So, I was shopping online and was drilling down to select my car. Imagine my surprise since I am from Louisville to run upon the page below.

Hint: Again, I am from Louisville, KY.

Select 84 and ford and you will see what they are talking about. look under the L's in the vehicle selection.

Same here. All I saw was an oil ad. Did a google search and saw "Ford Louisville" listed as a big honking truck like used in moving trucks, water trucks, etc. Cool.

Puter

Oh, duh.
It is pulling my vehicle from a cookie.
I should have known.

As Jake says, select 84, then Ford.
Look at the selection of vehicles that you can select.

And you wonder why they give you the wrong parts when you go to the store! :-)

Puter

Yep, you got it Mike. I had never heard of them, although I know of the Louisville plant for my uncle worked there and I have family about a mile from it. They are huge trucks. A couple of links to examples...

My question is given this :

why even bother to look at O'Reilly's website at all???

Rogue

few reasons why parts warehouse is not big boy on the block

#1 they are not everywhere
#2 they are not opened after 5 pm!

Puter

Simple.

O'Reilly's has a website, even if it is beta.
Parts Warehouse does not.

I like shopping with no help from anyone else on things like ordering options (I never knew a brake booster came loaded or not, never bought one before), availability, price range, appearance, etc.

I also visited Autozone, Advance Auto, and NAPA. Car quest has a website, but it is not what I need.

Sorry, I wasn't clear - my point was "anyone BUT O'Reilly" - if they think we're foolish enough to pay a 300% markup, then they're not getting any of my business.

Puter

Oh, Mike, I agree. I just shop. I research as much as I can, no matter where it comes from. I want to know that I understand my options and warranties, and all those things. Then I can go and plop money down.

It does give me a chuckle when I see their prices. I guess it is like being curious at a car wreck.
