They also refund a core charge for old batteries, even if you didn't buy them there (this may be state-mandated, but O'Reilly's doesn't balk at accepting them). In the past they tell me some jerks would take advantage of that service by including stuff that can't be recycled, ruining the entire vat, so they make a reasonable effort to avoid that. It seems Amazon & big box stores may have made the prices at O'Reilly's (& other brick-&-mortar stores) more competitive in recent years.

Online I scheduled an appointment for 10:30 am the next day, making sure it was for the store in Scotts Valley, including that I needed a battery for an iPhone 13 Pro. The appointment was confirmed by text and email that day, and again the next morning. When I arrived at the store, I was told that the technician would not be in for another fifteen minutes. And they did not have the battery that I needed in stock anyway. When I asked why I was allowed to make an appointment when I did, I was told that is corporate. The store had nothing to do with that.

There are hardly words to express how amazing Ron and his shop is...I brought my car to 3 other…read moreshops before advanced auto and one thing after the other I felt like I was just getting scammed one after the other, literally thousands of dollars down the drain with no results whatsoever. But after leaving my car with Ron for a couple of days, who was not only quick to answer the phone, even on his break or day off, but he also spoke to me like a human, explained anything I might not have understood, but he also charged me a fair price. I think he probably put way more time in than he admitted, and all in all he is just a respectable smart person who isn't out to rip you off in the slightest, but he would rather fix your problems the best he can and yeah...I could go on but that sums it up. My car runs WAY better than it did before, and I think some things were fixed because of what he did that I didn't even expect to be fixed at all. Wow, all I can say is WOW, I highly recommend.

My car collector friend recommended Nate Smith's Optimal Auto Care, and I'm glad I took his advice…read more I brought in a 2007 BMW Z4 Coupe that had a stubborn issue. It always pulled to the right. Multiple shops including a dealership had tried to fix the issue, but Nate Smith's Optimal Auto Care was the one that finally solved the puzzle. Rather than throwing parts at the problem, they were able align the car taking into account of all the variables that could make a car pull to the right. In this case, it turned out to be tire pull, uneven cross camber and toe. The car now drives perfectly straight. I was a mechanical engineer by training, and I could not be happier with the result. Thank you Nate, Antonio, Jeremy, and Chris. -- Gary Liu

I attempted to work with the group through email but kept getting excuses and being told to wait longer. Over two weeks to get a part delivered, even through USPS, is excessive in today's market. The site does not set expectations on purchases and then shrugs when you questions why things are taking so long. Jon is the worst person I've ever dealt with at a small business. He complains that "hundreds of people call weekly who are upset" and literally said "welcome to my sh__ty 9-5 job" when I told him he should talk to his managers about fixing what is an obviously broken process. Jon will not allow you to speak with anyone who might help resolve a situation (i.e. refund, replacement) but instead tells you to open a support ticket with "and I see all of those" implying that he won't help you try to fix your situation. Dealing with Jon and Electric Scooter Parts boils down to: 1. Not our fault we had -insert excuse- 2. It's your fault for selecting -insert shipping- 3. It's the shipper's fault contact them 4. Just wait some undisclosed "case by case" basis for your parts to maybe arrive I opened a better business complaint due to their deceptive sales practices. If support is receiving "hundreds" of calls a week about delayed shipping then the company should resolve the problem and inform customers of actual wait times so we can make better decisions about where to spend our money. This is the worst company I've ever had the unfortunate experience of using. No wonder we all go to Amazon.
