Thank you for contacting O'Reilly Auto Parts. I am sorry for the poor customer service you have received from our different O'Reilly departments and can assure you this matter will be addressed. To confirm, you and I just spoke over the phone not to long ago about needing to escalate this matter to the Regional Manager ******. Please allow the Regional Manager time to review this information and he will follow-up with you as soon as possible. ****** ******** failed to tighten and secure my new and LOOSE battery installation she placed.
*May 2nd, 2023/Patty unexpectedly to discuss my ongoing battery issues. To email me. Non-compliant with my communication limits.
*May 3rd, 2023: Contacted to seek resolution, ******/Internet: spoke rudely and fastidiously. I urged him to please slow down and articulate so that I don't have to guess, he accused me of insulting him and threatened to end the call. I hung up out of utter shock.

Please accept our sincere apologies for the poor shopping experience ***** had while visiting our South San Francisco store located on **** ****** ********* and while speaking with our Team Members at our corporate office regarding her concerns. We have addressed this matter appropriately with each Team Member involved to ensure that all of our associates are aware of the proper customer service we expect as a company.
***** spoke with two of our Customer Satisfaction agents on 05/02 in which it was advised when starting her vehicle it is making a "stalling noise" in which was present before the new battery was installed, and why we had concerns with this explaining it would be in her best interest to have the vehicle taken to a repair facility for further diagnosis. We understand there were concerns with one of the bolts, possibly on the battery hold down bracket, not being securely tightened in which was explained to have been tightened properly by ***** when getting back to her home.
When ***** spoke with one of our Customer Satisfaction agents on 05/03/22 it was asked at this time, after a lengthy conversation, what we can do to assist with this because we still did not have a clear understanding of what ***** was seeking as far as a resolution regarding this matter. We understand ***** received an email response from our Regional Manager, ******, in which he had apologized for the experience ***** had, asking what he could do to help with this as well in which at this time it is still unclear of what type of resolution ***** is seeking.
At this time, we do not have the ability to provide ***** with her old battery as it was turned in on 04/06/23 for the core, as when speaking with one of our Customer Satisfaction agents on 05/02 had requested a battery like she had in her vehicle previously. The SuperStart Extreme battery ***** purchased and had installed on 04/06/23 is the direct fit battery for her 2003 Honda CR-V and will carry a 3-year limited warranty. If at any time there are concerns with the battery ***** is welcome to visit any local O'Reilly for assistance in which if the battery is found to be bad our Team would be happy to assist with replacing the battery.Customer Answer

******, of the O'Reilly's "Corporate" Level, repeatedly, disrespectfully, immorally and profusely focused on how long we were on the telephone for. I.e.: You have been speaking on the phone for 25 minutes (and/or) We have been on the phone for some time....with this heinous, crude, self-absorbed and negligent trauma, I had to mentally/psychologically distance for a period of time to recollect my thoughts as well as do my best to digest this crass experience.

I purchased an upper ball joint for my truck from them sometime in May of 2022. It was professional installed at a nearby shop that very same day. Les than 24hrs later that ball joint broke in half. By doing so it broke everything on that side (lower ball joint, inner and outer tire rod, sway bar link, axel, hub bearing, tire) Had truck towed to shop again. It was ruled as an defective part. Spoke to the manager on duty at O'Reilly's and was informed to have the part taken off and bring to the store to be inspected and possibly start a damage claim. I did so, it was then confirmed that it was indeed a defective part. Started the process and was told to bring in an estimate for the repairs. Which I also did. From that point on was given the run around. From the claim being did incorrectly twice. Which took months to get done correctly. To me having to call the corporate office claim department to get info and make a complaint. Almost a year later and several more calls to corporate I was informed it was denied by the district manager for incorrect paperwork. And was told I would have to repair vehicle first before receiving a refund for the work that was done from their defective part. Which was never told to me at any point. By neither manager or corporate. I'm a single dad with a fixed income and couldn't afford to have my work vehicle down. Let alone pay almost $2,000 for repairs if that's even the case. I would like for them to stick to what was said. They had me get an estimate I did, so I would like them to pay for my repairs.Business Response

We would be glad to submit a claim to the manufacturer of the ball joint that is at question on behalf of our customer. We would need the first receipt from a certified shop when the ball joint was first installed and a second receipt from a certified shop on a second ball joint being installed and other parts being repaired or replaced due to ball joint damage our customer is claiming.Initial Complaint

Our car needed a transfer case, We got it repaired. We paid $1080.00 for labor and the part was approximately $1153.79. We got the car home and the part was defective. We returned the part to the business and got another part. We had it reinstalled and we had to pay another $1080.00 for labor again. We got home and that part was defective. We returned the part back to the business and got another part from another brand. The first two brands were Doorman, and the third brand was from ********** Craft. We had to pay another $1080.00 to have the third part installed. Now we are out of over @2000.00 for something that was not even our fault for labor. We contacted ******* due to their part being defective, and because O**;*******#**;s did not return the paperwork within seven days they will not reimburse ** our labor cost. So we went back to O**;*******#**;s because it was their error for not submitting the paperwork in a timely manner and was told if the mechanic would have picked up the part they would refund the labor cost but since we picked up the part they said "NO". I would like to be refunded in the amount of $2160.00Business Response

I had some automotive work done on my vehicle, 2015 Jeep Patriot. I was hearing a strange clicking and grinding sound coming from the Jeep on the right front side or axis. I took my vehicle to ********************************** dealership in ******** to have it looked at. There they conducted a diagnostic exam to find the cause. ******, who was my service manager explained to me that the issue wheel bearings, brakes and pads needed to be replaced. So, of course I had those parts replaced. After completion, and as I examined the exterior of the vehicle, I noticed that the wheel locking lugs seemed to appear that they may have been tampered with. It was at that time I decided to go ahead and change them out for new ones.
I went to ********** Auto Parts. To make the purchase. When I arrived at the store (***********************************************************************} a sales representative greeted me and asked what I needed. I preceded to tell Her I need new locking lugs for my vehicle (2015 Jeep Patriot. At this time, she looked my vehicle in her computer and got the parts needed. A purchased was made and I departed the store. I had the parts put on at a local tire shop. After a few days I started hearing a noise that sounded similar to the sound I had previously heard before repairs were made.
I immediately returned to ********************************** dealership. I explained that my Jeep was making a similar sound as before. ******, who again was service manager called the service technician to have a look. After about 3 hours to examination and test-driving ****** called me back to show me what the problem was. The first thing he asked me was where did I get the lug nuts from, so I told him where I made the purchase from. ****** stated that was the problem. I was informed by ****** and the service tech that the locking lugs nuts were the wrong part. Astounded I asked him for an explanation. The service tech showed me where the lugs did not fit. Where the correct size would fit over the rim, these fit in side the rim, causing the lugs to grind in the openings of the rim. He further showed me where the ill fitting caused the rotor, brakes, and pads to warp. The same brand-new items that were purchased a few days prior.
Not having the funds immediately available I explained that I would have to come back. They told me that I needed to immediately replace the lug nuts due to the likelihood the tires could come off while driving. The costs the replace was $131.63. (Receipt attached) After conducting another examination of the wheel damage I was quoted a repair price of $704.00, to replace the new parts I already just recently purchased. (Attached is a copy of the receipt that shows the damage has now been paid for)
I returned to ********** and explained what the problem was. The same store employee again looked it up in her computer and said that the part she showed me had something to do with the tread count. Of course, II didn't understand and she made no effort to explain it. I told her of the damage and she plainly stated that there was nothing she could do. She refunded the money for the wrong part and that was it. I asked her for the number and person at corporate customer service and just point to the door where the information is displayed at the bottom of the door.
I called the customer service number and asked for a manager named *************************@ *************. After speaking to him about the issue, I tried to explain the best I could (not being an auto mechanic). He told me to get a copy of the receipt and a copy of the damage
assessment, which I did. I attempted to call him back and to this day I still have heard from him. So, I continued to contact someone through customer service and was told that he worked in ******** AT THE College Street location. Finally, I thought I was getting somewhere. I went to the College St., location and asked for him. I was informed that he had called in sick. So, I left a copy of the estimate and damaged assessment with a store employee, who assured me that he would get the information.
For the next three (3) trips and numerous phone calls, it was apparent that ******************** had no intention of contacting me or returning my phone calls. This only strengthen the ideal of this store manager did not follow ********** Code of Ethics, or any managerial skills or professionalism. With ******** having approximately ***** stores, I would hope that their customer service is much better than I have currently received.
I feel that O'Reilly Auto Parts is responsible the damaged that occurred to my vehicle due to selling the wrong parts. I feel that if the store employee saw more that one part for my vehicle then she should have gathered more information which she failed to do. In addition, I also feel that the store employee or ******************** basically tried to just sweep this issued under the rug or thought it would just go away. I do hope that this issue can be resolved as soon as possible.
In conclusion, it is my opinion that ******** is responsible damages in the amount of $837.83. All receipts are attached. If any additional information is needed please feel free to contact me.Business Response

Thank you for contacting O'Reilly Auto Parts with your concern. The locking lug nuts purchased from our ********, ** store located on ************************* are correct for a 2015 Jeep Patriot with stock wheels. With all aftermarket lug nuts there will be multiple options depending on style and length. They should always be compared to the lug nuts on the vehicle and upon installation mating surface to lug nut should be verified in order to ensure proper and safe fitment.
We are saddened to hear ******* feels this matter has been swept under the rug and assure this was not our intention. After receiving the paperwork our District Manager attempted to reach out to, *******, but each time was unable to get an answer. We apologize for not following up again and do want to help with this the best we can. With the lug nuts being installed by a local tire shop, if incorrect and could potentially cause a problem, this should have been addressed at the time of installation, in which the tire shop would need to take some accountability regarding this matter.
O'Reilly Auto Parts is happy to assist in providing compensation for half of the repair bill, in which a check would be sent to our ********, ** store made out to ******************************* for the amount of $418.91.

After purchasing a car battery from O’Reillys it was noticed that the positive battery terminal had corroded due to the battery leaking. As the battery was under warranty they replaced the battery but are refusing to pay anything towards the $200 cost I incurred to have the positive terminal replaced. O’Reillys are claiming this can occur any time however, I am 51 years old and have had many cars and never had this issue with any car. Surely if this were the case then both terminals would have corroded and not just the one where the battery was leaking.Business Response
Date: 03/23/2023
Battery terminal corrosion is a common problem with lead acid batteries in which there are a wide variety of reasons this might happen. Lead acid batteries occasionally vent sulfuric acid vapor and hydrogen gas. Corrosion can occur when these gasses react with the heat under your hood and the metal on the battery's terminals. As a battery ages, the terminals become more likely to corrode as well. As part of regular auto maintenance the battery terminals should be inspected for signs of corrosion.

On 12/08/22 our ********, ** store located on ****************************** did sell ******************** a SuperStart Premium battery, Part #: 48PRM, in which our Team did install the battery in his vehicle as the battery in his vehicle had tested bad.
When originally denied the installation and was sent to ********* our Store Manager called ********* to instruct they send ******************** back to our store as we could assist with the installation. Our Store Manager did remove the battery from the vehicle in which was presented to ******************** at the time. Our Store Manager then asked which battery he might wish to purchase, and the SuperStart Premium battery was chosen and installed. The old battery was taken inside and put on the pallet with the other core batteries that were sent back the same evening for recycling. ******************** visited our store again a day or two later and when speaking with our Team felt we charged him for a battery that was not installed. At this time one of our Team Members removed what was required in order to get to the battery, in order to show ******************** we indeed installed a new SuperStart battery in his vehicle. ******************** then left. ******************** had multiple opportunities to reject the battery purchase during the removal, the transaction, and the installation.
When ******************** last spoke with our Regional Manager on 02/10/23 he advised to have never stepped foot into our store, does not know where we keep the batteries, and that he never picked out a battery to be installed. The **** used at the time of purchase was present in our store and could not have proceeded with the sale without ******************** present.
We will stand with our offer that has been presented to ******************** and will consider this case closed. We are unable to provide a refund on our battery unless it is removed and bought in to our store. If our battery is brought into our store for a refund we have a good, used, group 48 battery we can provide for the replacement.
