O'Reilly Auto Parts — Local services in Athens

If you drive a old car, go to O’Reillys. The employees are knowledgeable. Where as Autozone, a kid outta high school can get a job there. Don’t u think if a person is going to work in a auto part store, he/she should know something about auto mechanics? I do. The part I needed which was a fuse/relay isn’t listed in the manual. Simple thing, you’d think, but can’t replace it if you don’t know where it’s located. Right? I called the service department at the dealer, they didn’t know, and they r supposed to be the absolute best. Their the dealer. I went to Autozone, young man said the part wasn’t listed in their system. Yeah Right!!! Auto zone just hires folks to fill the position, don’t care if all you know about a car is driving one. Autozone cares more about your computer skills than knowledge of a automobile. But, I went to O’Reillys, and they located the part I needed, showed us where it is on the car.

The associates working at the O'Reilly's in Athens have always been the most accommodating, efficient, reliable, and knowledgeable auto parts stores in the area, in my humble opinion.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, O'Reilly Auto Parts in Athens has a great group of people working there, it's a great store, and the best part for me, other than the things I've already mentioned, is that they will match any competitor's price; so, if you find the same item online or on your phone for cheaper, they will match the price.

I would always rather go to O'Reilly's and give them my money then go...

Bought a battery for my Honda hybrid here. The battery was 3100.00. I ordered the battery on Friday, paid with a check it came in took my old battery back on Sunday to get a refund, they told me the manager was not there, and that I would have to wait till Monday. I said fine just sign the receipt to let them know I brought it back. Well come Monday morning at 8:00 I went on there they told me they didn't have money at that time. I said ok I will be back between 1-3 the manager said we should habe the money by then. Well went in at lunch was told by am employee that it would have to come from corporate, I said well a manager told me to come back at lunch, that same manager then came out an told me the same stuff.

People just want information up front and...
