My area just got O'Reilly's Auto parts

[zzyzzx]

Should I stop by? Am I missing anything?

They seem to have bought our some former independent auto parts stores along with some former Pep Boys locations.

Their prices are just as high as everyone else. Buy there if you can't wait for an online order to arrive.

Oreilly's has been consistent. We all certainly need retail auto stores.

Not much different from Advance Auto or AutoZone. Nothing to go out of your way for.

The help can be hit or miss, AF selection weak, but OF selection top notch.

I take my waste motor oil there. The stores are very wall laid out, neat and tidy. Almost nobody ever but the counter guys there.

They carry Wix branded filters and turn rotors. Operationally much better run than AAP.

I use them just about as much as Autozone because they sometimes have things that Autozone doesn't carry and vice versa. I occasionally shop at our local Bumper to Bumper when they have something neither of the other two offer. B to B is usually more expensive but not always. We don't have any local Napa or Pep Boys.

Microgard Select oil filters. Just about the best available. $9.99 highly recommended.

I’m seeing more and more O’Reilly’s down here in Florida.

AAP is still the king of auto parts in Florida….. Auto Zone is a distance 2nd place.

They're neck and neck with NAPA for me as the "best" B&M auto parts store. They seem to always have the right adapter doodads for brake lines and whatever else I'm trying to cobble together.

This is what I am expecting. But I will still stop if passing by just to see it.

i get most of my parts at Oreilly because the one near me is the main warehouse for our area and they usually have the part I need. Price is not special but having the part in hand while working on the problem is a real time saver. They also have a reward program that I take advantage of too.

They're taking over here in the Four Corners while AutoZone sits on their thumbs.

It's stupid easy to open a commercial account and then they'll deliver to you and you suddenly have access to a lot of oddball stuff next day (or 2-3 days if it's not at your closest dist ctr). The pro website is easier to navigate than their retail side, and the part interchange function is somewhat useful.

Around me they deliver to ranches and farms that only order once or twice a year (my drivers complain no one is around and they never know where to leave the parts). I'm down a BFE road on 35 acres and they bring me parts several days per week.

I say support 'em -- they're doing better and trying harder than 90% of retailers these days, which, admittedly, is a low bar.

 

[AutoMechanic]

Most of the tools are pretty nice. Other than that my last resort mainly because the staff is awful at the one that’s a mile from my house.

 

[Braapdaddy]

The commercial account i have beats the AZ price almost always....the delivery trucks make about 3 warehouse runs a day

My account is set up to save the most on brakes and shocks when compared to walk in customers

They will often order a part from the warehouse just incase I may need it and just send it back if I end up not needing

All friends and relatives oil changes I use the Orielly bag in box oils in-stock

 

[Wireman1987]

They’re alright I have no issues with them.. they came through for me on a Saturday afternoon had rear rotors delivered to the store thats 5 mins from my home in an hours time reasonably priced - military discount win win here.

I've said the same thing on other parts store threads but I'll repeat it. In my area, the only parts store where the employees aren't brain dead mouth breathers is O'Reilly. Their prices are high but I just can't stand my local Auto Zone or Advance Auto. I like all the Power Torque brand hand tools I've gotten at O'Reilly.

Buy their house brand parts, majority has lifetime warranty

When they opened here originally years and years ago they had some grand opening sale on stuff that were specific to that store. Might be worth checking out if your driving by anyway.
