First off, please note: I live in Mustang, OK. It is a 100 mi drive, to and from, everytime we go to Ada, Ok.
That being said, as I was comming into town, my check engine light started blinking the "Battery" light. We tried calling the local dealership who's service dept was too busy to answer the phone. So here I am, no tools, no man, no friends... trying to figure out if my Suberban is gonna die on me in the middle of B.F.E!
I walked into O'Reilly and waited in line, the Manager asked if I had been helped... yes, help, I need help. So I told him the symptoms that were causing me to consider frieking out. He got me a new battery, tested the electric current, then waved over another employee as he looked up the part numbers.
My Suburban normally runs about 14.5v and was showing me 11... After putting in a new battery, it was reading 12.3 on his tester. (Which made us both give the Alternator the stinky eye.)

I cannot say enough good about this place. 10/21/25 I had to replace my battery and one of the posts was very corroded. It took a while but Jesse got it cleaned and the new battery installed. He kept a smile on his face the whole time and was so courteous. Jesse was very knowledgeable about the different batteries that would work for my car and helped me make an informed choice. He didn’t try to push me to buy the most expensive battery but instead told me what was good about each one so I could choose what worked for my needs.
