I don't have any auto mechanics background so this store makes me so nervous. A young lady greeted us almost as soon as we entered the store. Whew... I don't have to find anyone. She explained the differences between the brands of the product we needed, which I really appreciated, and then allowed us to make the decision. We could clearly see that she wasn't trying to sell us the most expensive one. THANK YOU! read more

Came in yesterday to purchase cabin and engine air filters after dealership wanted to charge me about $135 for both! Employee was extremely helpful and not only helped me find filters but also installed them for free! The cost for both higher end filters was only $57 bucks with tax! Way better than $135,! As a person without a lot of mechanical knowledge, this is my go to place now, much, much better customer service than competitors, thanks guys! read more

I experience very bad customer service from a employee there name Micheal I went in to purchase a battery I asked Micheal if he will install the battery, he quickly told me no " because he is not a mechanic " there was three other employees working at the time I asked him if someone else could install the battery, he asked a male employee if he wanted to install it for me at first the employee said yes, but Micheal whispered to him something and then asked him if he " wanted to install it" the employee quickly changed his mind. Then he asked a female employee if she "wanted to install it" she quickly agreed Micheal seemed very annoyed she said yes, he tried to discourage her from installing the battery by saying before you say yes make sure it's not to hard. I informed Micheal I don't think it's to hard that the battery is right on top he said" that's what they always say" making me feel like he didn't want to install my battery or want anyone else to install it, his attitude and body language said it all. The female co-worker looked it up and saw it wasn't to complicated and proceeded to help me unlike unhelpful Micheal. I was very upset with Micheal attitude towards helping me install my battery which is a service that O'Reilly provides. I am a regular customer at O'Reilly and one of the main reasons I shop there is because of the great service I normally receive and the extra services O'Reilly provides. I work in customer service and was taking back by his demeanor and attitude. I left there feeling very upset and unsatisfied. While the female employee was installing my battery which only took her five minutes I watch Micheal help another lady install another lady's windshield wipers and he had a attitude doing that. Micheal do not seem like he likes helping customer install services that O'Reilly provides. I am very happy the female named Cj gladly helped me out, because I really needed her help unlike unhelpful, bad attitude, clearly don't like his job Micheal! read more

The employee that helped me out was 5 star, on Sep 29th. Went above and beyond, however:: his supervisor came out and was giving him a hard time about the assistant. Cannot say enough good things about the kindness of his heart. We need more ppl like this in our daily life. Employee 10 out of 10, supervisor read more

JEREMY is the best ever. He is so nice and understanding and wants to help you. Great service.

This review is for the service Jeremy provided me today. It was pouring rain and of course one of my wiper blades was missing. Jeremy not only helped me figure out what type I needed but he stood in the rain and replaced them for me!! It wasn't just sprinkling it was pouring cats and dogs. He was more than fine with it, and didn't make me feel bad. I had my toddler with me in the car and we were in a hurry and he went above and beyond! Thank you so much Jeremy!! read more

They don't have change for you if you buy cash they also are not helpful if you're looking for something the old guy acts too good for his job read more

Manager Cesar went above and beyond in customer care and service! He verified my purchase was the right make/model for my car, saving me an unnecessary trip back for an exchange. He even installed a cabin filter for me, saving me $$$. read more

Came here because I bought a new battery elsewhere but I wasn't strong enough to lift it into my truck to install it. I'm certain it isn't in his job description, but Jeremy helped this damsel in distress and I could not be more grateful. While helping me, another lady was having difficultly installing a trailer light she had just purchased here and when he was done with my battery he went over and helped her. I will definitely be coming here for all my future auto needs because while parts are just parts, their customer service is way above and beyond. Thank you Jeremy!!!!! read more

I needed some shop towels that soak up moister well. After approaching the counter and asking the for some help, the attendant recommended the Scott's brand. He was friendly enough, but was a little short with his response. They carry a variety of the Scott's brand, but I needed some specifically for glass, and for $2.59, I was able to get a roll of 90 wipes. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/o-reilly-auto-parts-santee?select=O0VvWwu05VQPtPOW7JOUwA#-LrXU5garMNa7vMQG37IiA) This particular location was well stocked and has plenty of parking. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/o-reilly-auto-parts-santee?select=O0VvWwu05VQPtPOW7JOUwA#O0VvWwu05VQPtPOW7JOUwA) The employees seemed to be plugging away at their business as I browsed the store. I was actually surprised that no one asked if I needed help as I aimlessly looked around before I asked for help. Still, I got what I needed at a good price, so I was satisfied. read more

Just got home from the shop and I really have to give a shout out to Mike from tonight. I went to get my brother's battery replaced and the connector on the terminal had been overtightened and just wouldn't come apart. Mike was extremely determined and so good natured about it. He persevered and got it to come off and replaced the battery for me. I really wanted to just say thanks to him again for being so helpful and so nice at the same time. They also had a better price than AutoZone for the battery, so I might start getting my car needs from here from now on. read more

I stopped in last night for a refund on a lifetime warranty item. Nick apologized and issued a refund. I was in and out of there in a minute. Thank you Nick! read more

Helpful and efficient. This was my first time there and it'll be my starting point from here on out.

Came in twice in two days. Day one, the manager put a new battery in my car remote. Seems simple, but not only is this good service, but the previous owner used locktite on the screw. Next day, I needed a battery. The gentleman helped with selection and tools for installation. When I returned the core, he installed a battery clamp, which required hacksaw cutting the j-hook. Few places left that provide this quality level of service. Thank you!! read more

Larry helped me put on new wiper blades. Such a nice friendly person. I'll be sure and go to this auto parts store if/when I need anything auto related. Thank you everyone. read more

I love O'Reillys the fact that there all owned by one owner, so they all carry the same stuff and treat you the same is great. There employees are always friendly and knowledgeable. There prices are competitive and they seem to have most things in stock when I need it. Definitely recommend and will shop here again... read more

Nick was amazing! He was so friendly and helpful. I appreciate good customer service because it's hard to get now days! Nick you are great :) read more

This guy Mike at Oreillys is amazing. He helped me out with a creaky door in my car to make sure there wasn't a major problem because my car's dealership has gotten a lot of my money recently. He found the problem and sold me a $5 can of silicone spray, showed me where to spray it, and assured me that I'm not dumb for not knowing what to do. He is a very friendly, knowledgeable employee and I would recommend you ask for him when you come to the santee location. I'm sure the other employees are great too, but mike deserves a pat on the back. Thank you! read more

Kevin is the best. He really helped me figure out things for my first car. I knew i needed wiper blade fluid, but i ended up buying so much more that i didn't even think of. This is the only auto parts store i go too, and i live all the way in Chula Vista. Kevin has helped me with numerous car questions, and will continue to be the person i go too. read more

Idiot at the desk couldn't read the chart on the Bosch wipers for my Honda. Kept reassuring me that 19 either A or B would work on both sides. How freaking hard is it to look up the correct info? Jesus. Bad on me for trusting some guy behind the counter who obviously didn't care whether I was buying the right equipment for my car. read more

I will come back here for anything and everything auto parts related! First experience here I had a bulb out for my blinker. I came in to buy the bulb and without me even asking Theodore offered to put it in for me right there. He was so nice and helpful and saved me so much time and ultimately the headache I would have gotten searching youtube videos on how to do this myself. I was so impressed and grateful that I told everyone and I was back the next weekend for the same issue in my husband's truck. What do you know Theodore was there again and offered to do the same thing no hesitation. Head in here for anything you need you won't regret it! read more

Anytime I need something I go to a OReilly's no matter where I am. Good prices and the employees know their jobs.

Shout out to Mike who went above and beyond taking care of my tail light. Customer Service is so important these days and O'Reilly has mastered it. Oh and by the way their prices were better than the other auto part stores. read more

After spending and wasting my time at AutoZone, when numerous employees could have peeled off their work to help me, no one did, I went across the street to O'Reillys; The second I walked in Adrean was quick to stop what he was doing to assist me. He was very helpful and courteous. I will give all my business to O'Reilly and never set foot in Auto Zone again. read more

Kevin the manager was so nice! I went in looking for screws for my license plate and he went outside and tried on 3 different screws to make sure I got the right one. Thanks Kevin read more

The one white older gentleman working there is great, but all the other employees are worthless. Asked for vacuum line and get high pressure fuel line which was 7 times the price. Then I got charged for two feet when I asked for and received only a 1' 4" section. Not my first bad experience and I will no longer be doing business at this location read more

Mike was amazing!! Super helpful. Made sure that my car was all taken care of. It's rare to find a worker with the mentality that he has. I will absolutely be coming back for any car needs!! Thank you Mike!! read more

One of my headlights burned out and I needed a replacement. Cruised on down here and walked inside. I was greeted promptly, told the lady what I needed, she showed me a few options and I was on my way. The price was right and the shop looked to be very well stocked. I received extremely helpful service and I will come back again if I need some auto parts. That's about it...not much else to say ;-) read more

Just stopped by to pick up replacement brake light bulbs. Wade exemplified customer service. Who knew a quick visit would be so fulfilling? Anyway, thank you Wade for showing the general public how to exceed beyond customer expectations. He made us feel like family and like we've been going there for years. Good on you! read more

Worst customer service I've experienced in a while. Went to get 5qts of oil for my car, and noticed there was a sale. The particular oil I wanted didn't have a sale tag on it, so I took it to the girl at the counter to ask if it qualified for the sale. She got a serious rude attitude, and when I started asking about the oil filter that I thought was supposed to come free with the sale, she started speaking rudely of me to the other sales associate and even dropped the F bomb when speaking about me. I told them no worries, I'll just go to Auto Zone. Turns out there is an Auto Zone at the next traffic light. I would highly recommend going there instead of this place. Auto Zone explained the sale they had going on, (which was the same as Oreillys) gave me my oil filter, and even brought the oil to the register for me. Thanks Auto Zone! read more

Great customer service! Brandon was friendly, knowledgeable and professional! He even helped me change the battery, even tested it and made sure it wasn't the alternator. Service with a smile! Highly recommended! read more

MIKE WAS AWESOME!! Giving this store 5 stars because of MIKE! Customer service is very important to me and he went above and beyond to help me with my tail light today! I went in for 1 tail light to be fixed and little did I know I had 4 out! He always checked my front lights, blinkers as well! my light was a pain in the butt to get off and he tried so hard! It was extremely hot outside and he was sweating trying to get it done for me!! He went above and beyond! Thank you so much MIKE YOUR THE BESTTTTT! read more
