O'Reilly Auto Parts store #2829 on Foothill Boulevard in Oakland carries a wide selection of parts, tools, and accessories. It offers store services like free battery testing, wiper blade and bulb installation, and Check Engine light testing, along with a free Loaner Tool program. Customers report excellent, friendly, professional, and efficient customer service. Staff are patient, honest, and helpful in explaining options and installing parts like windshield wipers for free, allowing customers to be in and out efficiently. The store frequently has the specific parts needed with good stock. However, the location presents challenges. The outside of the business has issues with people loitering and blocking the walkway, especially in the mornings, along with graffiti and trash. The parking lot is considered dangerous, with incidents of people trying to break into cars, reflecting a bad neighborhood. Despite these environmental issues, many customers are pleased with the service and return because the store often has the part they need.
