Drum & Rotor Resurfacing
Most O'Reilly Auto Parts locations can resurface your vehicle's drums and rotors if they measure within specs and aren't showing signs of extreme wear. Surface finish is crucial to proper vehicle braking and pad life and should always be part of a complete brake job. Please contact your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store for pricing and availability on drum and rotor resurfacing.
Battery Testing - Free
Extreme temperatures in both winter and summer play a large part in battery failures. Bring your battery into any O'Reilly Auto Parts store for a complete diagnostic check at no charge. Our Parts Professionals can test your battery, and if it's about to fail, help you find the right Super Start battery for your needs.
Alternator & Starter Testing - Free
Alternator: To maintain the battery and keep up with the electrical system demands of your vehicle, the alternator has to put out between 13.5 and 14.8 volts. If you are having charging system issues and suspect the alternator, your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store can test it, on or off the vehicle, to determine where you may have a problem.
Starter: Starting system problems are common, but not all problems are caused by a faulty starter motor. If you are having intermittent starting problems, stop by your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store and let us test your starting system. If the vehicle won't start and you suspect the starter is the problem, bring the starter in and our Parts Professionals can bench test it.
Wiper Blade & Bulb Installation - Free
Our Parts Professionals will install wiper blades and replacement bulbs free of charge (with purchase of wiper blades or bulbs). Whether you’ve bought front or rear wipers (or both), headlights or tail lights, we’d be happy to install them for you.

Check Engine Light Testing - Free
A check engine light is often the first warning of a potential problem. O'Reilly Auto Parts offers free check engine light testing to help you diagnose the problem. Most of our stores can loan you a code reader for OBD 1&2 systems for vehicles from 1996 and up, except in areas where it is prohibited by law. Also, our stores now offer "Trouble Code Support," and they can provide you a print out to identify your code. Further diagnostic or repair service is not offered, but our stores are happy to refer you to a local professional. For more details on the loaner code reader and Trouble Code Support, please call your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store.
