Our Culture
The O'Reilly Culture is our commitment to our customers and our team members.
Where It All Began
Where It All Began
O’Reilly Automotive, Inc., officially started in the auto parts business in a single store in Springfield, Missouri, on Dec. 2, 1957. Today, we have more than 6,000 stores in 48 U.S. states, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. A lot has changed since our founding, but one thing has remained constant: the importance of our culture. Team O’Reilly has remained committed to our culture values, and that’s something that won’t change.
"The O'Reilly Culture is what fuels this company and sets us apart. Living our culture helps inspire many team members in a positive way and in turn I have seen so many team members build an outstanding career."
Ramon O., Senior Vice President, Northeast Store Operations and Sales
Our Culture Values
"Our commitment to one of our culture values, teamwork, is an integral part in creating a great environment for both our customers and our team members."
Bobbi W., District Manager
Giving Back to Our Communities
Giving Back to Our Communities
O'Reilly team members are involved in their communities, donating to back-to-school events, volunteering at food banks and relief agencies, taking on projects during the United Way's Day of Caring, and much more.
Child Advocacy Center
Members of our Information Technology Project Management team volunteered at The Child Advocacy Center in Springfield, Missouri. They helped make blankets to benefit local children.
Habitat for Humanity
Members of our corporate team volunteered at Habitat for Humanity of Springfield, Missouri during the Women Build event. They helped hang siding and installed a support for the covered back porch.
Reading is Fundamental
Members of our corporate team volunteered their time at a local elementary school, reading to kids and helping them choose free books to take home. They also helped students create their own books.
Ozarks Food Harvest
The O'Reilly Auto Parts Legal Department volunteered at Ozarks Food Harvest. They packed food boxes with 27 meals for 480 local seniors.
Charity Golf Tournaments
Our team members volunteered at the Boys & Girls Clubs during the United Way Day of Caring. They helped build and fill raised garden beds so kids could learn about growing their own food.
Team O'Reilly groups regularly attend volunteer nights at Convoy of Hope, an international relief agency headquartered in Springfield, Missouri.
O'Reilly teams across the country regularly help out local kids. In this case, Vince Grindle, store manager in Okeechobee, Florida, lent a helping hand with the local football team's car wash fundraiser.
Blood Drives
Team members across the country regularly participate in blood drives. In this particular instance, Wied Gay, City Counter Driver in Seagoville, Texas, donated to Carter BloodCare.
"In my 28 years with O'Reilly, a lot has changed. The one thing that hasn't changed is the culture. It is what separates us from our competition and binds us as a team."
Don M., Senior Director, Region 6
