This La Crescenta O'Reilly really is a neighborhood auto parts store. We started having battery issues with our hybrid during the winter break, and after a jump start that worked for about 3 weeks, the aux battery once again failed to start our car. This was a specialty battery, so it took a while to find a place that had it in stock with decent prices. I know O'Reilly is not usually the cheapest place to buy auto parts, however Chris was able to find me a discount that I could use that did make it cheaper than other "big name auto part stores" in the area. We even got a quote from a local auto repair shop for battery and install which was almost double what the O'Reilly battery cost.
But what made this an excellent neighborhood O'Reilly was the excellent service that Chris provided in addition to just selling the battery. First, he wanted to test the battery to make sure we needed one. Second, when it was determined to be a bad battery, which already confirmed what we knew due to needing mulitple jump starts, Chris actually installed it for us for no extra charge! So in actuallity, even though the price of the battery was similar to other stores (even cheaper with the discount Chris was able to find), the extra service Chris provided made it much more valuable and worth it. Very glad to have this store near our neighborhood which had a needed part in stock and installed less than an hour!
