      Oreilly Auto Parts installed windshield wipers that I purchased from them on my car, but forgot to remove hard plastic on the wipers which scratched my windshield. I contacted the store multiple times regarding this issue, and they still have not offered any solutions.

      I have a lifetime warranty on my 2013 ****** Altima alternator. I went in to the same location I originally purchased the alternator from OReilly Auto Parts at ************************************************ .I was told by the employee working counter that they could not honor the lifetime warranty because I had went to another location and I got a refund of approximately ****** for the alternator. I let them know that I have no idea where this location is and how was I able to return it and I have the alternator in my hand! I asked for the other location because I never knew about another location and that sounded like some type of identity issues, as yall just giving a refund of a used part to any random person. I requested they run video footage back for the day they said I came and got a refund from the National store..I also didnt have money to purchase another one. My mechanic took me to the other location located on **********, the employee called it the National store. The manager at that store did give me another alternator and told me that their system shows I got a refund of the part which once again I told them no I didnt not. He also told me he was helping me out and I appreciate that but that is not going to help me when I need the part again. I have contacted corporate office several times and they are aware of the incident and assured me regional manager will contact me. I have not heard from the regional manager and I need the alternator again! My car is currently disabled and I really need it fixed.. lifetime warranty should be honored and it is not!

      I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: regional manager or district manager have NOT contacted me.This is the same response Ive been getting for months. No one reaches out, I have to reach out and still get the same response from corporate. The issue isnt resolved at all and its bad business. If they dont want to give me another alternator or HONOR the lifetime warranty just say that. Also take away that they even offer the lifetime warranty because that is not true. Its frustrating meanwhile my vehicle is still broke down. Im sitting, still waiting on a call back from someone who is probably stealing money from you all.

      I bought a 15mm socket to remove my oil pan drain plug and it stripped the plug. I returned it and complained and asked for a solution. He was rude, stared blankly at me, and said. OK. I said they need to make this right and he said. You need to use plyers or something. I told him he was useless and he called me a m*********** and to have a nice day

      Business Response

      Date: 07/11/2025

      We need the year, make and model of the vehicle that was being worked on. Had the drain plug been previously removed by the customer? We will also need an estimate for the repair(s) customer is seeking stating what the issue is, what caused the issue and the estimated repair cost.

      I called and spoke to our Store Manager ****** at our location at *********************************************************************************** where the customer purchased the part on 5/25/25. If the part was defective when it was brought back to our team, they would have offered a warranty exchange on it. If the part is used but not fixing the problem, we would not be able to refund or exchange it. The customer can take the part to the store and speak to our Store Manager ****** who will look at the item to see if it can be returned or exchanged. The phone number to the store is **************.

Our manager called the police. Customer left and did not talk to police. Our store manager will process a one time courtesy refund on the part if customer returns it to the store and is civil with employees.

      Order#K45560424R21202 Placed an order for a CV axle driver side. Never received the order. Called and spoke to a representative who tracked order and told me the order was delivered to a wrong address. I live in sunrise and they showed delivered to **********. Picture is not my house. Clearly not my issue. This is a carrier issue. Representative said he would file a claim with *** and I would have to wait for a response. Meanwhile I'm driving with broken axle. I asked for a reshipment first he said he has to wait before he can do anything. I said well I can't wait my mechanic needs the part to do the job. My mechanic said to go to auto zone and buy it there. I want a refund back to my original form of payment for my order that I clearly did not receive.

      The customer called us 6/26 stating *** directed him to have us reopen the claim. The customer was instructed that he would need to contact *** as the claim was closed to speak to them about disputing it. The customer called us again on 6/30 and stated he spoke to a woman at *** and she was going to send some paperwork stating they are approving his dispute, and that she had come to his home. The customer called us again 7/1 and said the *** driver had come to his home 6/30 and filled out paperwork and was going to submit it to us. The claim was updated back to in progress and showed *** was searching for the package again. As of 7/2 the claim has been updated to closed and states "package found/delivered."  An email was sent to the customer stating that *** verified the package was delivered. Images attached. OReilly Auto Parts is not responsible for replacing or refunding any order that shows to be delivered in the shipping carrier's tracking. The security of deliveries becomes the responsibility of the customer once the order reaches the addressed location. Neither *** nor OReilly Auto Parts is responsible for replacing product that is missing or stolen from the delivery location.

      6/11/25$263 committed to provide a new item they are selling used scanners for obd1 ports as new. according to 16 CFR 20.1 - Deception generally: This federal regulation specifically states it's unfair or deceptive to:Represent a product as new or unused when it is ******** to disclose that a product has been used or contains used **************************** means or instrumentalities in the hands of others that may mislead consumers about the previous use of products.******** employee admitted that only employees have access to this scanner which means employees are scamming customers selling items that they themselves or others are using, then turning around and selling them as new when the item is clearly scratched and/or damaged. manager shows no care or interest in them clearly selling used items as new and says" what do you want me to do and I'm not discounting or sourcing you a new one" so they want the new price for damaged/ used scanner. again this is against the law and fraud. I believe its going on with multiple ********** in the ***************** since they sourced this second scanner and it was also used when we brought back the first one that had vehicles still stored on it and in a another language but according to ******** this was a new item? in conclusion they selling used items at new prices. when brought to there attention they shrugged there shoulders and said to bad. refused to even show concern. one employee admitted he also would be ****** off. this needs to be addressed as it is against the law.

      On are around the end of 2023/ early part of 2024 in *********, ** I purchased a $48.77 Thermostat Housing for a 2020 Chevrolet Trax ** which exploded on me . . . Upon my having to put an actual dealership GM part and return an ********* Part's Store in ***************, SC for a refund.I'm denied the refund. Upon the day of purchase, I couldn't remember my mobile number and perhaps gave them my email address: ************************* ********* Auto Parts store knowingly sell questionable parts mimicking GM parts with "Unlimited Warranties . . ." When a store recognizes it's "Part--------Thermostat Housing it should honor the part that the customer is returning and refund the "Valued Customer" money despite absent of phone number in system and/or receipt. Rather, they treat them as something fishy or nonbusiness. In closing, I think instead a gave them my email address as mentioned in the forgoing I'm expecting a full refund of $44.77. *********************** Part Store isn't going to go out of business over these little dollars and "Police" isn't "Law," nor "Legislation" unenforcable.

      The customer spoke to our District Manager on 6/11/25 regarding this. We need the purchase date and additional information to locate the customer's purchase receipt to validate the part is still under warranty and was purchased from us in order to be able to assist. This is also because the warranty is to the original purchaser of the part, which we verify with the purchase invoice. We are happy to assist the customer if he can provide the necessary information for us to do so. 

      Our warranty policy, which is available on our website ***************************************************, states:

      1.1) Customer Information
      Once you have provided OReilly Auto Parts with the required customer information, your warranty details are entered into the OReilly Auto Parts national warranty database.
      Please keep all original sales receipts to be eligible for warranty service and product replacement.

      1.3) **************************************** Warranty covers any product that is purchased from OReilly Auto Parts which fails due to a defect in materials or workmanship as long as the product is used normally and in accordance with the purposes it was designed for.
      This Limited Warranty is valid ONLY if you are the original purchaser of the product and may not be transferred

      Purchased a:Super ***************************************** Size 34 750 CCA 120 Minute RC - 34PLT from the ***********, ** location on March 23rd, 2023.I have been having issues with the battery, specifically that it is not holding up to its cranking amps rating and after 4-6 cranks it drops into the 11v range. I took it to the *********** location for warranty ***lacement. After explaining to the *** the issue they said that they will charge the battery and then test it. I asked how many load tests do they do to determine if the battery is bad and they said the machine does one short load test. I then get a call that the battery tested good and I can come pick it up and they will not ***lace it. Upon pickup i look at the test results and all it says is good. There is no cca rating displayed, voltage or duration of load testing that would comply with ********-**** Warranty Act disclosure of warranty denial. I am requesting that my battery be ***laced under warranty and that proper testing and detailed results be displayed to customers upon warranty denials.

BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

    When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

    BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. 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.
