I purchased a alternator. Paid 300.00. Then took to my automotive shop, Paid 400.00 for install. Within 2 weeks the alternator is out. I am being charged again for labor and missing work. Sols a bad part. The store should be responsible for this repair! I was almost killed in the intersection when my car stalled.Business Response

We would be happy to assist the customer with filing a labor claim with the manufacturer of the part. We will need the following taken to the store where the customer purchased the part: the defective alternator, a copy of the invoice showing where it was installed by a licensed ASE Certified mechanic, an estimate of invoice showing where it had to be installed again. This will be sent to the manufacturer who will test the part, determine why it failed and decide what, if anything, they will reimburse. Once the part is sent to the manufacturer the process for testing and to get a response back typically takes 6-8 weeks.Initial Complaint

Faulty Battery Installation
On 10/15/2023 at approximately 6:30 pm for a battery to be installed, ( spoke with Travis to make sure had a battery in stock). During installation *** ****** was having problems with taking cables off and on, ( making contact with metal of car arcing sparks from battery connection). *** ****** handed driver ****** ****** the hold down and bolt stated couldn't mount back on battery tray. *** ****** got home said check engine lite was on.
Return to O Rielly on 10/16/2023 approximately 11: 00am spoke with **** (asst. mgr. ) found cables were loose as (loose connections to battery post). **** ending up installing and tightening all connections and mounted hold down on battery explained to him check engine lite was on , ran a code which stated voltage to ecm ( electric control module). They were not able to diagnose any further.
On 10/19/2023 took car to dealer for further diagnosis found ecm faulty code p0604 Internal Ecm Ram fault need replaced. After ecm installed system was good ( no check engine lite) no codes.
Comment about loose connection
If it loose to the point of interrupting the circuit to the point the car ecm and / or alternator can get damaged due to voltage spikes created every time the cables looses connection..
*** ****** had arc battery couple or so times could have damaged ecm but i believe loose connections was fault, left battery unsecured, left battery and cables loose which could have resulted in short to electrical system
Thank you

On October 14 2023 I went to o reillys to get coolant. The employee looked at a piece of paper and then walked to get the coolant, and he handed it to me, he stated it was for my jeep 2018. I told him the VIN to look up and make sure it was correct. The price was 21.79 he told me I didn't need the Vin number.
Now my vehicle is in the shop at napleton and it cost 4600 to repair because the wrong coolant was put in my vehicle. Due to the wrong coolant being put in I need a new radiator, gaskets etc. The wrong coolant mixed with the correct coolant and it turned to gel destroyed my entire engine. The car dealership has documented the wrong coolant, and the repairs, and what my jeep model ms 90032 manual specific needed that o reillys did not give me. O reillys has stated it was the correct coolant,
then I was put in touch with the o reillys corporate number. I just keep being told it will be reviewed. No one has called me. My jeep is waiting to be worked on and the bill to be paid. It has been heavily documented by the dealership that the o reillys coolant is the reason for the breaking of my vehicle parts. I have emailed supporting documents to o reillys.Business Response

On 10/13 I called to purchase auto parts (strauts). I am a senior and asked if there was a senior discount and was told yes, 10%. I tried to pay with a credit card and have my son pick them up for me. I have very limited mobility and severe health issues. They would not accept payment over the phone, so I provided my son with cash and he drove to get them. He said they wouldn't honor the senior discount when he got there because he wasn't a senior.The next day, Saturday, my wife stopped by with the receipt and asked them to issue a refund for the senior discount, and the store clerks proceeded to argue they never give price adjustments, EVER! While still in the parking lot, she called customer service and was on the phone for over 1/2 an hour. The *** (*****) was sympathetic, but said she couldn't help, but would have the district manager call us. He never did, but the store manager called on Tuesday and just said "I'll look into it". All the information was provided previously to the ***, so not sure what he needed to look into. I am including the information from the store receipt..,Store location: ***************************************, (Ziaire, Drawer 5, 3273WS181) and invoice 3273-120135. Of course he never called back, so I called again just yesterday (Oct 26.) and he not so nicely told me to take a hike.There seems to be a lot of issues lately with customer service and dis-respect for seniors, but this was over-the-top. They've overcharged us - we were only requesting the money owed. I'm equally frustrated with the amount of time we spent trying to get them to refund the money owed (including my wife actually driving there). They appear to be laughing at the situation.Business Response

I spoke to our District Manager *****. He has called the customer twice, most recently on 10/17/23 and left voicemails but did not receive a call back. ***** spoke to our Store Manager who said he spoke to the customer on 10/26/23 and explained that we cannot provide a senior discount to someone who is not a senior citizen, just like we would not be able to provide a military discount to someone who has not been in the military. The Store Manager said we would be happy to provide the discount, but the customer would have to be the one to come in to the store. The customer told our manager he would start shopping elsewhere. If **************** would like the senior discount applied to his purchase, he can go to our store at ******************************************************************** and see our Store Manager ***** who will re ring the items and refund the difference between what customer was charged and the senior discount.Customer Answer

I am rejecting this response because: I went to the store today. Assistant manager **** was unaware of the situation and called the store manager. Store manager said he knew nothing about this complaint,and told **** to tell me if I wanted to come in Monday to discuss this I could. I cannot believe this. I have driven there twice (and this is a 70 mile round trip), and both times I was told they can't help. NO, I'm not going back a 3rd time - this is totally out of control. Sounds like I'll never be issued the difference for the the wrong price.

I went to O'Reilly Tuesday 11/17 to get my battery tested. My battery was bad so I purchased a battery for $206.99. They came out and took out the old battery to replace it with the new battery. In doing so they hooked the battery up backwards and killed my car completely. I had all my windows down and the sunroof open. They told me a fuse was blown when he hooked it up wrong and they couldn't find that part anywhere in Louisiana. All they could do was offer a car cover to cover my car until the part came in. I wasn't comfortable with leaving my car completely open with just a cloth cover for anyone to vandalize in the parking lot. I got American Towing to pick it up and bring it to the Honda Dealership which they put it in a shop until they could run a diagnostics on it to see what damage was done hooking it backwards. The battery had a dead cell from hooking it up backwards so they replaced the battery, ran a diagnostic test & replaced a 125 amp main fuse. The tow bill was $140.00 & the dealership bill was $682.79. I do not feel anyone paying a $600 dollar a month note would leave their car open in a parking lot. I feel O'Reilly should be responsible for the tow bill and Honda dealership bill. The reginal manager told me to bring the bill to the store and they would see if they were responsible for any of what they repaired on my car. He also told me they were not responsible for the tow bill.Business Response
Date: 10/25/2023
The store ordered the main fuse for the customer and told her it would be two days before they received it. The customer chose to tow her car to the dealership and have them do repairs instead of waiting for our store to receive the part required to fix her vehicle. The customer did not talk to our management prior to having the car towed and dealership complete repairs. Our Regional Manager is aware and will call and follow up with the customer regarding her concerns.Business Response

I spoke with our Regional Manager ****, who spoke to the customer on Friday, October 20. We need a copy of the repair bill from the dealership so that we can see what was wrong with the vehicle and what they repaired before looking into reimbursing the customer. The customer can return the battery she got from us to our store and we will issue her a warranty refund for the amount she paid for it.Customer Answer

I do not have a problem with bringing them the receipt & returning their battery. The fact of the matter is they are making it sound like I should have left the car there for them to work on when the part came in. Not mentioning the fact that my car was completely open with no way to lock it up until they received the part. So I had no choose but to move my car to a safe & secure location that could also make sure no further damage was done after changing the fuse.
Thank you

I am rejecting this response because: This is not a guarantee that they will take care of the towing and the dealership bill I was stuck with after the battery was hooked up incorrectly. I will bring their battery back and if they give me a full refund for the battery I am willing to deduct that amount from the dealership bill of 682.79. With that being said I am still wanting the tow bill of 140.00 and the balance of the dealership bill of 475.80 to be covered by O'Reilly. They can not expect me to have left my car in that parking lot for two days unlocked, windows down & sunroof open. Not to mention allowing them to diagnose the problem it caused to my car by their mistake!

Our District Manager has been speaking to and working with the customer on this issue. The part is not the incorrect part for his vehicle. In order for us to file a labor claim or liability claim with the manufacturer, we need a copy of the receipt where the customer had an ASE Certified shop install the part, a copy of an estimate for repair or receipt of the work having to be done again, the defective part, as well as copies of bills and/or estimates for anything else related to the part failure that the customer is requesting reimbursement for. All documentation and the part will be sent to the manufacturer who will test it, determine why it failed and decide what, if anything, they will reimburse. O'Reilly Auto Parts does not guarantee or reimburse labor on a failed part, that is solely at the discretion of the manufacturer. We cannot file a claim with them for the customer without the required documentation and part.Customer Answer

Since the part was purchased through a mechanic, and the mechanic bought the part from us, the mechanic holds the warranty. Our store has assisted the mechanic's shops with filing labor claims with the manufacturer of the product. Once the manufacturer receives the defective product and documentation for the original installation and showing where repairs have to be done again, they test their product to determine why it failed and they decide what, if anything, they will reimburse. O'Reilly Auto Parts does not guarantee or reimburse labor. The amounts reimbursed on the labor claims to the shops, and subsequently what the shop reimbursed the customer, is not something we have control over or make any decision on. The customer would have to talk to the manufacturer of the part and/or the shop who did the the work if he is not satisfied with what was reimbursed.Customer Answer

On 10/16/23, I purchased Bosch rear wiper blade for $12.99. Without telling me, the cashier, *****, also applied a charge of $14.99 for the manufacturer's defect warranty. Installing the wiper's today, I took another look at the receipt and noticed the charge, which I do not want. WHY IN THE **** WOULD ANYONE PAY MORE FOR THE WARRANTY THAN THE PART IS WORTH? This is a business scam run by this deceitful company.Customer Answer

I PURCHASED A STARTER FOR MY 2004 JEEP CHEROKEE. I NOTICED THE SAME DAY IT WAS PUT ON IT WAS LOUD, MAKING A GRINDING SOUND, AND WASN'T NORMAL.
SO I CALLED THE STORE AND A WOMAN ANSWERED AND SHE WAS RUDE, SO I ASKED FOR THE MANAGER.
THE MANAGER TOLD ME HE CAN GIVE ME THE PERSONAL NUMBER (*****) OF THE PERSON WHO FIXED MY TRUCK, BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME DETAILS ABOUT MY STARTER BECAUSE IT WAS PURCHASED UNDER *****'S BUSINESS ACCOUNT.
1ST OF ALL I CAME IN THE STORE AND WAS WAITED ON **** WHO SCREWED UP THE TRANSACTION ON MY CREDIT CARD, SO I HAD TO USE ANOTHER CARD BECAUSE THE RETURN DID NOT POST RIGHT AWAY.
2ND OF ALL NO 1 CARED WHO BUSINESS ACCOUNT I WAS USING WHEN I PAID FOR IT.
NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THE MANAGER WOULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION. ALL I WANTED TO KNOW WAS IF A SHIM CAME WITH MY STARTER AND HE REFUSED THAT INFORMATION.
IN RETURN I TOLD HIM I WILL NEVER SHOP HERE AGAIN AND I STAND BY THAT STATMENT!!!!

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.
