Entered the store one evening to quickly find what I needed. I realized after I was in the middle of the store neither employee was wearing a mask. I am more cautious about my surroundings as I enter businesses now. Lesson learned. I will shop elsewhere for parts from now on.
Edit (5/25/21) - Original review was written during the mask mandate pre-vaccine. Take what you will from the employees (in)actions...---Rating would be much higher if any of the THREE employees in the store had been wearing masks...I got my part and got out. I’ll go elsewhere next time. Plus, it seems like this has been a persistent problem according to other reviews.
I unfortunately had a very negative experience at this location. I normally dont post reviews but I feel this is important to share in case their are any WOMAN thinking of coming here. Firstly the man who helped me WAS NOT WEARING A MASK! Secondly this man talked down to his female coworker, insisting he change my battery because he could accomplish this task faster than her. Thirdly, as I was getting in my car to leave he called me babe. NOT OK EVER. This type of flirtatious language from a stranger is inappropriate and makes woman feel uncomfortable, its especially inappropriate because I am a customer. I do not feel safe or comfortable in this space and I wont be returning.
Came in 10 minutes to close, the cashier was still helpful and got me everything I needed. Unlike most auto parts stores where the person behind the counter doesnt know much about cars, the staff here was knowledgeable and recommended an extra tool. I figured it was just an up sell and went along with it but it cut my repair time in half having it!
They opened 10 minutes late I walked in the door and they told me I had to go back outside and wait in the snow because the registers werent powered up yet like its my fault that they showed up to work late. I have things to do too... I said you guys are supposed to open 10 minutes ago he said we open when we are ready

2022-02-04Went to get my starter tested and the older gentleman behind the counter told me it was a waste of his time and he would not do it for me. He didnt think that was the problem from the description I gave him of what was happening. Told me to call the dealership. I called the dealership and they told me that everything I said sounds exactly like the starter. My guess is he just didnt want to come outside and do it in the cold. Maybe you shouldnt offer a service if your employees dont even want to perform it for customers.

2022-06-11Great customer service! Was greeted when I walked in. Very knowledgeable. What I needed wasn’t on the shelf but they went and found it in the back for me.

2022-06-06They sold me windshield wiper fluid for $4.50 a gallon, saying “the prices have gone up, and it’s because of Biden”. Walmart has it for $2.66 a gallon. Not only is it price gouging, but don’t appreciate the political contents. Shop elsewhere!

2022-02-10I called to ask if I could loan a tool, and was told they didnt have anything to let me take home and never see it back again, which means they assumed I would steal. The representative seemed in a hurry, did not listen and was condescending. The gentleman probably needs a little bonus, or a small vacation or just some time off. Please help him. Thank you!

2021-05-08I went in to look at car wax. They had a variety of spray on, butter, snd cream. I finally choose one and went to go to the counter. The man said Ill take care of you sir, after all there was a slew of men and he wanted to come quickly from the stacks behind the counter. Oops sorry about that Madame. He was pleasant and ready to help. I would have asked a question but I didnt have one to ask. I would go again. Prices seem lower than Walmart!

2021-03-08I have never experienced such poor customer service and unprofessional conduct in my life. Up until today I have been a happy customer of Advance auto parts in Henrietta, NY. I came into the store for my girlfriend looking for a replacement head light lamp for her 2004 Camry. I brought in the burnt bulb and handed it to an associate, I said Can you please help me locate the proper replacement for this burnt bulb, I need the exact one and dont know how to locate it. He politely assisted me and I purchased a double pack of bulbs on his recommendation. Keep in mind this is an auto parts store that bases their business off of connecting their customers to the proper auto parts based on their needs. Accurate customer service and supply of quality parts. Am I wrong? The next day I opened the package and attempted to connect the wire harness to the new bulb, only to find the part didnt fit. I thought, Oh well, they gave me the wrong part on accident, no big deal Ill just go exchange the part for the correct part, I have the receipt, no big deal, right? Nay nay! Much to my dismay, the manager present tonight had nothing more to say to me then I cant, I cant. Over and over this supposed manager refused to remedy the mistake of one of his associates. No exchange, no refund nothing. He claimed if its been opened it cannot be returned. I had the receipt, I had the packaging, I had the unused parts, is it too much to ask you to take some accountability and fix your mistake? I was outraged. To add to the debacle, this manager showed his true colors by exhibiting even further shady business practices. When I asked for his bosss name and number he refused. He walked away and hid in the back of the store. When I asked for his name he said Mike, when I asked his last name he refused to tell me. Yeah, thats right. He knew what he was doing was pathetic. But here you go, Mike. You were the manager on duty on Sunday March 7th 2021 at 6 pm. Dont know who you are but Im sure itll be easy enough for your boss to figure it out. I can deal with being sold the wrong part, what I cant deal with is a local business selling customers the wrong parts and taking no responsibility for their mistakes. I understand policy, however given the circumstances, there is always exceptions or some degree of understanding that should be afforded to the customer, right? And refusing to let me talk to your manager, and saying nothing to me other than I cant I cant, and showing an unwillingness to express any attempt to make their mistake right is asinine. Is this seriously Advance Auto Parts best attempt at customer service? How can they hope to survive their competition if they continue to let their employees treat their customers this way. Look at Amazon. They built their business on the basis of unbeatable customer service. Seriously guys, get a clue. Where is my option for zero stars?
