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.

Our District Manager ****** spoke to the customer on 9/18/25. The customer wants the employee who called the police arrested, which would be up to law enforcement, not us. I can have the District Manager or Regional Manager call the customer again if he would like, they are the ones that have addressed the customer's concerns with the store.

Complaint: 23902416

I have reviewed the business' response and am rejecting it because: ********** did nothing after we took the time to speak with and file complaints against their employee who threatened us with violence via the Police. Filing false Police reports is a crime and ********** is apparently Ok with that! As stated, pull the video and audio from the calls and store encounter which prove my point that your employee tried to win and argument with us by using the Police as a weapon. Pull the audio and video and you will see what your employee did! You've lost our business and we will never recommend you again.

Sincerely,

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.

On Thursday August 28th my son ******* went into ********** to return sockets they claimed he couldn't return them with rust and then proceeded to keep them. The employee name was **** ******.

********* Complete Automotive in *************** replaced my alternator using your remanufactured part not once but twice in a 2 1/2 year period. This has caused a great deal of distress. I have supplied you both the original invoice and the warranty (replacement) invoice. Also attached is the vendor invoice so you can look it up on your end. Im seeking a complete refund including parts and labor. The remanufactured alternator can be returned to the Oriellys original location once a new nonreburbished OEM ******* alternator has been installed. I will purchase my own new oem alternator as you can not supply that part. Other than this incident I have had great experiences with your company so I am hoping that this will help restore confidence in that you will do what it takes to retain business. Thank you.

If the parts were purchased by ********* then ********* would have to file a labor claim with our store. If the end customer purchased the ********************** directly from O'Reilly Auto Parts, they will need to take the defective part and the invoice showing the first install as well as the invoice or estimate for the second install stating what the issue is, what caused the issue and the estimate or cost of the repairs to our store and they will submit the information and part to the manufacturer to review for a labor claim. The manufacturer will test the part, determine why it failed and determine what, if anything, they will reimburse.

I purchased an air conditioning compressor for my 2014 expedition. The part did not last 2 months. I returned it and was told that they will not replace it.
Business Response
Date: 08/11/2025
We, as well as the manufacturer, require the purchase and installation of additional parts for the air conditioner compressor to have a warranty. This information can be found here ***************************************************************************** When the customer purchased the remanufactured compressor on 7/7/25, he did not purchase the required items, which means the compressor has no warranty. Had the items been purchased, the compressor would have carried a two year limited warranty.
3) Air Conditioning Warranty
New A/C Compressors
In order to qualify for the available Limited Lifetime Warranty on the compressor, both the manufacturer and O'Reilly Auto Parts require the receiver drier or accumulator and expansion valve or o****** tube be replaced at the time the compressor is installed, as well as the A/C system flushed or an in-line filter installed by a licensed A/C technician and repair facility. We require proof of purchase of the above referenced items and service, without this documentation our compressors carry no warranty.
Remanufactured A/C Compressors
In order to qualify for the available two-year limited warranty on the compressor, both the manufacturer and O'Reilly Auto Parts require the receiver drier or accumulator and expansion valve or o****** tube be replaced at the time the compressor is installed, as well as the A/C system flushed or an in-line filter installed by a licensed A/C technician and repair facility. We require proof of purchase of the above referenced items and service, without this documentation our compressors carry no warranty.

We are an automotive shop in *******, Wi. We had ordered parts for an out of town customer. We were told those ********************** would be in at 3:00 the following day. 3:00 came and went. I called the store to try and get information on when the part would be delivered , so I can tell my customer when his vehicle would be ready. I was told that the part was there and they had forgotten to send it out to us. Not a problem at this point. ***** ( the counter person) told me it was out on the truck for delivery. Another hour goes by, no part.i CALL AGAIN,Pretty upset by this point. I ask him why that part hasn't been sent out when I was told " it was on the truck". He identified himself as the district manager, his name was ***** *****.and I was completely blown off at this point. I chewed him out and hung up on him. He calls right back , and proceeds to try and blame the issue on every one else, Including me, because " he didn't care for the way I talked to him". Then he proceeded to cancel the part delivery without informing us. I had that out of town customer sitting here for hours before we realized that we were not going to have that part that day. I ordered it from another suppiier, and had to put the customer up in a motel room overnight and give him a rental car, so he could get around while he was in town, at great expense to myself. Over the last few months , we have lost several life long customers due to this issue with them. I would like clarification that this complaint has not gotten ignored.
