I applied in-person. The process took 4 days. I interviewed at O'Reilly Auto Parts (Melrose Park, IL) in Oct 2015
Interview
The manager was amazingly nice. Most of the questions were scenario based, and there was a "test" during the interview to see that you won't mess up organization. It helps if you have background knowledge on cars, but it's not needed because the job just requires one to know how to look up an item and find the right part, quickly.

Interview
It took a while for me to get an interview with the store manager but other than that everything else went smoothly and he had approved of me, even told me he wanted me on the team with one reason being that I was bilingual with Spanish and English.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at O'Reilly Auto Parts (Princeton, WV) in Mar 2022
Interview
All of these auto-parts stores around Mercer county West Virginia are a complete and total joke to work at. Got hired, told my pay was gonna be 14.00 an hour then somehow it became 12.00 an hour, the boss and assistant boss were on a total power trip, putting their fingers in peoples faces, talking nasty, to other employees, making inappropriate comments about younger girls. It was a sh*t show.

easy and fast, the interview was conducted in a professional manner and was easy to follow. The interview process will totally depend on who the store manager is. No different than interviewing for any other job or company.
