- QKQueen KongSep 16, 20262.0experience at O’Reilly Auto Parts today was absolutely terrible. I went in with a very simple question about a bolt for the undercarriage of my vehicle, and the employee seemed completely uninterested in listening to what I was saying or understanding what I was asking. What frustrated me the most was the lack of fundamental reading comprehension and basic understanding. I was explaining the situation as clearly as I could, yet I felt like the employee wasn’t actually listening or making any effort to comprehend what I needed help with. For a basic question, the interaction was unnecessarily difficult and frustrating. Honestly, the experience left me questioning the level of training and customer service expected from the employees at this location. It genuinely felt like the hiring standards were extremely low because there was such a lack of basic knowledge, communication, and willingness to help. I came in expecting a simple answer or at least someone willing to point me in the right direction. Instead, I left feeling completely dismissed. I’m sharing this because customers deserve to feel heard and assisted when they walk into a business. After today’s experience, I have no reason to return to this O’Reilly Auto Parts location in Ames
- MAMr.M ASep 13, 20265.0Great experience at Advance Auto Parts! Zach was extremely helpful, friendly, and professional. He took the time to help me and made everything easy. Excellent customer service. Thank you, Zach! Highly recommend!
- KNKurt NAug 16, 20265.0Excellent customer service from Zach getting our wipers put on correctly for us and looking up parts for us inside. I was peppering him with questions about the wipers because it was one of the weirdest connectors I'd seen and the aftermarket adapters looked completely different than the wipers we'd taken off. He was patient in showing me what he was doing and getting us squared away. I like to know how things work, especially if Zach's not there next time I have to change them, LoL, so I appreciated him taking the time to show me how the kit went together to fit the new wipers on. Today I learned what Top Lock I&L connectors are...
- CSCece ShepardAug 8, 20265.0I went in to get parts. Zach was extremely helpful and went above and beyond to look up what I needed and cross reference. He also gave me recommendations. I am switching from O'Reilly to this place because of this young man's exceptional service. Ty Zach for going above and beyond. Also ty for helping the gentleman change his battery in the terrible heat without complaint. God bless you. I believe you deserve a raise.
- MBMorgan BeckerAug 3, 20265.0Amy was so helpful and kind when I came in to buy a new battery and get it installed!!!

How much does a car battery cost?
A traditional lead/acid car battery can range between $60-$120. The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
