O'Reilly Auto Parts charged $ on refund

O'rieilly Auto parts sold ignition coils for GM 3.8L v-6.

Looked on internet and said these coils are for Honda, (had less resistance than OEM) The GM OEM version has higher resistance and high performance versions have even higher resistance.

Returned items to O'rieilly parts store, manager at Franklin Park did return transaction took back coils, but processed the transaction as a charge to card rather than refund. Did not notice until later, this is when I new manager was a punk!

Had to go back to the store and deal with assistant manager later that day.

O'Reilly Auto Parts bad experience

I had a bad experience at the Rochester Indiana O'Reily store a year ago and I told the attendant that was my last day inside the store in which she replied Ok.I tried to return a wrong part and learned about O'Reilys policies. I simply won't go back. There is a Napa Store across the street and a Auto Zone just down the street whom seem to like me buying from them. I simply do not understand the attitude of todays business that view the loss of one persons business as part of doing business. I do alot of my own Auto work maybe they are right I really do not matter that much in the over all big picture.

O'Reilly Auto Parts - discrimination / unfair treatment

My name is willis l. Price. I am a former o’reilly employee by my own choice. I began working as a delivery driver for the company on february 4, 2008 at store #680. At the time of my employment, i was informed that i would have the opportunity to move up within the company; be it at this store or at one of the other stores. I resigned on march 6, 2009...

O'Reilly Auto Parts beware

I went into O'reilly to buy a headlight for my vehicle. while talking to the store manager, he claimed he didnt know what bulb I was requesting. I even went out to the car and point it out to him. He still claim he didnt know what I was talking about. Corporate America is ###ed, to hire someone like him. My mother alway said maggets flock together.

What the *** are we coming to. Customer service has went to the gutter. People who take your money treat Customer like ***. Give me a break, pllllllllllllllllllease. She-She Stop shop of Kansas City.

O'Reilly Auto Parts back to the stone age

I moved from SoCal, and I live in the central coast area of Calif now, but I used to have local access to Autozone, who I liked. I had to revert to Kragan, who was not all that great, and they now are Orielly, who, in at least my opinion, ***. I am a very talented and experienced technician and manager, and the service I receive from the two stores in my city is piss poor.

Wrong parts, sometimes no parts, and low technical knowledge to name a few of the issues I have experienced. (I buy a LOT of parts from these guys.)

They tend to over-ride opinions with that "...we know it all..." attitude and it is frustrating to get the wrong advice when you know it is absolutely wrong. Getting some parts is a pain because the personnel just 'know' it has to be something else, or their computer "...does not have it under that name..." (Ask them for an air cleaner gasket)

I had a counter person insist to me that the distributor cap for my 1997 Dodge Ram 1500 w/5.9 Magnum was the clip-on one she handed me and not the screw attached one I knew it to be. (I had to walk out because "...Mr. This IS the right cap...")

They could not sell me a 14lb radiator cap for my tractor! ("Sorry, but every radiator has a specific cap to fit it")

Their biggest problem is that the computers are always down. It is a roll of the dice that I can even pay for my parts! Poor to say the least.

O'Reilly Auto Parts bad customer service

I always go to the O'Reilly's in Swainsboro when I need a car or truck part. I have literally spent thousands in there buying parts for mine and my family's vehicles. They now have 2 country bumpkins working in there, Scotty and Bobby. They act like they are high or something! Beaver and [censored]. As soon as you walk through the door you immediately want to walk out because they are giggling like two hippies high on ecstasy. I went in anyway because I figured that they were talking about something before I walked in. They weren't. Everytime I spoke they looked at each other and started laughing. I'm not the only one that they've done like that. If O'Reilly's wants to keep lucrative business they need to hire better help and put Scootie and Booty on the go!

I think that O'Reilly's as a business is a great place but I don't think they realize the impact of having our loved ones constantly at work can be overwhelming for their families. I am overwhelmed by the fact that everytime I turn around there is a meeting being held. Most are not held in the same town where we reside so it requires traveling. I am upset because the job becomes top priority and there is more to life then just constantly working no matter if it pays the bills. Family also matters. Where does all this work pay off if there is never anytime to enjoy the fruits of your labor. To just have one day off a week and sometimes not even that. I never understand why they can't get with the program of having video conferences so that there is less money spent on travel and where people don't have to once again leave their families behind. I only get to spend time with my love one while they sleep because they are constantly working and I just think that if O'Reilly starts really acting like they care about their employees then people would appreciate working there more and wouldn't constantly be thinking about finding another job. Some may say "well someone would love to have your job" well the reality is just because you have a job doesn't mean the you are in a stable condition to just feel comfortable and with all the work that they do why are people still stuggling to pay necessary bills. Especially for Salaried workers I feel that they are used for so many reasons and it really is not fair. They take up overtime when a store doesn't have enough hours or employees cause the store is not making enough money, they have to do inventory at different store all hours of the day and all of this is really for free. They pay the lowest for regular work hours then I guess you feel better because of commission but after taxes are taken out you are right back to making a check that would be made by someone that works the front counter. I just think that the business world is so messed up that they so much care about their business that they forget that their employees are a very important value to the company making the money that they do. They just need to get it together and think about they are a family business that cares about caring on the legacy for years to come well we are families to that care about our loved ones and feel that they are not getting treated right. You either give more time or more money but I guess you want both.

O'Reilly Auto Parts sold us junk

My husband went to O'Reilly Auto Parts Store in Tuscumbia, AL and bought a bttery for our ford ranger. We put the battery on the truck in their parking lot and that did not help.

He took the battery back in and told the man it was not the battery and wanted a refund so he could buy a starter. The man told him that the battery was used and he would have to prorate the battery so my husband dedided to keep it.

My husband even bought a starter from that does NOT work and they will not take it back either they say he doesn't know how to put one on, so we are done with them.

Usually when a battery does not fix the problem, a starter does not fix the problem, then you obviously have another issue. I sale parts for a living and it is common practice for me to narrow the scope as far as I can. If an electrical part has been installed it cannot be returned as new. It's like going to get a gallon of milk, drinking half, and asking for a full refund. It just does not work like that. I would suggest checking all of the grounds, wires, and connections. From there I would suggest having the components checked to make sure they are all working properly. This includes the battery alternator and starter. Before you attack the company itself, go through what it could be before you assume they sold defective parts. Thank you and good luck with this.

O'Reilly Auto Parts employee lacks knowledge of parts

Employee was trying to install a front signal light on a truck and was cutting into the wire harness just to make the incorrect part fit.
I told him that was the wrong part when he was cutting into it and he said he knew what he was doing!
By the way, he's the owner of the white mustang that's pictured on the wall. Go figure!:)

O'Reilly Auto Parts product/no return

Attending a funeral in Nebraska during blizzard conditions, we purchased a set of chains in Branson before the trip. We did not need to use the item which is still in the sack unopened. O'Reilly said they would not refund the money spent on the chains, even though they were not used. Such business practices have convinced me to never purchase another item from O'Reilly's. I will go to Napa, or better yet Auto Zone.!

O'Reilly Auto Parts sold me wrong parts

I own a 1991 Nissan Sentra that needed new cv-joints. Im in the military and use the shop on post to do these kind of things easily and cheaply myself.

Anyways I go to Oreilly's to purchase new half shafts at 59 bucks with 45 core charge. Take them to the shop and begin the install. The Driver side goes without any real hitch, but the passenger side wont go in at all. I bring it back to oreilly's with the core from the drivers side.

The manager looks up the part for me and says well "she gave you the wrong parts, and the one that is on the Driver side right now is the wrong one too". So I say I will go take it off and return them, and also purchased two of the "correct" shafts.

I get back to the shop to remove the wrong one, and surprise surprise, it wont budge at all...ever...not even after taking it to a transmission shop. They did however look through the opening on the other side of the transaxle and were able to deduce that I definitely needed a new one because the splines and gears were torn up and a few things broke off...and...and...and!

Anyways what was a $100 job now a $953 job with a new transmission.

(the lady asked me year, model, engine size, ABS or not, automatic or manual) She didn't ask what speed it was and gave me parts for a 4 speed when mine is a 3 speed.

It ruined my transmission...and my wallet.

O'Reilly Auto Parts rude service

I shopped at O'Reilly Auto Parts store for an electrical part. I specifically asked about returns and was told that it was 30 days as long as it was not installed.

About 4 days later I decided to return the part and was surprised that the lady at the counter said I need to see a manager for the return.

About 3-4 days later I showed up at the store at about 5pm and was again told that the part could not be returned until I spoke to a manager.

I finally showed up at the store when the manager was around and he told that that I cannot return the part since they do not accept returns on the part once it is sold. I mentioned about the first visit and he said that does not mean a thing. He ACCEPTED that the part did not look used but he would not let me return it.

He would not give me a copy of the returns policy and asked me to leave the store and do what I may the part could not be returned. He also did give me a number to their corporate office on my insistance.

I called the number and to my surprise was one of the SEX HOT Line. I found the number of customer service and the rep was helpful and called the manager and to my surprise the manager told her that the part showed visible signs of abuse (after telling me it looked unused).

I was however offered a store credit and I took it. A BIG THANKS to the customer service rep from corporate. The manager told me that I could use it at any O'Reilly store in the country and I left. I am not going back to that store again.

Thanks for reading this and I hope you stay away from this chain. Try Auto Zone or NAPA which has a far better customer service reps and very helpful folks.

You don't think it's fair for this person to voice their experiences with your company? Really? Sorry, but your companies policies are deplorable. And to the other commentor, pointing out that the returns policy is on the back of the reciept does NOTHING to help us. It's too late by that point, as u=you already have our money...!

O'Reilly Auto Parts awful place

I worked at store 1841 in austin mn. was given every crap job there was trying to get me to quit but i wouldent . the district manager dont like older help and made it very clear to me and others. He has made comments about others like hire the girl she has a nice *** she will draw customers and has treated her and others very poorly at this store.In june i ruptured 3 disks in my back and that was the way to get rid of me . Fired me fought my unemployment, canceled my insurance, and refuse workers comp. Teem oreilly will take care of you my ***. The old manager and me brought this store from nothing to what it was when he left . We were at aprox. 80, 000 mo. He asked for a raise that figured to .17cents per hr . was told no hired a new manager that nobody likes for less than half and sales drop 40, 000 per mo. WAY TO GO OREILLYS. Oreillys CEO people better take a long look at the district manager and manager im not the only one that has had problems its been our store and other stores in his care that has had problems with him. How stupid can you be is everyone lying but him . I can prove everything i say i have it on tape and other people with me on this that work for oreillys and old employees that have been forced to quit cause of what they have done to them. The CEO people wont get ahold of people like me that was devoted to that store they dont CARE about there help or there customers.

O'Reilly Auto Parts horrible customer service

This letter is to complain about service I recently received from Store #3415 and the staff on hand the evening of November 17, 2009. This series of missteps occurred between 5:10 and 6:10 pm. I think its important to note that these experience is such that I will not shop in this store again, and will think twice before giving business to Oreillys in the future.

While I was waiting pateintly to be helped I noticed what seemed like the manager talking on her cell phone around the front of the store loudly while 1 other employees was busy helping other customers, a line formed behind me while she did nothing she then states to whom ever on the end of the line she does not need to deal with people like us.

Then she came to help me and all I wanted was to purchase a new set of wiper blades for my wifes car and get them installed. The woman who seemed like the manager was annoyed and had a really bad attitude it seemed like she didnt want anyone to bother her. She told me that they dont do that after 5 pm I will have to come back tomorrow morning to get them installed. I was so upset that she couldnt help me install the wiper blades but I calmly left the store not seeing a sign anywhere that stated that they only offered that until 5pm. I felt that she was just being lazy when I waited in line for about 10 minutes and she saw me waiting there but she was busy talking on her cell phone. When she finally came to help she pretty much refused to help me.

I want to make this complaint for only the reason that not only will I never go back to Murrays/Oreillys that I always depended on for all my auto parts but I will tell every one I know about the service I received. You see I am in customer service, I deal with customers (many upset customers) on the daily basis. I have never seen such bad service. I am sorry that you and I will not do any more service because of one individual who left a bad impression. I really think that your employee needs to learn how to deal with customers if you are in a retail business if you dont then you will lose a lot of good customers!

If she was that rude then the rest of the stores must be the same. I always have car problems so now my business will definitely go somewhere else. That night I bought a set of wiper blades from Napa Auto Parts just down the road, they had no problem to go outside and install them. I would rather pay a little more money to get nicer people to help me because free or cheap isn't always better obviously.

as in the comment from above I am a Manager for O'Reilly auto parts and I am sorry you got treated that way! it was not called for and I dont care what time it is I go out of my way to help anyone. I have even stoped on the freeway on my way home to help to them to the store to get the parts they need and took them back to the car and helped fix it (took tell 12am) but that is how O'Reillys trains us to go out of are way to treat the customer as if they were not just a customer or a sale but as if they were are family! dont let that one bad time make you think thats how we as a whole are.

I am sorry that you happened to get one of the worst examples of our service. However, you stated that ALL of them must be the same. I am in North Carolina and I can vouch for myself and others that this is not customer service, Oreilly's or not. I go outside to crawl under trucks to find the problem, change wiper blades, change batteries, change bulbs, etc. Although it is not for us to do some of these things, I prefer to do so to help the customers. I do not condone any of the ones that work with me to treat anyone any other way. The motto in our store is that you treat the person on the other side of the counter as if it were you. So far it has worked for me. Again, I do apologize. By the way...I am female and a manager.

The store in cleburne tx has a manager that is rude and uses obsene language and does crude actions i heard how he talks to employees and it is hateful and unnessesary for a manager to behave this way i was very offended and cant believe your company employs people of his nature women that work there are talked to badly and harrased both sexually and emotionally and ive been any there many times when he has brought them to tears he discusses personal things in front of other employees as well as customers and i think it is just shameful something should be done about this.

O'Reilly Auto Parts fraud and cheats

I purchased a Bulldog security system from O'reilly auto
. First thing I had to do was look up directions for installation on the internet. Then I called "Customer Support", to see why the kit did not have all the parts needed.

The tech line representitive informed me that I was an idiot! I was taken aback and asked him what he said to make sure I was not hearing things incorrectly. He then proceeded to tell I was an idiot and did I know how many cars were out there and how hard it would be to include all the parts. I then told him that I needed to speak with his suppervisor, and he responded that what I needed to do was to blow it out my ***.

Being very offended I returned to the O'reilly part store were I purchased the part to see what they could do for me about this matter. They gave me the run around for about a week and nothing was ever done. This is why I say screw O'reilly and screw Bulldog security!

I disagree! The computer is NOT the only resource you have to look up correct vehicle fluids. Valvoline Fluid Recommendations and capacities is readily available from your DC and is specifically designed so the customer is not given the wrong fluids. This seems to be a major problem with OReilly...not enough knowledge and experience in the stores, and absolutely no support from "corporate" to educate employees and customers alike! The customer should not have to research their vehicles specs...that's the job of the so called "professional" at the store. When companies like OReilly and Auto Zone start paying better, and attracting people that have the knowledge and experience, or at least want to learn, and stop filling their stores with inexperienced kids that could care less about auto parts, they might actually gain some respect and confidence from their customers. Until then, NAPA and CarQuest will continue to prevail as the 'professional" parts stores.

If you come in and buy a bottle of transmission fluid and ask for help, the only resources we have are in the computer as by corporate policy for us not to use our cell phones. I'm sorry you were advised to buy the wrong transmission fluid type for your vehicle. My advice to you would be to research your vehicle's specifics as to what transmission etc... is actually in it and that may keep incidents like this from happening.

O'Reilly Auto Parts scam and cheating

I have got the wrong part more times then getting' the right part. I live 20 miles from O'Reilly and every time I have to make more than one trip it cost me. I buy a lot of parts from O'Reilly in Peoria Height. Il. Called district Manager to complain and he told me to go to Auto Zone, thanks Kenny best advice I ever got from you. They like the $2000-$3000 I spend in a month. I also don't have to make two trips for every part I buy. I will not buy from or recommend O'Reilly Auto Parts.

O'Reilly Auto Parts mistreatment of team members

There are problems going on at this specific store location that can no longer be ignored. The team members at this location need help but it will have to be from the corporate office. There was an e-mail sent but no-one answered it. There are two specific people at this store that have quick several times because they don't get their way. They are very hateful to others that they work with and if you don't do what they tell you to do, then they will go to the ends of the earth to see that you are fired. Several good team members have quit or transferred to other stores because of these two ladies. When you are hired you are told that you are a valuable part of the equation in making O'Reilly's a successful business. Store 948 use to be the best store to work for when Nathan was the manager, ut thanks to these two ladies he is no longer there. The team members have tried to talk to both the district manager and the regional manager but to no avail. All day today they have tried to talk to the district manager and he does not have time to talk to them. Both of these ladies have both quit several times and went to talk to the district and regional managers and got their jobs back not only their jobs back, but promoted to hub manager and back store manager. I know that some people that read this may think that it is jealous, but by no means are we jealous. It is not a good example for those team members that are there everyday and do their job and get nothing. We need help at this store but the team members are scared to say anything to either district or regional because of the pull that these two ladies have. We are not saying that either the district or the regional mabager are bad managers, but something has to be done. If you have any suggestions please let us know. One of the ladies started a fight in the store and I am talking about a physical fight and she was not repremanded. It seems like everything that they do wrong, they get away with it. All we are asking is for someone from Corporate to step in and help out the team members that are really there doing their job.

After 10 plus years & $8.2 million in sales & training dozens of employees & being the "tech support" for a dozen stores the corp auditor fired me for stealing & tried to have me put in jail . The corp office has black listed me & three major auto parts chains will not even accept my application.In the meantime the store has fell to 1/2 the sales due to the public outcry & MANY accounts boycotting them because of me being fired.Well the detectives have cleared me from any criminal wrongdoing & the prosecutor told the corp office your evidence that everyone in the store was operating the very same way & that this individual has been wronged.The store mgr & the dm both played a part in this mess & are telling folks that i quit or that i have stepped out & that they could help them. The store has the lowest audit score from the company that it has ever had & deliveries went down from a daily average of 50 to 11 per day they will soon be laying off or letting go part time drivers & counter hands. After legal counsel i will be seeking damages because at 55 i would have worked just as hard for the next 10 years & would had a sizable retirement fund .This company wont even pay the city for trash pickup so they have had the dumpster picked by the city for unpaid balance & the gas heat was shut off a couple of times & they were sued by a general contractor that replaced the rear entry door that they would not pay for & the were sued for air conditioner repair they would not pay for !

Oreillys store in Saginaw, Tx. allows sexual harassment. The mans name is Ralph. I reported his behavior to Jimmie the Mgr. and to our DM. I have controlled high blood pressure and with the sexual harassment going on it caused my blood pressure to sky rocket and I had to be transported by ambulance since my blood pressure went close to 200 due to his behavior and inappropriate touching. I was off work for several weeks without pay while corp. was investigating, he was working.I filed a workers comp claim since his behavior was the root of my health problems and it occured at work and the company refused to do anything about it. I was fired since no one observed his behavior. I think its sorry that people like him get away with such and the management knows and does nothing. Not to mention I called Charlie O'Reilly and he didnt even return my call. I posted something on being sexually harassed on www.consumerspissed.com .I also found out that he not only sexually harassed me he also was delivering a part and a woman who was a mechanic and co-owner of the shop and she was bent over working on a car, and he smacked her butt. The woman's husband seen this and told Ralph that if he was a younger man he would have decked him on his butt! The mgr and dm showed up at their shop and apologized for Ralphs behavior. The shop owners did not want Ralph at their shop and from what I understand the store mgr said that if the shop needed parts and Ralph was out that way he would deliver them. Ashame behavior like this happens and companies turn their back on behavior such as this in the workplace. If anyone else has experienced this please feel free to send me an email. cawinters1963@yahoo.com

I've worked for o'rielly/csk for 5 years and i was fired today for calling in sick yesterday. I was given no warning, no explaination, no severance, not even pay for my sick day. I am a wyotech grad and ASE certified in parts, so I expect to be paid like a professional. This is probably where I went wrong. I normally wouldn't bother complaining and just move on, but I wanted to warn existing employees that your job can and will be taken from you at any time, for no reason. To potential employees, I would like to warn you that even five years of loyal service will get you no where. All this company cares about is money, you are replaceable because you don't need to have any real automotive knowledge to work there.

I am now under a tresspass letter/notice after being fired for no good reason. I have won twice in court against my former boss (RM)for unemployment benefits and to have bogus TRO (temporary restraing order0 removed. I've been told by the O"Reilly's attorney that "I am not welcome in their stores, even though the only remotely objectionable thing that i have done is play an embarrassing prank/joke against my ex RM. O"reilly's conflict resolution procedures are a joke !1

O'Reilly Auto Parts battery scam

I recently replaced a battery from oreillys which I had purchased from oreillys 4 years ago when it went bad I went to my local store to replace it as it had 2 yrs prorated warranty left the employee told me it was cheaper to purchase new battery at wholesale than to prorate the new one, because they prorate them at list cost. This practice is crap, I told the salesman this and he told me if I would shut up and listen he would explain. I managed a store for this company 8 yrs ago and I know this is not true .I strongly advise anyone to call the district managers when you encounter a problem

if not call oreillys corporate offices in Springfield Missouri and ask for Denny smith he will straighten out the problem. He is the most knowledgeable person in the company (regional manager) don’t let the employees bully you they are only worried about their commissions. This was a very good company to work for don’t let a few bad apples ruin your day

I purchased a battery from O, Reilly's 9-6-22 and on receipt it is core charge for 22.00 and then a core exchange -22.00. wasn't I supposed to get a credit for core charge for them keeping my old battery. Just trying to find out how they work. I have always gotten a credit for turning on old battery.

10+ year Oreilly team member. The company's core values are better than any I have worked for in the past. Like any retail job you are required to hire a few good people and fill holes with idiots. We do not prorate batteries at list price you have been misinformed. Wholesale price is obviously less than retail even with a prorate in the first few months of proration. This is a benefit given to professional accounts who's GP % is lower but that spend significantly more money than your average DIYer.

I definitely think that individual store employees are not the problem. The O'Reilly philosophy is the problem. Because they do not care about their employees; they are treating us as if people are machines. It is difficult for an employee, if not impossible, to make it right for the customer because of the all mighty dollar that guides all of O'Reilly's decisions. Of course, call Springfield. Call Springfield all the time. A big wig will make it right, but O'Reilly will not give permission for the workers in the stores to "make-it right." I wish that O'Reilly had never bought CSK Auto Parts, Inc. CSK treated workers with dignity and wanted workers to provide the best customer service possible. It is not that way with O'Reilly and those in Springfield. --dishearted worker at O'Reilly who is looking for new employment.

O'Reilly Auto Parts ripping people off

Be very careful conducting business with o'reilly auto parts. Look close at their return policy. If you use a credit or debit card and need to return a defective part, they will only credit the original card. This means if you change bank accounts or credit cards, you will be stuck holding the defective part. This policy is an outrage. They are ripping people off. Go check it for yourself on their web-site. I have wrote a letter to o'reillys and will see just how committed they are to customer service.

O'Reily auto parts is NOT in business to rip people off. Customers need to be more responsible for the companies that issue cards for payments. They are ripping people off. O'Reily auto parts always have extended an above board approach to it's customers. Customers always do the ripping off and expect instant service. They bring zero information on the car they drive and part name. Customers expect them to be engineers, five star mechanics and do a good job at it. I don't work for them. I'm a customer. As always in life and mathematics a bad parts clerk gets hired. O'Reily auto parts can't be responsible for that and fire them. Follow the 10 commandments and you find them a great place to shop.

The managers are sometimes don't accept some returns but later credit the purchases to their cronies. Too many complains, the Oreillys Board needs to take this seriously avoid further scams.

I just went in to do a return on $400 worth of parts that i purchased with a company card. Now i purchased alot with the company card for the company i work for and every few months we get new cards so the ones they were purchased on arent good. Do i still have them yes i do but they are cancelled and the employees at the St Joseph Missouri stores are saying im screwed and my company is screwed.

Yea I don't about all of you but while I read some of these Pro O'Reilly's comments, I felt like I was reading patriotic propaganda or something to that effect;

"God Bless America, and God bless O'Reilly's Auto parts
#UpForWhatever#MakeItABudLite!"

Redirecting my digression onto my point:
The dude that did my return was (pardon my language) was a subtle snot-nosed punk-kid. That's right I went there, and I hate to say it but I'm not lying. He tried to make me feel stupid because I was confused about there social distance setup (it was more like, follow the velvet rope and see where it leads type of deal), and even though I had my receipt and correct debit card with me, he informed me that he could refund my debit card, no cash. If I wanted to attempt to get cash, I'd have to ask the manager so naturally I asked to speak with the manager and this kid had his wit already locked, cocked and aimed and them BAM!
"Psh, he already went home at 5? Sorry sir."
Finally to top it off, he "reassures me, telling me that the funds are put back on the card immediately. He looked at me in eyes when he told me this. He lied straight to my face.
So yea, moral of the story, Modelo is a waaaaaay bettwr beer.

O'Riley's is incredible when it comes to returns.. you must have caused reason for alarm. My ladies steering column was busted to hell and we're broke. However we have the VA ( veteran's affair's) on our side so they bought us the part. But the mechanics needed a column with the harness.. so, I sat there holding a 200$ pair weight knowing that there is no way I can return this because a government agency bought it ( they didn't want to return it) with a credit card.. I figured I would try to see if they exchange if for a starter compatible with my other car. And not only did they offer me a full refund in cash, but the manager even pointed me in the direction of a discounted auto parts place for my starter because he knew I was alittle down on my luck. Love O'Reilly's customer for life..

I bought a part that I ended up not needing, ok paid with check, the check has cleared my bank. Apon returning the part, they tried to say I bought it with a gift card (when it says check right on the receipt) and forced me to get a gift card for the return. It wasn't even a big return, it was only $30. That is total bs, I have shopped o'Reilly's now twice and I thought I really liked the store and found my new auto parts store. Well now because of this, I will be selling the gift card and I will no longer shop there. Back to advance auto I go (where i have never had a problem).

I read this before walking in to return a polisher that had broken internally...a plastic piece of course, regardless, I walked in explained what had happened and gave them my phone number so they could look up the purchase and I had absolutely zero issues in returning and exchanging... I wasn't asking for money in return, however, I'm certain they would have given to me (I used a debit card).

I tend to agree with all of the positive comments above. It appeared that there were some managers who commented and I commend the customer service at the O'Reilly's I just busted (Nashville TN, craighead) I also tend to agree with the gentleman who recognizes that something is amiss, if one presents an unreasonable or questionable request...regardless of motive...a company does and quite frankly, should have policies in place to protect themselves and their customers...
O'Reilly's has been on the up and up with me without fail.

So i still didn't see an answer to my question? I bought a tool at orileys on Aug 18th for 19.99, purchased it with a prepaid debit card that i no longer own, the tool i had no use never opened it or used it period, by how other similar retailers go about that kind of situation is usually as long as you have original receipt and its within 30 days of purchase and purchased with a debit card it is absolutely a cash back return/refund! Does anyone know their policies on returning something purchased with a debit card ? And returning it with an original purchase receipt? Thanks

Return Policy at O'Reily's. Google search came up with thread which didn't answer my question really. I don't know what their policy is but I needed a part that was $109. and wanted to get partial credit with some brakes that I found out I didn't need after all. Bought them at another O'Rielly's in San Francisco less than 30 days ago, never opened them and Oakland store would not take them back, not even with credit. Never heard of a franchise not taking back something from another store. Annoying, told them forget it I'll go elsewhere
