Guy Under Car Repair

Having the right tools can help make repair jobs quicker and easier, and the O’Reilly Auto Parts Loaner Tool Program provides rental tools for a number of different automotive maintenance jobs and specialty repairs. The Loaner Tool Program includes over 80 tools for rent, including steering and suspension, electrical and diagnostic, engine and clutch, air conditioning and cooling, ball joint, pullers, exhaust, power steering, tie rod and pitman arm, tube bending, and brake, tire, and wheel loaner tools. You can find these automotive rental tools at your local O'Reilly Auto Parts, where we also carry all the parts necessary for your repair and can provide the advice you need to get the job done right the first time.

To rent tools from your local O’Reilly Auto Parts, simply purchase the auto parts you need and put down a deposit on the rental tool. Return the rental tool in its original condition and receive a full refund when you bring it back. Need the same rental tool for another repair? Come pick it up again, or feel free to just keep the rental tool once you’ve paid your deposit. The deposit is also the purchase price, so if you decide you’ll use the tool often enough, you can keep it and add it to your collection. It's that easy.

Rental tool availability may vary from store to store, so we suggest you contact your local O'Reilly Auto Parts store or visit OReillyAuto.com to check available inventory of the tool or tools you need.

When you need to perform steering and suspension repairs, we have you covered at O’Reilly Auto Parts. Some suspension services and repairs can be a daunting or impossible task if you do not have the right tools. The most common suspension repairs involve repairing or replacing ball joints, struts, or springs. For these common repairs, we offer tools such as ball joint presses, tie rod and ball joint separators, strut spring compressors, and more. We also rent tie rod removers, pitman arm pullers, and steering wheel pullers to help you complete your repair, as well as inner tie rod sockets and torsion bar tools. Whatever part of the steering or suspension system you are working on, you can find a rental tool at O’Reilly Auto Parts to help you make your repair the right way.

Brake pad and rotor service has long been one of the most common repairs performed at home by do-it-yourself mechanics. Though this job may not require special tools in many cases, some vehicles may take special tools to spread calipers wide enough to fit new brake pads. This repair also provides you with an opportunity to evaluate the rest of your braking system and wheel end so you can perform other maintenance at the same time. O’Reilly Auto Parts has rental tools for your brake repairs, including brake caliper rewind tools, brake line flaring and bending tools, and tools for hub and wheel end service. For your hub and axle repairs, we also carry rental axle and hub pullers, bearing race drivers, axle nut sockets, and hub sockets to help you tackle any job.

Diagnostic tools can help you narrow down what is causing any issues you may be experiencing on your vehicle, but diagnostic equipment can be very expensive to purchase. Take advantage of O’Reilly Auto Parts' diagnostic tool rental options to help you begin diagnosis on your next repair. You can rent relay circuit testers, noid light sets, and other testing and diagnostic tools that are available to take home and return when you’ve completed the repair for a full refund.

Alternator Replacement Tool Rentals

Replacing your alternator is usually a straightforward job, however, some vehicles may require special tools to correctly remove and reinstall the belts or pulleys on the alternator. If that is the case on your vehicle, we carry an alternator repair kit to help you complete the repair. No matter what it takes to replace your alternator, make sure you have the right tools to make your alternator repair easier and more successful with the right tools from O’Reilly Auto Parts.

Engine, clutch, and emissions system repair and diagnosis is often among the most complicated and time-consuming tasks when maintaining or repairing your vehicle. Whether you’re rebuilding your engine, repairing or replacing your clutch, or repairing your emissions system, O’Reilly Auto Parts carries the rental tools you need to complete the job the first time. We carry harmonic balancer pullers and installation tools, timing gear pullers and tools, piston ring compressors and cylinder hones, and valve spring compressors to complete your engine rebuild.

Your air conditioning system may only see use in the heat of the summer, but your cooling system needs to work its best all year round. When either of these systems need attention, O’Reilly Auto Parts has the right rental tools for your repair. We carry fan clutch wrench sets and tools, radiator test kits, stretch belt and serpentine belt tools, and more for your cooling system repairs. We also have specialized A/C tools such as A/C clutch hub pullers, A/C manifold gauges, A/C flush kits, or automotive A/C vacuum pumps to help you test and recharge your A/C system. You only need to pay the deposit when you purchase your parts to get the A/C or cooling system rental tools you need, and you’ll get the deposit back when you return the tools.

If you have a puller in your toolbox, it may not see much use unless you frequently tackle larger repair jobs. Though pullers may be handy tools when you need them, you may only need a puller once or twice for a specific repair. We carry suspension pullers and other rental tools such as tools for tie rods and pitman arms, as well as harmonic balancer pullers and timing gear pullers for the engine. We also carry universal jaw and gear pullers as well as slide hammers, even for heavy-duty applications. Get the puller or installer kit you need and save yourself the expense of having to purchase these tools for a single job.

If you’ve chosen to tackle your own exhaust repair, you may not have access to many of the tools used by professional mechanics or exhaust fabricators when they build a full exhaust system. This can make it difficult to perform many bigger exhaust repairs. However, if you need to perform at-home exhaust fitment repairs and component replacements, you can check out our selection of exhaust rental tools, including exhaust pipe cutters and pipe expanders for flaring exhaust fittings for a perfect fit and an easy, at-home replacement, all without spending money on the tools you need to get the job done.
