O’Reilly Auto Parts is now open in Beresford. The popular automotive supply store is located in the former Dollar General building on West Cedar Street. The store has been open for just a few weeks.
“The Beresford community and the surrounding area have been great to work with so far,” said Dustin Clausen, District Manager. “Everybody has been very enjoyable and they’ve been very welcoming of our business.”
All O’Reilly Auto Parts locations are corporate stores. The company decided to add a location in Beresford due to customers in the area requesting something closer.
The store offers a variety of auto parts and supplies.
“We are a specialty retailer that specializes in auto parts and parts related to the automotive industry,” explained Clausen. “We carry a full line of original equipment replacement automotive parts, but we also carry some performance, heavy duty, agricultural, marine, power sports, lawn and garden, and we make hydraulic hoses in house. We also carry a wide range of tools, and we offer a rental tool program for some specialty tools.”
Beresford’s location has nine team members led by Location Manager Josh Kobernusz.
“Our nine employees are a combination of full and part time staff,” he explained. “Many of our team members have a strong automotive background and everybody at the store is excited about the opportunity to help out the community.”
O’Reilly Auto Parts is a great place to shop due to all the extras the store provides, Kobernusz said.
“We offer premium products at an affordable price,” he said. “We have well trained parts professionals on our team that are able to read vehicle trouble codes to help with diagnostics. We also test batteries, alternators, and starters. We have the capability to turn most brake drums and rotors. Not just that, but we offer free installation of wipers, most car batteries, and most light bulbs.”
O’Reilly Auto Parts is a Midwest-based company. It was founded in Springfield, Missouri, in 1957. The company now has more than 6,300 locations across the United States. Beresford’s store is open Monday through Saturday, 7:30 a.m. until 8 p.m. and on Sundays from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m.
“We are excited about the opportunity to serve Beresford and the surrounding area!” Kobernusz said.
