I think O'Reilly's purges their warranty information, anyone else had issues lately?

As far as the batteries go, that's just their new revamped battery program that the implemented about a month ago. It sucks balls.

What battery program is that?

Has anyone else issues w/ their receipts going blank, like the ink just disappeared?

Only when they get to be about 5-6 years old.

They seem to fade rather quickly. I keep mine in a dark shoebox, that seems to help.

Sir, Datsun did not have that option for that year, so you might want to check with the dealership on that.

And that was about the response I got and then we got to BS'ing about it and he got up to speed with what I needed.

The pro-rated battery warranty is gone. It is now 2 year free replacement, period, anything beyond that and you are S.O.L.. All the while their battery prices will not drop in price because of this, but instead are staying near the same, or more likely increase in price even more. So all in all you no longer have 72 months worth of warranty, only 24 months, of which the last 48 months will no longer be pro-rated.

lolz, what jackass told you that? It is completely untrue, unless you're talking about an Optima, which only has a 3 year free replacement warranty.

Looks like in the case of the shocks at least that the parts guy put it under a commercial account (possibly to give me a "hook-up" since I used to work at this store and I have had instances in the past with them putting it under their employee discount to "hook me up"). This actually pisses me off because I would much rather have the warranty versus 10% off or no tax or whatever the discount was for the bs shop they put me under.

Big thanks to talisman for looking this up (and doing some investigation), I just hope there is a way around this as I'd really like to warranty these things.

[talisman]

No prob man, just let me know if either avenue we talked about doesn't get it resolved.

It is supposedly an experimental change that may or may not stick depending on how the customer base reacts to the change, or so he tells me.

It's that crappy thermal ink paper stuff. If you have a receipt that you're going to keep, scan it or make a copy of it.

They were testing the new battery program in 100 stores to help gauge what the customer impact was going to be and make a decision from there. I haven't heard whether or not they have implemented it in any additional stores other than the original 100 or if they have decided to drop it completely. Obviously your location wasn't one of the 100 picked or you would have known about it.

Probably happening up in Springfield. Interesting, haven't heard anything about it yet.

should have kept the receipt.

Keep them out of the car, and out of direct light.

When I bought the Bronco it came with an entire folder of receipts. Some as new as 07 were barely legible and they had spent their whole life in a folder.
