      Called the ********* Auto Parts Store, store #**** located in **********, ** ***** on a Sunday, 10/19/2025 at 7:32 pm. We asked the store employee to see if a part was in stock. They said no it wasnt in stock. So we gave him the part number and he then said they had it in stock. We asked the employee if they were closing at 8pm and he said yes and we informed him to pull the part that we are on the way so we could pay them once we arrived and to avoid spending time looking for part when we arrived. We arrive at the store at 7:41pm and the doors were locked and the employees were inside the store without uniforms on and would peek around the corner when I knocked on the door as to avoid me. One of the employees, I assume was an employee in plain clothes, came halfway through the store to tell me, rather yell to me through locked doors, they were closed and could not help me at 7:45pm. I could have gone to a different parts store to get the part since I had plenty of time to do so, yet I was lied to by ********* Employee of there closing time. Due to this employee(s), my wife will not have a drivable vehicle in the morning which in return my granddaughter will miss school tomorrow and my wife will miss a whole day of work.(I have to leave to go out of town to work at 1am thus taking our only means of transportation) Most of the above is documented by a live video i took on my phone

      I bought a Miata battery 3/22 that I was told had a 4 year warranty when contacting the company about it not holding a charge. However, when I attempted to have it covered under warranty in store 9/4 but I was denied saying that I bought it with a 3 year warranty when purchased, which is all they could cover me for despite the fact that the same battery now came with a 4 year warranty and that I was promised by another representative that it would be covered after having looked up my purchase and verifying. I went ahead and reluctantly bought the battery again having no other choice but feel as though the company should be liable for issuing a refund of $295 for the battery purchased given the facts.

      Business Response

      Date: 10/13/2025

      The customer originally purchased the battery from us 3/9/22 on invoice ***********. At that time, part ********* had a three year limited warranty, which expired on 3/9/25. The battery was warranty replaced 3/14/23 on invoice ***********. Super Start did change their warranty on AGM Super Start Platinum batteries from a 3 year warranty to a 4 year warranty starting February 21, 2025 for all batteries purchased on or after that date. The customer's battery was purchased prior to this change, and carried only the original three year warranty.

      Their employee said that they would replace the battery that switched from a three year to four year warranty. The company however, refuses to stand behind the word of the employee and a battery that failed to last more than two years so that they can save a **** and cheat their customer under a technicality. The company should be ashamed and shut down.

      I bought an engine filter at this O'Reily's location. I gave them the information they needed to find the part I needed. I bought the filter and had it installed. When I was driving I noticed that my car was acting funny. I took it to an auto shop, and they told me that I would need to have my engine replaced, due to engine oil leaks. I find this unacceptable as I believe that I was sold the wrong part, which caused the oil to leak and resulting in needing a replacement engine.

      Business Response

      Our District and Regional Mangers have spoken to the customer and let them know that we are not accepting liability for the incorrect oil filter being installed and resulting in the engine losing oil and locking up when driven. The customer left a Google review for the store stating that they "installed the part; but it was only barely tight enough to hold. A few miles later; it failed; oil leaked out; and my engine locked up completely." When the customer spoke to our field management through self admission, this customer installed a filter that was loose and did not tighten. They also did not check for leaks before driving. They also gave the store manager the wrong vehicle year when buying the part. He even asked the customer for his license plate number and the customer declined stating he was sure of the year. There is nothing additional that we will be doing to assist this customer.

The next day I called *** told her I did not want another rack and pinion in wanted a full refund of $377.00 cash she told me yes come in so I did with rack and pinion in hand she started doing the warranty refund and now couldn't locate the original receipt, so she called her manager and left me at desk for over 35 min. Alone she finally came back acted like she was still going to do the refund and also stated she would override it but never did. *** said she couldn't do anything without original receipt. *** eventually said to come back tomorrow morning and everything will be taking care of. I left store.

      Incident Report OReilly Auto Parts (Store #*************************)Date of Incident: Sunday, September 15 I sent my father, a 100% disabled Navy veteran with terminal prostate cancer, to OReillys ******************* store (#****) to replace our car battery. For four weeks my back has been out with severe sciatic pain, leaving me unable to drop it myself. AAA jump-started the car, and my father drove with both the vehicle and the old battery for reference.Even then, your staff sold us the wrong battery and told my father it was too hard for OReilly to install. The battery was not even close to correct. Their excuse was that the entire air filter box had to be removed, which was false. The truth: one single bolt secured the bracket. Because of this incompetence, I was forced to install the battery myself. When I called the store to demand action, the employee was dismissive and refused to help. **************** only made things worse, telling me to purchase another battery online and wait for Instacart delivery at 4 p.m.a suggestion that was completely unrealistic. As the VA-registered caretaker of a veteran, reliable transportation is not optional.I returned to the store and fixed the issue myself, and I recorded the entire encounter on video. Instead of providing service, your employee provoked the situation, instructed another worker to photograph our car to antagonize me further, and then escalated by calling police. He stated he would accuse me of threats I never made. Filing a false police report is a crime. Worse, such lies could put lives at risk. This reckless behavior endangered both me and my father.If you do not act, we will escalate. Complaints are already prepared for Yelp, ******, BBB, and the Florida Attorney General. We also have a meeting scheduled with *************************** to pursue legal action for harassment, endangerment, and emotional distress against a disabled veteran and his caretaker.We expect a prompt and serious response.

      We will need to file a labor claim with the manufacturer of the water pump. We will need the invoice number for the purchase of the part, a copy of the invoice showing where the customer had it installed, a copy of the bill or estimate showing where it failed, what the issue is that it caused and estimated repairs, and then the defective part. The customer can take those items to the store they purchased the water pump from and let them know they need to file a labor claim. The store will then get all of that documentation and the defective part to the manufacturer, who will test the part, determine why it failed and decide what, if anything, they will reimburse.

Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

    As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
