Woke up to a dead battery 12/30/2025. After verifying that it was the battery I started looking online for a replacement. Went to O’Reilly website and found a replacement battery that I wanted to purchase. So I had gone to this location since it was only literally 2 blocks away from my house on the same side of the road instead of going to Autozone which is across a busy street that I didn’t want to cross since I was on my electric scooter. I bring my battery in set it on the counter and was greeted by Gary as he spit his chew juice into a plastic bottle. I let him know that I was on the website and wanted a particular 24 series battery. Year make and model he says as he spits more chew juice out. I give him the specs on the vehicle hoping that it will make the transaction smoother. This is where things get interesting. He shows 3 batteries. Then he starts in on CCA or cold Cranking Amps. I listen to him and politely ask him to please sell me the battery I want that it fits the application for my vehicle. This upset Gary very much. But before I go any further let me say that Gary never asked me any qualifying questions like if I was going to travel outside of Florida, ect. So let me explain what CCA stands for. It’s basically how much power a battery can deliver at 0 degrees. At best he should explain CA which measures the same thing as CCA just at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Put a chew in and get educated Gary! After listening to Gary’s diarrhea at the mouth about CCA in Florida because ya when’s the last time it got down to 0 degrees here in the TampaBay area I have to say 3 times just sell me the battery. Finally he says no warranty! Finally I can get outta here! I have to say that I have been turning wrenches since the 1980’s and then professionally from the mid 90’s. I’m almost willing to bet money that he would sell you something like a cam and crank sensor for a foreign vehicle then help you chase down gremlins that are tripping your check engine light because the values on those aftermarket sensors you just installed are not the same as OEM. UPDATED 1/14/2026 I had scanned the QR code and completed the survey including providing feedback which not only included my e-mail but my phone number also on the date of my purchase which was 12/30/2025 Hey O’Reillys I waited for you to contact me between 12/30 - 1/14? Now you want me to contact you Again since I wrote a google review to hear about my experience?
