I was on my way back to NJ on my semi truck from Massachusetts and one of my radiator hose popped. I made my way to this Advanced Auto Parts. They didn’t have the hose but, Shah helped me find a way to fix it for me to be able to get to my mechanic in NJ.Thank you very much for your help Shah.

The employees here are always extremely helpful and friendly. Someone asks what I need before I even make it to the aisle I’m headed to and they’re honest with their recommendations when I ask. They are genuine and don’t act burdened by customers like other stores do. I make a point to come to this store over any other.

Shah always goes above and beyond to assist each and every customer! Although my family is said not to have the dog in the store anymore.LET THE DOG COME BACK

Normally this would be a 5 star review because I do business here often and its always been a great experience. However, Shah is probably the most rude individual Ive ever had the experience of doing business with. His attitude was poor and thats putting it lightly. God forbid you ask for a discount because I just got more attitude for attempting to use a team member discount that I use at literally every Advance Auto store Ive ever been to. This would be a zero star review if I could. Thanks for your help Shah.

I found the hose I was looking for only there. Better price and the person at the counter was very polite and helpful. Love the place

Is there a way to give no stars. If the manager is comfortable talking to people that way I can imagine how the employees are treated. Then in return how they treat each other and customers. So no return on tools ok. Exchange only ok. Talking to some one like they on the streets not ok. Respect is giving at all time and they wonder why auto parts people are treated like jokes and Ive been behind the counter too..

The Associate on Duty was extremely friendly, kind, & courteous. I asked for a light bulb, for my car (separate low beam/high beam headlights). He looked up my car, saw there were multiple options, walked out to my car, with me, to verify we had the correct bulb, for my low beam. As a Disabled Navy Vetersn, I GREATLY appreciated his attention to detail, & his willingness to do whatever it took, to ensure he got me the correct parts! Thank you, Advance...I WILL be back!

Guy at the front desk was freaky, but he was helpful. He seemed nervous.

I would give this particular store zero stars. I walked in to the pick up order counter where two employees were not doing anything to receive my online order. I was told to wait in line with the one employee actually doing work. Go back the next day and I just wanted to ask an employee to point me in the direction of the store I needed to go. I started with Can you before I was cut off and once again told to wait in line to ask the one person working again. I said I only had a question and he sighed like I was a burden. This guy, presumably the manager because he was telling what the other employees what needed to be done, was once again not doing anything and watched me as I walked away. As I bought what I needed (I needed that part that day) and walked out the store he told to have a good day with a smirk like he just won some kind of battle. I loved Advance Auto but this store alone has led to switch Autozone.

On multiple occasions have gone out of their way to ensure I got what I needed. They also helped me put together a custom intake. When I say put together, I mean select parts and physically put together. These guys are awesome

My wifes car battery is about 5 yrs old and heavily corroded. We were certain she needed a new battery. Out of the many car part chain stores that sell car batteries we chose Advanced Auto Parts because they sell the SEARS DIEHARD GOLD brand which is what I have in my truck. Our sales person was ANTHONY and he was friendly, professional, and said before buying the DieHard let our auto tech ROBERT check your battery to make sure it really needs a replacement. Robert also friendly and professional did the diagnostics and said the battery was Good and didnt need replacing at this time. TALK ABOUT HONESTY?? Wow, these guys are great and SMART because my wife and I are new fans and we will definitely give them first shot when we need any auto parts !!

Went to this location to buy a lug nut for my car and Jeremy went above and beyond to look up and locate it! He had a lot of customers to wait on but he was very nice to all of us since it was busy. He has a great sense of humor too! He found me the one remaining lug nut for my car!I just want to say this store is clean and well stocked and Jeremy is the best at taking care of all your auto needs and questions. I will definitely be coming back to this location for all my auto needs and highly recommend this store for anyone who needs auto parts.

Good people. Always willing to help you out. The 10% military discount is also a plus. They typically have what I need but if not, they locate it from another store and have it in a couple hours.

I looked around for a couple of minutes, but couldn’t find the lawnmower section. Apparently I looked as lost as I felt (my extent of knowledge on lawnmower repair stems from the YouTube video I watched 30 minutes prior) A staff member came to help once he was finished helping another customer. He showed me to the lawnmower section. I asked if they had a book that had info on which parts I needed. He asked his manager, who was a little rude and told me to google it. The younger gentleman was kind enough to google it for me and the result: my mower is running like new!

Found service to be quick and accurate. Parts on display have references to match with vehicle easily, and are plentiful (never had one out of stock).

Review №39

Does it really take two counter attendants to serve one customers easy request? Why, when there is a big sign in the window saying that they offer tools for loan, did they not have a straight blade screwdriver that would fit the hose clamp that I purchased there?

Quoted $38 for 2 economy wiper blades. Staff member tried to up sell even more expensive wipers. Went to Wal-Mart and paid $9. I wont be back to any Advance for anything. Price DOES matter.

Great service. I need a part for my Honda accord and Napa, Auto zone even the local Honda dealership itself couldnt get it for 2 days. Advanced Auto Parts got it in 24 hours and price matched AutoZone as well.

They have what you need they have a parking area the only thing is theyre a little pricey the help was friendly enough not anybody on the floor to help you look for things too much but they do come out from behind the counter to give you a hand so I guess thats a right hello some people wind up looking aimlessly for something that they want and they cant find it
