The front end rebuild on my truck was a nightmare basically due to them. If they were here once, they were here 50 times in a two day time frame.
We're seriously considering using Advanced Auto instead, especially after talking to several mechanic shops in town about O'Reillys.
Ever since CSK merged with them it seems they have been replacing the better quality brands CSK used to carry with no-name junk brands and the prices went up. You can't even get a Stant radiator cap or gas cap there any more.

I have switched to Auto Zone because of it. Better prices and better quality brands.
