Re: Anyone else done with Oriley Auto parts?

Our local Oreilly used to be called Hi-Lo Auto Parts. That was a long time ago. The guys that worked there did so because they needed a line on cheap parts for their own hot rods. Think employee discount . Then as they grew , the quality of employee behind the counter went down . Now if they cant find it in a computer , it must not exist . I understand that parts have changed over the years but most of these guys dont even know how to change their own oil. I also get that from all of the above mentioned parts stores , not just one . There are auto parts guys here that know what is going on and you can tell which ones they are because the others ask them questions about every thing . The thing I like is that I usually know what part I need and if they give me something wrong , I usually catch it at the counter and have them correct it .
