they did a nice diagnostic) for $ 120 installed which seemed high to me. I figured I would get it at O’Reilly and save a few bucks.
The next morning I took my battery into the store and they charged me $ 137. I was flabbergasted at the price but what could I do.
I checked afterward just down the road at Battery Plus and their high quality battery was $ 107…$ 30 less. So I feel ripped off on my purchase and not so inclined to buy from these guys again.

It looks pretty much unchanged from the Kragen it used to be. They have your oil, steering wheel covers, floor mats, fuzzy dice, wiper blades, seat covers, cleaning supplies, not to mention engine parts for god knows what with wheels. They say they will even install blades for free when you buy them there. I think you gotta ask since no one offered to install mine. No biggie, I woulda said no since I installed them myself in the time it would take me to wait for them to be available.
