If you think we could do some business, shoot me a PM. I'll send you my contact info. You'd get the Chiefsplanet discount.

i deal with mostly light trucks and passenger cars. but hey if you are ever down by the lakes area in need i can give the Chiefsplanet hookup too.

Glad you get good service from O'Reillys. I think they make good stuff and generally have what you need. However; at least in Topeka I can't remember the last time I got something from O'Reillys and did not have to return it because it was the wrong part. Even when I take in the bad part they seem to always eff it up. When I was growing up and living in Chanute the O'Reillys there was great, not so much here. I generally go to Advance now.

It's really all in who you talk to. Unfortunately, most people don't deal with them enough to have any idea who's good, and who was working a drive-through the previous week.

Yeah I understand that; but it seems no matter who and at any of the locations in town it is like that, at least more often than not.

Personally I have nothing but bad luck with them. They always give me the wrong part, and at times argue with me. I have had to go get the part out of my car to prove it before. Once they gave me a motor mount that was defective (the shaft was to long so I couldn't get the engine raised high enough to get the part on) When i took it bake they argued with me forever about it because it was installed. They finally got another one from the back and realized the shaft was much shorter. This eventually prompted them to give me another part, but they still acted like they were doing me a favor, but they did give me another part, and obviously a lot of people have had good encounters with them on here, so maybe it's just the ones in my area.

Do they sell loufas?

eh... never mind...

I don't know much about O Reilly's, I was told that advanced auto sells mostly cheap shit and to go to AutoZone, always had good luck with AutoZone.

As for service. I agree.

Parts are a pain in the balls. Especially if you are not a car guru. A little insight can go a long way in my book. I buy the high priced NAPA shit because I know it'll work and if it doesn't he'll help me out.

As for the suggestion about calling the supervisor, do it. Really. One of my friends gave me good service at Applebees. So I logged onto their website and left a comment. I mentioned it to him in passing and he said his boss made this giant deal about it, and gave him a really big helping of asskissing. If you appreciate the work, let the super know.

O'Reillys always does good by me. Sat by one of the owners on the plane back from Vegas a few weeks ago, great guy, good old school parts man. Plus my company does all tons of business with them.
