I went to o'Reilly auto parts to get a jumper cable. The mechanics had great recommendations on ones to choose. It did the job and I was able to start my car. Thanks for the great referral! read more

Great place to buy anything your car needs. I went in today, I needed a break light for my car, which had gone out, the guy at the register, sorry didn't get his name, took the time to look for it for me, he didn't just tell me where to look, he grabbed it for me. They are always so nice there. I appreciate good customer service read more

Had the worst customer service experience here, specifically with Antonio. I came at 6pm on a Monday to get a check engine light diagnosis and Antonio refused me service due to the fact there were only 2 people working. That didn't make sense to me, but he told me to come back the next day and I confirmed with him that 7:30am would be okay when the manager opens the store. I came back at 7:30am and was refused service again due to the fact that only the manager was there which was more understandable, but I was already frustrated that I took 2 times out of my schedule to come here. He told me I can come anytime in the evening when there's more than one person and that what Antonio had told me was incorrect. So I returned yet again after work at 5:30pm on Tuesday. Antonio was very rude and tried to refuse me service again because there was only him and Luis working (which was a lie). Only after I told him that I spoke with the manager did he disappear into the back and bring out a 3rd staff member, Augusto, to help me. There's no reason why it took 3 separate visits to be able to get this service done, especially given that it literally takes less than 5 minutes. I've gone to other O'Reillys before and have never had this issue. I would definitely not recommend this location and will not be returning. read more

Jorge and Manuel were extremely helpful and accommodating showing me patience and a helpfulness I have not experienced elsewhere. They literally made my day. read more

Manuel was really helpful and help me and my wife with our battery issues. Will be coming back. Thank you!

Went in and was the only person in line waiting. Five different people behind the counter couldn't find time help me or even acknowledge I was there. After 10 minutes I left. I won't waste my time there again. read more

El servicio es muy malo los trabajadores están jugando pedi informes para mi coche solo me señaló el tipo hispano alto de pelo chino ,, sin importar que voy a comprar me dijo busque ahí , no me explicó o no quiso que le preguntara más jamás volveré a este sitio read more

Juan was very rude and said he only speaks Spanish. Tony was a gentleman if only we didn't encounter Juan first I would have given 5 stars to Tony. I sensed a bit of racism my fiancee who was born in Mexico City had a shirt that said America on it and I'm a first born Irish American. Sucks when people treat you like your nothing. Thanks again Tony. Keep shining. Without your help it would have been a Zero and a no sale. read more

Helpful staff. Nice selection of merchandise. Convenient location. They have parking too

Kumar and Nathan helped me understand the check engine light. They were patient, friendly, knowledgeable, and pros. Kumar even recommended Stress-free Auto Care (Mike and John are awesome). O'Reilly comes through again! read more

Great service! They answered my phone call and question. Had exactly what I needed! Will visit again!

Worst service. For the young man at the front counter, if someone is asking for assistance, the least you can do is come from behind the counter and offer some. Instead, you decided to converse with friends/coworkers. What could've been a 5 minute purchase, turned into 30 mins more. Thank you so much Kyle, you deserve employee of the month. read more

The bestest best auto parts store in the whole wide world! The top radiator hose on my beater 3rd car, a 1990 Honda Accord, blew out/ruptured/exploded on the way to bring my son to hockey practice tonight at the nearby rink. Home Depot, within walking distance, didn't have anything close to being appropriate. This O'Reilly's did, by Uber. They had the actual part I needed. For a car more than 30 years old. Hallelujah! They even had two different kinds, I had a choice! Dang. So I got one, got a screwdriver for the hose clamps, and the guy there helped me with that too, awesome service guy, and I was all set! Uber'ed back to the rink, swapped hoses in no time, and made our way back home after my son was done. By the way, my real car is a 2001 Mustang Bullitt, and my wife of course, has a newer and more expensive Macan S. So I know cars. Awesome awesome auto parts store, and I could tell that the service guy there was genuinely happy he could help me. Two thumbs up! read more

I like this place, don't get me wrong but my last experience was not properly handle by the assistant manager Jaime. Bought an oil filter and a gallon of oil for my car, spilled all the oil I placed due to a wrong oil filter. Returned the filter and had Jaime confirm if it was the right one before I told him what happened. He said YES and insisted on it. I was not convinced. An associate overheard our conversation, Anthony, out of curiousity he looked it up, sure enough, they gave me the wrong filter. They did post my original purchase, the inputed the correct part number but gave me the wrong one, period ! They replaced the filter but not the oil that was spilled. Jaime didn't want to get involved at all. Anthony was very helpful but one would expect empathy from the manager for their store's mistake and replace ALL the parts involved in good faith. No effort whatsoever. If this was Procedures in place by Oreilly's, then I am very disappointed. read more

I'm not a car guy that does everything themselves. I've never changed my own oil. Heck, I am go to Costco to get my tires rotated. I recently bought headlights. After two weeks, one bulb blew out. Went back with no receipt and hand, and the people here worked with me to find my purchase. They helped me save money, because it was the right thing to do. Fan for life. read more

Came in due to a possible battery issue. Lucky for me, Eirik was working. He tested the battery, cleaned the connections and tested again to confirm the battery was bad. He provided tools for me to remove and replace my battery on site, saving me a return trip with the old battery. Great service, yet again!! read more

Poor customer service, both employees that were in the counter did not help at all they just stand there. It hasn't been the same since they reopen read more

Today was the first time I've been to O'Reilly Auto Parts on Norfolk in San Mateo. Wow what a great experience thanks to Jaime who helped me diagnosis the possible reasons for my check engine soon light coming on in my car. Jaime even gave me prices for the 2 most likely parts needed. A friend suggested I go there after she had a good experience and I'll make the same suggestion to others. Great people like Jaime and the customer service at this store make this a 5 star rating! read more

Excellent customer service! Armando went above and beyond in helping me with my new car battery! Thank you Armando for being so helpful and thank you to this store for offering great service! read more

Came in on Wednesday for a serpentine belt that we had ordered on Monday, and the associates who supposedly put it on hold must've forgot to do their job because there wasn't even one in stock. We wasted 45 minutes in the store with the horrible assistant manager who couldn't find the belt, because it was out of stock. We went to another O'Reilly that had the belt in stock, but what a waste of time. read more

I had a bad experience with one of the employees I don't know if they are all the same but I asked him for help with fixing the AC in my car and he refused help and I tried to return the product to him without of used and he refused read more

Poor service, basic car knowledge and wasted 1/2 day with inaccurate parts and inventory availability.

My car wouldn't start, and after doing some research, found out I needed a new battery. Called them up, and said they had the battery I need and could install it same day. Roushan helped me, and he was very friendly, efficient. I love how they price match and install batteries for free. Very great service. Everyone there was friendly, and I noticed they recognized a lot of customers, who were probably regulars. A+ Thank you!! read more

Gas Cap on my clunker broke. (luckily it was AFTER I had filled up my empty tank and not prior to filling it up)... Couldn't find easy way (online) to remove it (drilling holes into the gas cap!?! wtf?) BUT, you'd be surprised how may search results there are for "How do I remove my broken gas cap?" Anyway, took quick lunch break to the neighborhood Kragen-O'Reilly Auto-Parts. Eugene, was super helpful (and friendly) and got in in-n-out animal style quick. He even suggested that I roll across the street to the auto service shop and ask them to help me out instead of trying to McGyver it myself. The auto-service station popped off the broken gas cap in... less than 1 minute. FTW! read more

This is the place to be for minor replacement parts, fluids and basic accessories. Shop is Clean, not crowded, friendly staff, good selections and wide parking.. and its close to Papa John's Pizza :) read more

Every time I need help, they are always there for my car. I buy what they honestly recommend and they help me install. Wonderful!

I seem to come back to this store the most compared to any others. Workers are helpful and willing to try to find information for you to the best of their abilities. read more

If I could give zero strars I would. It's awful customer service, unless you're Latino. They speak Spanish to you, even though they know you can't. They make you wait in line, even though there are other clerks who could assist. I give every merchant one chance to be rude to me, and they get NO more bussiness from me. If you want a better experience, you can find it almost anywhere else! read more

I was really hesitant to go in because of the Covid19 scare and living with an immune compromised person. I called and asked if there were anyway to work around it and the gentlemen working were so helpful, considerate, & professional. I have to say this was the best customer service I've had in YEARS! I'll definitely be back. Please stay safe and take good care. read more

I want to show my appreciation to Anthony over at the shoreview location. He was honest, friendly and knowledgeable.

Stay away from this shop! Employees are incompetent! They sold us parts that did not fit in our car! They gave us a hard time when we wanted to return the wrong items they suggested for us! STAY AWAY! This shop needs to shutdown immediately! read more

I bought paint Online so I could take advantage of curb side pickup. When I called outside for my purchase I was told they were busy and I would need to go inside. Eight customers and employees crowded around the counter. I was livid. I never saw them clean the front door after a dozen people went inside and out. One less customer for them. I will let you know if I catch Covid. Now two days after this debacle. read more

These guys are completely lost. I've gone to this place a couple of times and every time I go there they sell me the wrong part. 3 times, 3 wrong parts. Do yourself a favor and go to Autozone or better yet NAPA Auto. read more

We had a headlight go out, so I checked out the reviews of auto parts stores in San Mateo as I was going to be in the area. I called first to make sure the part was in stock, and they were very helpful and even quoted me the price. When I arrived, Roush greeted me, found my part, went with me to help me take the old part out, and then helped me put the new part in. Unbelievable customer service. I highly recommend O'Reilly Auto Parts! read more

I received great help here from the Asst Mngr Roushe. This is the reason I still shop at brick-and-mortar stores for auto parts -- the friendly and knowledgeable staff. Online stores offer tons of options but it can be hard to know which parts are best and to be confident that they're indeed the right parts. Getting help from staff members that have a database of information and hands-on experience makes all the difference. And the price for the auto parts I needed were actually less expensive here at O'Reileys! Thanks!! read more

Kind friendly place to go for parts and advice

Close by to my house which makes it a plus but also they always have what u need for a cheap price compared to when I go to a mechanic and they give three times the price of this place . Open long hours and staff is very friendly and helpful ... read more

This O'Reilly is the best! Roush was so helpful when I had a problem replacing the parking lights of my Honda Pilot. He and the other Hispanic guy (sorry, I forgot his name) went above and beyond in helping me change the bulb. Very friendly staff and has the desire to help their customers. Excellent customer service! read more

The staff is not very helpful at all, seems they didn't enjoy their jobs. Not a true parts house. I will be looking for another place.
