O’reilly Auto Parts

Cars are not as easy to work on they used to be, but when I need parts for what little car maintenance I do these days, this is the place I generally shop. I can get wiper blades, car batteries, head lights, engine belts, etc. Everything I need, although most of the real stuff is behind the counter. Quite a few specialty tools available for rent (I would never have gotten that belt tight enough without their tensioner).
The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. Store is well lit and clean.
I even acquired Christmas presents here the year when everyone’s stocking received a car emergency window hammer with seat belt cutter (one of those gizmos that if after an accident, you can’t open a car door or escape from your seat belt, the tool will save the day and probably your life).
