I ended up going to this location for a second opinion; I needed my battery and alternator tested…read morebecause I was having electrical-esque issues and believed my alternator to be bad. I initially went to the store location in Fallbrook and the younger lady there was horrible to us. She "tested" my alternator and said it came back good, all while swearing up and down to another gentleman that the wrong part she was showing him was the right one. When we came to the store in Oceanside, we were the only ones in there and both the young man (with a "got sand?" tattoo) and Donna immediately came to help us. They tested my battery within a minute and guess what? My alternator is indeed dead. The whole time they were in there, they went above and beyond to help us and were super friendly the whole entire time!

I truly appreciated Sandra's positive attitude, knowledge, and willingness to go the extra mile despite how busy things were. Employees like her make a big difference. Thank you Sandra!

AutoZone is one of the places I go when I'm looking for auto parts accessories. It is known to be a…read morespecialty retailer that sells auto parts, maintenance items, and accessories. When it comes to do-it-yourself products I can rely on the staff here to give me tips. Today I can here looking for new windshield wipers for my car and the staff taught me how to install them correctly. Way cheaper than getting it done at the dealership. They also have a wide variety of car fresheners in many scents and I like coming here to try different scents. I also got gallon size windshield fluid that are quite cheap when compared to other stores. Overall a good shopping experience. Just had to wait awhile for a staff member to show me how to install my new wipers. Located in the same plaza as Target and Winco. Plenty of parking in front of this AutoZone store.

I am writing this review in comparison to an AutoZone experience I recently had in O'side (I don't…read morelive in O'side) that was a long dragged out process (30+ minutes) to get a brake light for my DIL's vehicle. They did not have the old school book to flip through to direct you to the bulb(s) you needed and I had to go to the counter for assistance. This day I went to this O'Reilly's to obtain a headlight bulb for my wife's vehicle after she showed up (driving solo) to my son and DIL's house, where I had already been, with the one eyed bandit Hyundai. What a difference in customer service from AutoZone! I had just arrived at the aisle where the bulbs are kept and was about to look in the old school book when an employee approached and asked if I needed any help. I told him what I was about to do and he said he could do it quicker at the counter. I reluctantly, after the recent AZ experience, agreed. Within 2 minutes he knew what bulb I needed, walked me back to the bulb display and handed me the bulb. I was in and out of O'Reilly's in less than 5 minutes! I wish I had obtained the employee's name to give him a shout out here, but I failed.

Good place if you're in a rush and can't find the part elsewhere (there are 2 other parts stores…read morewithin 2 miles). I generally shop at the orange parts store, but have dropped by NAPA about 4 times since moving to the surrounding neighborhood. The staff lacks customer service skills. They seem to have something bothering them every time i've dropped in for a part - Maybe they dont like their job? Their POS seems to have issues often, its completely outdated from the 80s. Employees seem to get frustrated about it as much as customers trying to pay (it takes a while for them to enter information before taking paymen).. The shelves are stocked but not fully - call ahead to see if the part is available. Phone hold time is generally 5-10 minutes. Its the largest NAPA ive been to so I assume by the size of their warehouse in the back, the lack of product inventory, and less than satisfactory customer service, that they are very profitable and make their money on b2b sales. I'll continue to drop by, but only if im in a bind. Lack of inventory, phone wait time and outdated POS wouldn't be an issue if they balanced it off with excellent customer service.

AutoZone to me is like the Home Depot for cars. I could spend hours in this place…read more I definitely recommend getting the app. There are always great deals in there. Right now (7/25), 20% off orders over $100 and free next-day delivery. That's just one example of an amazing deal you can get! If I have any questions, someone is always more than happy to help me and get me what I need as fast as possible if it's not in stock. You can pull up and have any codes checked that are showing up on your vehicle as well. The parking lot is a whole other story. It's bad. Luckily, AutoZone is on the end, so it's a bit easier to get in and out of. Oh! Make sure to always enter your rewards number because the points add up, and who doesn't like free stuff?!

Copy-pasting from my review under the other, proper business listing (as LKQ rather than Ecology):…read more My review is basically going to be a response/add-on to previous reviews from others, who seem to have a much more negative (and casually racist, and generally tweakerish) view of the place than I took away myself. Your call on how to weigh any conflicting opinions. To begin with, it's true that there is no parking lot; there is more street parking than I was expecting, but you may still be in for a short walk if you're unlucky with your timing. The area is much less seedy than I was expecting given that it's a, you know, salvage yard, and the other vehicles parked on the street were mostly pretty respectable-looking. At no point did anyone with a gold toof approach me with a business proposition involving narcotics or the guarding of my vehicle's wheels. The entry dude was friendly, addressed me as "sir," broke a 20 without groaning and happily answered my questions about where to find the vehicles I was looking for. I feel like there's not much more you can ask for when gauging the customer service level of a junkyard, y'know? The yard itself is probably the smallest I've seen, but I would estimate that there were still a good 300 or so vehicles present. I did not check what other reviews call the "primo yard" (which the entry guy told me is where they keep the 2002+ model year vehicles) so I can't personally speak to whether or how much that area may or may not contribute to the size and quality of the overall selection, but the satellite view on Google Maps shows another 75 or so vehicles back there. The way they have the lot organized is kind of weird, but it appears to be roughly divided into three areas: one of import cars, one of domestic cars, and one of mixed trucks/SUVs. I didn't pay much attention to the import section, but it appeared to comprise about 40-50% of the total inventory in the main yard. The domestics were represented at what I'd rate about a 5/10, with a decent number of Fords (both cars and trucks), Chevys (some trucks, not many cars) a few (less than 10) Dodges, and here and there a LeSabre or whatever. There are also a few '70s-vintage panel vans and F-series trucks present, which to me mostly just seemed to be wasting space in an already cramped yard. Interiors were pretty bombed out, as you'd expect, and the front-end bits like headlights seemed to be missing from a lot of the vehicles. All of this is all just intended to provide some basic information on the general makeup and condition of the lot - there is a live inventory available on the LKQ website, so use that to gauge whether your specific situation warrants the drive! The parts-counter girl was perfectly pleasant and told me what she was ringing up a few of my parts as when I told her I wasn't sure what to call them. (FYI, dome lights are "vanity lights" - the more you know!) There's a price list available on the LKQ site too, so you should have no surprises there. As an aside, none of my stuff had a core charge, but the concept is moronic to me - what are they gonna do, take my exchange part and reinstall it? Other random observations: There were a few customers walking around doing their thing with carts made from welded-up sheetmetal/rebar in tow, so I assume they make these available if asked. There were also a couple of employees on constant patrol, so you should probably go somewhere else to huff gasoline and masturbate. The hillside at the rear of the yard provided some nice late-afternoon shade after a couple hours of scrounging. I didn't notice any water fountains or facilities for hand-washing, but I also wasn't specifically looking for either one. Exit was subject to the usual cursory bag check, and they will stamp your hand for re-entry if you ask. The Chevron nearby will sell you two hot dogs for two bucks.
