I placed an online order for a Master Brake Cylinder for my Truck. It said the part had to be shipped from the hub location and it would be here 02-14-2025. I paid for the part. It took the money from my card. It gave me a confirmation number. Gave me shipping information. I check today 02-14-2025 to see shipping status and it says my order has been cancelled. I call the store and the moronic employee tells me he can't even look up my order. I call the Corporate number and the lady tells me they emailed me and there's nothing she can do for me. I'm left without a part, without fixing my truck and now have to search somewhere else to wait another week for a part I should have had today!!! I'm NEVER TRUSTING ********* EVER AGAIN!! THEY JUST LOST A LOYAL CUSTOMER!!Business Response

We received the customer's order Sun, 2/9/2025 at 4:37:20 PM for *** WC37784 BrakeBest Brake Wheel Cylinder and *** 10-2351 BrakeBest Brake Master Cylinder - Remanufactured. The *** 10-2351 BrakeBest Brake Master Cylinder - Remanufactured was out of stock and the part was canceled Monday, 2/10/2025, at 8:18:13 AM. The system generated an email that was sent to the customer making them aware of this Monday, 2/10/2025, at 8:18:13 AM. When the *** WC37784 Brake Best Wheel Cylinder was shipped later that same day, the system generated and sent another email making the customer aware of that Monday, 2/10/2025, at 5:28:27 PM. The customer then called us today, Friday, 2/14/25 at 09:56 AM stating they received one item but not the other and had no communication regarding it. Our agent explained what had occurred to the customer, and provided information on the emails the system sent to them. She offered to call the customer's local store to have them see if they could order the part in for the customer, and the customer would just have to pick up and pay in store. The customer called the employee a derogatory name and hung up on her.Initial Complaint

Wrong auto part was sold to me when I stated that I was told they would order the correct part. I waited 10 days and again wrong part. I paid a mechanic $220.00 for labor. ORiellys called me said and my part was in January 31. Drove there for the part and was told by management that there was nothing more they could do for me this being AFTER they told me my part was in! I was mad about the inconvenience I was put through. Its their fault for ordering the wrong part to begin with. Its the wrong clutch cable kit for my 2000 **** Mustang 3.8 liter. Now they want me to pay my mechanic AGAIN to remove their cable before I can get a refund. How am I supposed to drive once removed? Pay again $220.00?? What kind of service is this? For further information needed please contact me: ****** ******** phone number ************. Only PART of the clutch worked. Wrong quadrant wont fit my vehicle.Customer Answer

The part is in regards to a **** mustang shifter cable and the kit. I put it on, one part was no good being the wrong size. A garage that we were working with told us this.

Our store manager had to outsource an Aftermarket part to get a quadrant that was metal (not plastic). Car is 25 yrs old, and our kit would keep coming with a plastic quadrant so the Store Manager and District Manager had researched to find the customer what he wanted. They found one from a company called Steeda and placed the order. Customer does not want the plastic. He does not have the *** part to match it up. Catalog says that the part we sold him are correct. We don't know what he had in there originally. The parts all match with cobra and customer wanted metal and wanted the best of the best. It did not go into factory Mustang. *** is obsolete. *** part is only for Cobra models of the Mustang. Design has not changed and fits 86-2004. Store Manager got with District Manager and they found OSP (outside purchase) and ordered it. Customer visited store 1/31/25 wanting to return. Customer has cable and everything else installed so he cannot do a return. He does not want to return the kit. He has to have mechanic remove it and return the whole kit for us to assist. Customer only expressed wanting a quadrant. Started with *** ***** and Store Manager let him keep it but if he wants a refund, he will need to return the *** and OSP. The customer's mechanic also installed the **********************, despite saying they don't fit. The mechanic would be the last line of defense to make sure the parts installed are correct for the vehicle. If the customer wants a refund on the **********************, all ********************** will need to be returned to our store.Customer Answer

******** told me that the Quadrant Clutch Cable kit for my **** Mustang would fit. When I went to have it professionally installed by a licensed mechanic they told me the cable was to long and the Quadrant would NOT fit my vehicle. So I contacted ********** and told them the Quadrant was wrong it didn't stated by the mechanic and I wanted a metal quadrant because I paid for a Metal one. They got me a metal one and when I took it to the mechanic it was STILL the wrong part. Contacted ********** again and explained that it was the wrong one That's when I was told I needed to return The Whole Kit which would have cost me $250.00 and left me with no transportation. I recieved a call stating they found the right Quadrant and told me to bring the wrong Quadrant up for an exchange. When I went up there they just told me there was nothing they could do for me and to keep the Quadrant that is useless to me. Total waste of my time and money for a kit that didn't fit my car to begin with!!Business Response

I purchased an auto part costing $290 at on of Oreilly store on highway 146 in *******. I returned it at another on *************** a month ago because I was in that vicinity. I had not seen my refund back on my credit card so I decided to go to the store to check about that issue . On arrival there the manger checked the system and she told me to check with my bank because the credit was issued. I told her that is not the correct amount. She told me why I did not return it to the other store. I told her that I was told I can return it to any store. She was very rude and lacked managerial and leadership qualities. She was very belligerent with me. She told me that the tax there is 6.25% which is not true . The tax ther is 8.25%. I told her the balance was supposed to be adjusted according to reflect what I paid . How can I pay $290 and receive $276; this is theft. She just walked away from the desk when I tried to ask her for the district office number. She just pointed to the door. I called the office twice today and there was no body to answer the phone. Well ; this is an act of theft and who know how many customers have been victims of theft by this auto parts company. I will have to take this to social media. I will not buy any more parts or anything from this band auto store again. Only the parts that I have previously purchased with warranty. I can warrant out . Apart from that they will not be getting my money because of that manner in which I was treated by this manager and the stealing of my money.Business Response

The customer purchased a filter box (DOR ******** on invoice 4899-400988 November 4, 2024. The part was $259.99 with $21.45 in tax for a total of $281.44. The customer returned the same filter box (DOR *******) on invoice 2071-253326 November 12, 2024. The part was $259.99 and the tax returned was $16.25 as this store has a different tax rate than the one the part was purchased at, for a total refund of $276.24. This is a $5.20 difference in sales tax. I will forward this to our District Manager to review and contact the customer.Initial Complaint

On January 22, 2025, I purchased a set of windshield wiper blades for a 2008 **** Escape from an employee named Vervel at O'Reilly Auto Parts, located at ****************************************. The total cost was $34.22, which I paid using a credit card. Vervel assisted by looking up the correct part number for my vehicle.On January 25, 2025, I attempted to install the wiper blades, only to find that they were the incorrect ones. I returned to ******** on the same day, where the staff confirmed the blades were incorrect. Vervel (or possibly Vernal) was there but did not remember me.****, another employee, helped me by looking up the correct part. He did a thorough job of sorting through the options and found the right one. However, since I didn't have a receipt, they attempted to locate the transaction using my phone number. They were unable to find it, even after searching for about 10 minutes. They informed me that there was nothing more they could do.Once I returned home, I checked my Discover Card account to confirm the purchase date and amount.Business Response

I had an issue starting up my car. In June of 2024, I got a replacement battery from O’Reilly and a two-year warranty for the battery. On the 10th of January, my car would not start again, so I wanted to make sure it was not the battery. I took the battery to O’Reilly to test the battery. If the battery was malfunctioning, I could have replaced it there for free. An employee tested the battery and told me it was working great and gave me the number of a local mechanic to have them check out the car. I ended up having to tow the car to a mechanic for $125. The mechanic got back to me 3 days later and notified me that the car issue was with the battery and that it needed to be replaced. The mechanic used the warranty to replace the battery, but charged me a $50 service fee to install it. Had the employee on the 10th given me correct information that the battery was not working, I would have been able to replace it and install it myself. Instead, I had to pay a total of $175 in order to resolve the issue. I seek monetary reparations for the unnecessary expense.Business Response

On 01/17/2025 I called in to order a part at ********************************************************************** and was told it would be there later that day. I came in around 06:00 pm and paid for the part $49.66 plus tax. When I left the store and reach about 5 minutes from the store and I looked at the part and saw it was a used part. I made a u-turn and came back and told ******* that the part is used and I cannot install a used part, I need them to order a new one. She said she will order a new one and it will be there on 01/18/2025 around noon. I called back around noon and was told the part did not arrive and to check back after 5pm. After 5 I called and was told she never ordered the part. I then went up to the store at asked for a refund and was told that there was no manager to give a refund and I will have to return on 01/19/2025 for the refund. The associates there did not understand what ******* and why she did what she did. Apprently she had committed fraud and lied and they did not know how to undo the mess that she made. I needed that part before sunday, so I called around and got he part for Advance Auto Parts. I came back on 01/19/2025 as instructed and again I was refuse a refund because ******** still could not figure out what ******* and done to undo it. My wife then called the corporate office a few minutes later and the lady she spoke to said that the district manager will be giving her call back either on 01/19/2025 or on 01/20/2025 inregards to getting my refund. To my surprise no one called be back. So not only does ******** have there part they also have my money and refusing to give me a refund. I'm an innocent part to ******** fraud and deceptive actions, but me as a customer is being penalized for her actions. All I want from ******** is my money back and they can handle ******* fraudulent behavior on there own time.Business Response

So, my mechanic and I went to ********* Auto Parts at ************************************************************************** to purchase several things to get my brake line and hoses repaired. I bought everything I needed without incident and used my Mechanics account to make the purchase using my debit card. Well, we didn't need the hose that was bought or several other parts that were bought somewhere else. So I went to the same store on Sunday to return the brake hose and the guy there tell me that he can't make the return without a ** Number. I was beyond confused because why would my mechanic tell me to return the things if there was going to be something needed. The guy basically told me if I dont have a ** Number I can't return the brake line. So I called my mechanic afterwards and he said there is no ** Number and he only uses his account. I asked the guy at the store about the account and he was insistant about the ** Number. If a ** Number is not needed, why is it so difficuly to return something purchased. Needless to say, I never could return the brake hose and will never walk through those doors again. Very bad first experience. The guy wasnt very nice anyhow and didn't seem like he wanted to help me in the first place. BrakeBest Brake Hose BH620470Business Response

I have reviewed the business' response regarding complaint ID ******** and am satisfied with this resolution. It's not really a resolution, because I can go back and they can tell me the same thing again. So, I am printing out the response and heading to the same store to make my return. However, this matter should have resulted in someone having to answer for the treatment of customers and being repremanded because this is not even close to good customer service. If I have any other issues while trying to return this product, I will reach back out to someone with my concerns.

Today 1-5-2025 my girlfriend went to this store and showed Assistant Manager ***** a picture of an emission cleaner for her car and ***** sold her one for diesel car and she used it on her car and damaged her car greatly. Can no longer runs and damaged the engine which would cost well over $1000. Repairs will be very costly and we dont have the money to repair it especially since it was not our fault. My girlfriend ******** went back to confront the assistant manager and he agreed that he made a mistake but told us that we have to pay out of pocket and sent them the bill and it would take 3 months for a refund. It is ridiculous to pay for their mistake. I personally went back to confront ***** but he was not there. The employees there agreed that ***** made a mistake and asks us to come back and talk to store manager ********** We want them to be liable for their mistake and find a proper solution to our problem but not going to wait 3 monthsBusiness Response

Hello, I purchased front and rear rotors from the ******** on **********************, and today I went back because they gave me the wrong sizing. The manager whose name I believe is *** or ******* was extremely rude and disrespectful to me. He insulted me and I gave him attitude and then he returned the rotors without my permission. After trying to retrieve my rotors back. He then proceeded to Punch me in the face without hesitation. This is a man with no morals or any sort of customer service experience. He does not know how to do his job correctly and the way he presented himself was very sluggish, uninviting and purely disgusting. There needs to be action taken against this adult because he has no place in customer service. There are cameras everywhere at the store, and I tried to contact police but they did nothing. I have called corporate and there needs to be some sort of action taken against this putrid person. He went against all codes of conduct and your code of business and ethics, and if he is able to get away with this ***** free without termination that would be outrageous.Business Response
