Advance Auto Parts in other cities:
I just stopped there very briefly to make an important cellphone call. I have been there before in the past, and the staff is quite helpful. My car is 10 years old, and they found the running light bulb for me right away. Im not sure, but I think they might have put it in for me??? (It was quite a while ago.)
Convenient location with knowledgeable staff. I didnt buy anything, but they were very helpful, and offered to special order the item I needed and have it next day. If I lived near their store I would have gladly done business there.With four other people in the store, they handled all customers with equal importance. Not only did they look up the item I needed, but also offered suggestions for a like item. It may be just a parts store, but the people working there are far from average, mostly because they treat each customer with their undivided attention.
Used to have a super solid crew about 2 years ago.. After Peggy left the place kind of took a dive.. Aaron came back and helped make it better again.. Now hes gone.. Mike is still there at least, but other than that the store no longer has anybody with any real knowledge..
Youd have to pay shipping with online parts stores. Thanks for the tip, Mr. Manager.After returning THE WRONG PART *the assumption Id get the right part the FIRST time was why I went to your brick and mortar store* I notice I am not being refunded a $6 shipping fee. No one told me about this fee and the part wasnt even $6. So, I paid $6 for THEIR mistake and wont be doing a lick of business there again. That was the managers response....What CROOKS.

2022-03-31I needed a particular nut driver the counter man was great had a pro set and a novice set of ratchets to choose from, I was in and out I usually go here for parts, they are close on Altamont Ave near home who could ask for more.

2022-01-31Went to get oil and filter, they are not going to carry the filters anymore that is on the bundle price. I picked another filter, that was the same price as the bundle price filter, but would not do the bundle price ? So they have a bundle price that is bogus since they do not have the oil filter. switch and bait, No longer will i buy from them.

2022-07-10Bought front rotors and ceramic brake pads and went to install them and one of the brake pad clips was out of spec and did not fit. I brought the pads back to see how to resolve the situation and they acted as if i dont know what im doing and that i was installing wrong. They told me if i give you new clips you are still going to have the same problem. They did wind up giving me another set of clips but there was no reason to make it seem like i dont know what im doing, ive installed plenty of brakes. They put the other clips back in another box as if there was nothing wrong with them. I hope someone else doesnt get them because they are deffinately not right. I installed the new clips with no problem.Edited: I wound up receiving these same messed up clips with another set of pads months later and had the same exact problem as they didnt fit and had to go back and repeat the same exact process. Ridiculous! Ever since my business has been with anyone other than advance auto.

2021-07-25Went in looking for a specific part for my hyundai that was said in stock online. Talked to one of the employees asking for it, the man sitting in the stool at the other register interrupts and says I dont stock hyundai parts saying it rudely. Well, the man that was helping me found the part in stock...so, place is rude and they dont even wanna sell you the parts they have in stock!

2021-07-08Terrible. Brought in a battery which needed a charge. Came back 24 hours later and they forgot to charge it. Manager assured me he’d charge it. Came back 24 hours after that, picked it up and installed it. Dead. Brought it to AutoZone where they confirmed they didn’t put it on the charger… again. Complete waste of my time. Go somewhere else where they actually do what they say they’ll do.

2020-09-12You know, I appreciate the workers at the store. I admit that I am not happy how some of the customers treat some of the employees from the times I have been there, thinking they are these master mechanics when they are only trying to sell and help you get the parts you need to get the job done. One in particular who has been treated pretty harshly by customers when he had difficulty trying to find or explain parts to them. Calling him things I will not say here, making fun of his speech impairment and those people should be ashamed of themselves. Seriously, if you have that much anger and hate that you need to bully an employee who is trying his best like asking why is he even working there when he has difficulty finding the product for you then you need to take a hard look at your life.

2020-09-09Not enough staff at the counter to take care of guests leading to an impatient and unpleasant line of customers. Three or four employees walking around the back should be able to assist customers out on the floor or in line. Otherwise a very clean and well stocked shop. Staff was pleasant and seemingly knowledgeable. Cashier even assisted a customer place new wipers on his truck.

2020-02-05Bought two batteries from them in the past 2 years and both died prior to coming out of warranty. Brought them back and without (much) trouble... was given a brand new one. I hope these last longer than a year. Otherwise ordering parts online and then picking up has never been a problem.
