O’Reilly Auto Parts
O’Reilly is one of North America’s largest auto parts retailers, selling replacement parts, tools and accessories through about 6,600 stores to repair shops and to drivers who fix their own cars, roughly half each.
Repair shops now buy as much as DIY drivers.
Half of sales go to professional mechanics, a market O’Reilly has served alongside retail since 1978.
