O’Reilly Auto Parts

A-​okay. Just dropped by to buy a jug of windshield wiper fluid refill.
4 stars for service, because the staff tries to be very helpful. But overall I give it 3 stars, because this auto parts store is not as well stocked as others. Previously, I had to drive to the Geary location to find the right color paint for a DIY touch up repair.
This place was a Kragen Auto Parts, became O’Reilly after 2011.
Hours: 7:30am-9pm (Sundays 8am-​8pm)

Prices = moderate.
Service = helpful.
Coolant low level sensor alarm came on in my 17-​year-​old car. I tolerated it for 3 days but today, I had to get the coolant.
I made sure to check the coolant under the hood first. Looked and noted the color. It was reddish. (Don’t ask how I came to knowing to do this without realizing it).
Got into the line, and asked the guy about getting coolant for my old car. He looked it up, and noted the color, and told me only orange or green colors, no red. I told him, let’s try the orange, at least that’s closer to red than green would be.
Then he asked if I wanted it with water or without. I said with water. (As in already mixed. Concentrate is probably a better buy but I don’t have a bucket handy for mixing.) So O’Reilly’s ⁵⁰⁄₅₀ mix it was. $ 12.99 plus tax.
Parking = tricky. It’s on Mission. Some side street parking.

Nice young guy who rang us up both times we came in. Young, cute Latino guy. He was really friendly the first time we came in and then today I came back and he remembered me, he gave my man some good advice on some car talk stuff, it’s all Chinese to me, but he was very helpful and knowledgeable. Great employee!
