Went in to O'Reilly Auto Parts, Hwy 7, Blue Springs, MO to get a brake light switch for a 98 Ford Escort. Was a little frustrated since I had to drive the Escort there with the brake lights not working properly and mentioned my concern and that I did not want to drive any further than I had to in order to get the part for traffic safety reasons and of course the possibility of getting a ticket and car towed. The person ordering the part for me rubbed his hands together and smiled a big smile when I asked the price: $35 (and change). Got home and called Advance Auto Parts, Blue Springs, MO. The price of the same part is $26.79. I have never compared pricing on these two businesses before. But I am very suspicious when I realized near $10 difference in price and wonder if the guy at O'Reilly jacked up the price thinking I would not go anywhere else. So I called O'Reilly to cancel the order and told them I found it for $10 less at Advance Auto Parts, the O'Reilly employee did not offer any discount on their part, and when I said: 'thanks for trying to rip me off', he said: 'not a problem'.

Not trying to make you look like an idiot but he did say brake light switch--not light--and why didn't the employee offer the item in master pro?

Your kidding right

AUTHOR: Robert - (U.S.A.)

Are you serious?  You are saying that you have never had one store charge you more than another for an item?

I guess when this guy rubbed his hands together that was a signal that he was getting some magical power to increase the cost of the part.  I am surprised that you didn't accuse him of trying to personally pocket the increase.

You're An Idiot

AUTHOR: Jeff - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, August 24, 2010

You're an idiot. Different companies charge different prices for parts. Further, your story is unbelievable. Why would any auto parts store have to order a light for an Escort? That is a stock item.

You're a competitor trying to slander the name of a good company.
