Always great service at O'Reilly. I visit O'Reilly before every maintenance visit to my mechanic. My mechanic is awesome, but doesn't carry Mobil 1, which is my preferred brand of synthetic oil, and I'm particular about what I put in my car. I always find what I need at O'Reilly, and the staff is always friendly, and happy to help if you have any questions or are looking for auto parts. Both the Blanding and Central locations in Alameda are excellent. One time after purchasing new windshield wipers, an O'Reilly associate installed them for me, in the rain, without me even asking. Much appreciated. Thank you, O'Reilly, keep up the great work and excellent service. read more

Asked for help and the Asian guy at the front helped me find the item right away, he seems like the supervisor or manager. Alex (from the receipt name) rang me up, super friendly guy. Overall, this place is nice and neat, easy parking, and helpful. read more

2327 Blanding Ave Alameda, CA 94501 O'Reilly Auto Parts in Alameda (Blanding Ave) always has great customer service! The staff are always super knowledgeable! There's two O'Reilly Auto Parts stores in Alameda, and I like to drive out to the one on Blanding Ave. Why? Great customer service and knowledge of what their selling. On this day, I simply needed to replace a tail light bulb on my truck. The store had two types, regular and "super bright." I asked the clerk which one is better. He said the wattage is the same. Because the bulb is inside a colored housing, the brightest would be the same. It would be different if it was a clear housing. Okay, tail light fixed. Save $$ and DIY. read more

You know what could improve my thoughts on O'Reilly? They can start by knowing what their adds say and honoring what the add says. The add says "Buy a pair of brake rotors and get one set of brake pads free. Sounds like a pretty good deal right. Instead, I made the purchase of two rotors online this morning. This afternoon I go to pick up my order. No brake pads. They tell me that I needed to purchase the brake pads with the rotors and then when I picked it up they would back out the cost of the rotors. I told them that's not what the add says. They say well that's the way it works. I showed him the add and they have the add in their window. Anyway, long story shorter. No sale for them. Never again. Plain and simple false advertising. I realize the way they wanted me to do it is the same deal but it's the principle. They wanted me to do a return with a refund then make the purchase again with the pads. Total BS ! No more business from me. read more

I really like the service that I get every time I go to O'Reilly in Alameda, the one on Blanding. The people who work there work fast and are pleasant. The store is also well stocked, and bright. All in all, this local auto supply store is my go-to in Alameda! read more

Best service! Tristan is a maestro! He knew what parts I need, and helped me fix my problem immediately.

I recommend my brother to go to this location because it was closer to home but after the experience he just went through i would never walk into this store again the man working there just made him and my self feel really uncomfortable he basically followed him around the store and when I met with my brother in the car he kept staring at us thru the window I asked my brother what was going on he told me what happened Inside so he goes and asks if something is wrong and the man tells him I dont know you tell me so my brother goes back to the car and again the man comes to the front windows and keeps staring at us until I pull out my phone and he walks away read more

A very well stocked auto parts store! Lately, the auto parts stores I've been going into have very scattered shelves, which I understand due to the supply chain issues, but when I came in here, they had everything!! Located in the Park Street Landing Shopping Center, right next to the Park Street Bridge in Alameda, the shelves were completely full! I came here for some car wash supplies and other items, they had everything that I needed. Good auto parts store!! read more

I know very little about car parts and repair, but I did know that I was out of windshield wiper fluid, and that my left front headlight was out and the battery on my fob needed to be replaced. Fortunately a good friend recommended O'Reilly to me and I was able to get all that addressed easily and quickly I even got help installing the headlight replacement. Thanks, Richie! I had never been to this store before and was most delightfully pleased with the help, the friendliness and the value. And the amount that I spent was the number I had guesstimated - always so nice when that happens! read more

I came in looking like lost puppy. My driver's side windshield wiper popped off on the freeway and it is raining this evening. Tristan helped me out in 2 minutes and even installed my new wiper blade. Thank you, Tristan! I will be doing my shopping at this store/location from now on! read more

I've been going here for over 35 years. Very helpful staff and a well-stocked store.

Prices are competitive with Amazon and the staff herr always very helpful. Although I never go here for Auto Parts, I just go here for wash stuff and things to glam up my Benzo! read more

3/26/22 If you are following my travels, you might have figured that I leave some of my cars sitting too long. Well, for my classic (old) car, I would have to recharge the battery overnight every time I come home from my extensive travels. A friend suggested I go to O'Reilly to test my battery, starter, and alternator. Quality/Quantity - Excellent. Atmosphere - Easy parking. 3 entrances and exits into the mall. Service - 6 stars, Alex was very professional, friendly, and welcoming. He complimented my car. Checked our battery, starter, and alternator which all turned out good. Gave us good suggestions for the maintenance of our car, and even recommended competitors because they share similar prices. We will be a loyal customer as long as you have team members like Alex! Other Free Services: wiper blade installation, check engine light testing, loaner tool program, used oil & battery recycling, light bulb installation, etc. Additionally, they have a loyalty program. Their website has good and basic "how to" tutorials. Free shipping on orders $35+ Price - Free; forced Alex to take my tip!! He is so professional. The prices for merchandise are slightly higher than competitors, but how can you put a price on excellent service? Owner Suggestion - Congrats on all your success since 1957; Nasdaq 100 and S&P 500.

I wanted to take the time to personally thank TK for his outstanding customer service. He helped me a few weeks ago when I was purchasing a new headlight bulb. Unfortunately I had an issue with the light. TK, not all assisted me with a replacement, but was also very kind enough to assist me with inserting the new lightbulb. this location is very convenient, and has very helpful staff. Thank you TK for your assistance this evening, and I truly appreciate you willing to help me out. read more

What a horrible store. I'm been coming to this store for a long time. It's gotten worse and worse. This is my last time going there. The employees are beyond rude and unprofessional every time I've gone in. They are not requiring customers to wear masks and few were. The dude standing a few feet away from me hacking up a lung with no mask on. Disgusting! And again the rude rude employees. I'm out. Never again. read more

Victor was the employee at check-out. It was like talking to a wall, there was no hello and when i asked where the fuses were it was like i was speaking Chinese. After 5 attempts he said they are over there.... Can someone please sit this kid down and explain how one works in a store. Maybe this isn't the place for him but i was appalled... read more

I needed a part fixed on my car. The process was too easy & straightforward. Looked up some options and prices. They had it in stock at their Stockton warehouse & it was delivered same day. I got it the next morning & they made sure everything fit just as it should. read more

Clearly a lot of choice and some great offers. However eventhough they pride themselves on the knowledge they can offer to the customer , the luck of the draw was that the person I asked my question just did not have a clue nor was he going to get someone who actually did. Convenient car park. read more

Take good care of your car and it will take good care of you. I dont understand this American mentality of buying a new car, welding the hood shut, driving it to death and then dumping it after ringing out every last ounce of use from it with half a 5 year old burrito stuck between the seat. Its not like that in Germany... you will get a fine for bald tires and enviornmental fees for leaking oil. My dads a pilot and an engineer. Ask any mechanic, engineer, airplane pilot or car buff about maintenance. Its important. Cars and airplanes are built to be maintained. You can save a bit on it if you come here and do stuff yourself. Even more important than saving a few bucks is that you will learn about your car and the importance of an oil change for example. Ever change the oil on a car that has been way over due? After you do that once you will know firsthand the importance of maintenance and may respect your car more. Enough ranting. On to this store. Quiet, clean and friendly helpful workers. Ordered a KandN filter yesterday. Picked it up today after I was called that it was ready. So much more peaceful here that the Fruitvale auto parts store that I normally go to. Both are nearly equidistant to where I live. Probably worth going here. Alameda is like a different world. read more

This kid " Dakota" he doesn't know what he's doing in there. When I walked in the store he had his AirPod in and standing at the register like he was just at his Dads shop. I was standing and waiting for someone to help. Then I asked him are you able to help? He said yeah. So I had a return and I handed him my receipt and the part. I asked him to return it since I literally got it few hours ago from another o'Reillys store. He said oh wait here I will be back. He went in the back and came back after 10 mins and said oh I can't return it you have to go back to where you got it from. I got it from a store that was 45 mins away. I got it when I was visiting a friend there. Asked Dakota why they won't return he said " I won't return " like he was the Onwer. I asked him to show me where that says that I can't return a part at other location he started just acting like a high schooler. He said oh you don't even have your number in our system... like what? And I fucking handed him my correct receipt. Business that hire kids like him really destroy their reputation. Wouldn't recommend getting helped by him. read more

Always polite and helpful. Both times they replaced my battery for me. Came out and wrenched the whole thing. Really professional and good attitude. Will always come here for anything. They treat people right. Military discount too. Homeboy did scratch my car by putting the batter right on the fender. That was pretty crazy but I can't hate on a person for wanting to help. Take it easy next time playa!!! read more

My battery died on me so I called ahead to make sure this location checked batteries and if they would replace it for me. They checked and replaced the battery for free, I just had to buy a new one. I'm not very car savvy so this was extremely helpful. They were super fast and efficient and I got my military discount! Thank you guys so much! I didn't get their names but both employees on duty were helpful. 10/10 for their work. read more

Jack is the man. I came in Sunday morning for a quick pick up of new wiper blades before the rain comes in, since my previous ones were shot. Walked right in and was greeted by Jack, who was behind the counter, and right when I asked where the wiper blades where he immediately called me over and looked up my vehicle to make it even more effortless. He asked me if I wanted the same ones or new ones and retrieved them for me within seconds without making me leave the counter. He was conversating the entire time and after ringing me up he took me out to my car and installed my new ones in a matter of seconds as well as made sure they functioned properly before letting me go. He even gave me some quick pointers as to why my other ones were worn so quickly and how to maintain them to make them last even longer. This experience made me want to come back the next time I need anything for my car or any type of supply they might have. Check them out! read more

Something special about this place. I called and spoke to John about getting a motorcycle battery. Didn't have it, was calling other stores and offering to have it shipped over to his store. Employees here act like they own the place... what's the deal? read more

I had a great experience here today! I know almost nothing about cars, but today I knew I needed two new headlights. I went in with the plan to get some LED headlights along with items irrelevant to the 5 star review. When I heard the only LED option they had for my car make and model were LED fog lights, I was bummed because I had called ahead of time (I came from Oakland). I walked around a little more to collect the other items I still wanted, then made my way to the checkout. The super sweet Hispanic gal (her name escapes me, but starts with an A) was very helpful and asked if I found everything I needed. I said "almost"... then told her I wanted a pair of LED headlights. Her search pulled up the same results as the other person who checked previously. She informed me however, that many people use the fog lights as their headlights and it's totally fine. I was a skeptic, but she checked to make sure the connection to the part was the same for both the headlights that I needed and the fog lights that they had. Many would say they perhaps just wanted to make a sale, and ya, maybe that's true ‍ But with that said, this gal came out to my car, lifted the hood, and SHOWED me how to install them. AMAZING; She is a total badass. When I returned home, my husband and I installed them and they look AMAZING!! I could not be more satisfied with my experience. If I can get ahold of her name I will update my post because she deserves a shoutout. read more

During the winter time three items usually malfunction on your automobile: 1) Windshield wipers..count on those being replaced every one to two years 2) Headlamps...one or two go out, sometimes at night time. Look at how many cars drive around with one headlamp or none. 3) Battery...cold weather makes it difficult for an automobile to start up. This Kragen's /O Reilly's keeps plenty of these items in stock and when you have two automobiles it pays to visit them for purchasing vs. some of the other higher priced automotive stores. They stock quality wipers such as Anco and Bosch plus headlamps by Sylvania. These guys behind the desk have always helped me out and answered my questions. 5 stars for being knowledgeable. read more

Why isn't this Kragen listed? It is possibly the best Kragen ever, hello! So I've been having car trouble. I came in here to buy some cables with my uncle. Dude behind the counter took forever and I was getting pissed. It was hot and my mama was waiting at a gas station for us to rescue her. He was talking to some other dude, who was apparently his friend or something, and I think it was either him or dude behind the counter who mocked me when I asked the other guy in the store if there were any jumper cables in the store? Yeah, that's right. He laughed at me. But this review is not based upon him. It is based upon my hero who came to the rescue; the other guy in the store, who smiled and kindly pointed out the jumper cables. And then who helped me again when I came back into the store 10 minutes later and helped me pick out a car battery. Who smiled and kindly explained the battery's prices and everything when I said "I don't know anything about batteries. Just give me the best one." Who smiled and kindly waved me to the front register with a laugh when I came back into the store with a credit card. Who smiled and didn't even charge me the core price (because my old battery was coming out right then and there), sold me some $1 felt thingies to put around the battery thingy, and gave me 10% OFF MY PURCHASE. HOLY SHIZ. Who didn't even laugh at me when I said "are those felt thingies to prevent that blue-white stuff that was around the pole thing? Yeah, I'll take some cus that's what on my battery right now." Who helped me carry the battery to the parking lot because I apparently don't have any muscles in my arms. Who, not once, tried to take advantage of me not knowing anything and jacking up the price and selling me things I don't even need. Because why would he do that, and then give me 10% off? The only regret I have was not getting his name. Le sigh. Because he sure as hell made my day better when I was about to rip someone apart. I used to go to the Kragen on Park Blvd, but I think I'ma go here from now on. read more

This morning I stopped by O'Reilly Auto Parts (formerly Kragen, but all the same people still work there) to buy some car wax. Finding and choosing a wax was easy; paying for it was not. I stood at the cash register for several minutes while the manager, Kevin, chatted with a customer who was casually inquiring about several parts that had to be looked up on the computer and not sure what he wanted. Meanwhile David stood around, generally doing nothing except answering the phone once - I guess he can't work the register. When the customer was finally done, after his interaction with Kevin turned into chit chat, Kevin turned to me and asked what I wanted. What I really wanted was to walk out of the store, but my truck needs wax. He rang up the wax as the previous customer kept interrupting to ask more general questions. Of course, Kevin answered each of them as I again waited. Not once did he acknowledge the situation in any way or tell the guy he'd have to wait. What a waste of time. O'Reilly is the Home Depot of car parts; it probably has what you need but if you don't know what you need, where the part is, or expect the slightest professionalism, this ain't your place. read more

Definitely recommend; especially the helpfulness of Hak (Assistant Manager). Helpful, knowledgeable, and personable. My wife's previous experience with another worker reveals this Kragen regularly strives at length to be helpful. Shop here! read more

I was having a crappy day. My toddler was sick in his car seat and so I pulled over to get him and the car seat cleaned up. When we got settled back in the car, it would not start. Just great! I called my oil change guy who is a few blocks away and he graciously offered to come jump the car. He let me in on a secret or at least it was a secret to me. If you go to O'Reilly's and buy a battery from them, they will in most cases change it for you on the spot. What? Yes please!! I called ahead to make sure they had the battery I needed. Jack - the nicest guy ever took care of us in no time flat. He changed my battery and had my little guy and I on our way. He was the best!! I cannot thank him and O'Reilly enough for saving my day! read more

My new go-to place for parts. Rainy day - battery troubles. Already late for work, I came in to the store. They had two choices of batteries for my hard to find Audi. First of all, they loaned me the computer memory keeper that plugs into the lighter so the clock and radio and computer settings wouldn't need to be reset after disconnecting the battery. Then they threw in a pair of the terminal protector pads for free. Then the counter guy came out to help me change the battery in the rain. Took the old one inside and tested it to make sure it was just a bad battery and not electrical system issues. All told, in and out in 30 minutes.. Great service, I will be back. read more
