O’Reilly Auto Parts Store Services & Features



FREE Store Services at O’Reilly Auto Parts

Free Battery Testing and Installation

Unsure if your battery is performing its best? Simply drive your vehicle to an O’Reilly Auto Parts location near you or bring in your battery for free battery testing and battery recharging on most marine, motorcycle and ATV, heavy-duty, AGM, lawn and garden, and car batteries. Our parts professionals will use a car battery tester to test your battery on or off the vehicle and help you decide if your car battery needs to be replaced or recharged, or if another part of your charging or starting system may be failing. If you need a replacement battery, our parts professionals can help you find the right one for your vehicle, and will even install new batteries in many vehicles for free*.

*Some vehicle batteries may not be serviceable at O'Reilly locations due to hard-to-access battery compartments or specific technical requirements for replacement. If your vehicle's battery is inaccessible, requires extensive disassembly to access, or if the manufacturer requires a battery saver or system reset during installation, you may not be eligible for our on-site installation service.

Free Oil, Fluid, and Battery Recycling

If you have leftover or used oil, other fluids, or a dead battery sitting around, visit an O’Reilly location near you* to take advantage of our free fluid recycling and battery recycling. Not only can our parts professionals recycle marine, lawn care, household, and motorcycle batteries, but you can earn a $10 O’Reilly Auto Parts gift card for any undamaged, non-core return automotive battery that you recycle! O’Reilly Auto Parts can also recycle gear oil, transmission fluid, motor oil, power steering fluid, and more to help you sustainably complete your repairs or regular maintenance.

Free Starter & Alternator Testing

O’Reilly Auto Parts has the equipment and know-how to test alternators and starters, and can provide quick and free information to help you determine the health of your starting and charging system. Whether it is on or off the vehicle, we can test the condition of your starter or alternator to help you diagnose any potential issues and assist you in finding the right parts to make a necessary repair. If your car isn’t starting or charging and you need to check a starter or alternator’s condition which has already been removed from the vehicle, bring that part into your local O'Reilly Auto Parts to have it tested in the store with our bench top testers. Find an O’Reilly Auto Parts nearby and ask about free alternator testing and free starter testing to help keep your vehicle starting and running its best.

Brake Drum & Rotor Resurfacing

Maintain your vehicle’s brakes with the help of the parts professionals at O’Reilly. Not only do we carry the best replacement brake system parts, including pads, rotors, calipers, and more, we can also resurface brake rotors and drums for a small fee at most of our locations. Warped and glazed rotors can cause poor brake performance and vibration or pulsation when braking, and resurfacing your rotors can help return them to service safely and extend the life of your brake pads. As long as your vehicle’s brake drums or rotors measure within specifications and do not show signs of extreme wear, our parts professionals can perform brake rotor and brake drum resurfacing using specialty brake lathes at participating stores. Save money on your brake repair and ensure a lasting brake service by having your brake rotors or drums resurfaced at O’Reilly Auto Parts.
