A good parts store. Just make a copy of your receipt. The ink wears off and after so long the records are deleted from their system. Handicap parking and handicap accessible. Staff very helpful and knowledgeable. They will put batteries in for you, install your wipers, and check your alternator and starter to see if they are working properly. Restrooms available. I recommend this parts store.

Your experience here depends on your own knowledge of cars. If youre here getting a part you know, then youll have no problems. If you dont, sometimes the staff dont know much more than you. It really is a gamble. Ive had great service here when I knew exactly what I was getting but other trouble when the staff member I was working with was just as clueless as myself. Hit or miss.

Hey just a business tip: don’t list parts as β€œin stock” for online order pickup if they’re not actually in stock. Giant waste of my time, and now my car repair is delayed by a week thanks to this.

Visited there today, 9/23/2020, around 1:45 PM. Needed my rear windshield wiper replaced. Staff member with two stars tattooed on his neck snapped off the hook that holds the wiper while taking the wiper off. Saw him telling the other coworkers behind the Γ§ounter that he broke off the part, but they all pretended I wasnt even standing there. Came to find out I have to get this part replaced at a dealership. Staff member handed me the part, said they couldnt do anything, didnt even acknowledge that he damaged the part or even apologized for doing so, and then walked away. This is one of the worst customer service experiences Ive ever had. Now Im probably going to have to pay to have the entire windshield wiper replaced because the wiper itself will not latch on due to the broken hook.

I have had nothing but pleasant experiences here. My past three visits are perfect proof. I came once in the pouring rain in need of a new battery, having driven on a jump start for three hours with a van full of family and a dog, after a long weekend. I was in no mood for niceties and the guy who installed the battery did so quickly and efficiently while I trudged through the downpour next door to buy groceries. I returned a few weeks later because that same, new battery was quickly dying. Upon testing it Tanya immediately showed me it was a dud - absolutely no attempt to hide the fact that Id bought a lemon battery - and got me set up with an in-guarantee replacement battery and installation. I was out the door within 25 minutes. Then, a few weeks ago, I went back again in fear of a dying battery in a different car. The same two folks - Tanya and another - were working, and they quickly got my battery tested again, at no charge. It turned out to be fine but, if I had needed to replace the battery, I wouldnt have hesitated to slap the debit card down and have them install whatever they recommended. Theyre honest workers and always deliver a fast, pleasant experience. It doesnt hurt that they supply my favorite mechanic, Tim, across the street. Chain stores and mega companies are a dime a dozen these days but this really is a great place for whatever auto needs you have.

Giving this five star review for brad. Just now came in to get my battery charged/tested. Brad without a doubt was very helpful and pleasant do deal with. He was very courteous and professional and tested my battery. When he was done testing my battery he told me the results and that my battery was just fine. Didnt try to sell me anything that I did not need. I will not hesitate to come back to this location for any goods or services that I need.On the other hand also dealt with tonya. She was very snotty and rude! She deserves a one star and a meeting with the store manager on how to be more professional in the workplace as this is totally unacceptable behavior.

Review β„–26

Horrible customer service. No books out on the shelves so you can look up a part yourself. There was one guy at the counter having trouble finding something for a customer and what sounded like 3 other guys in the back cussing up a storm. Very unprofessional.

Exception service - saved the day. I had a flat tire while at Chipotle and when I put the full size spare tire on the car I realized the tire store messed up (years ago) and put the tire on a rim that had lug net holes that were too small. I could get the lug nuts in but there was no room for a socket or the lug nut wrench. This was a huge problem because I was two hours from home and it was a Sunday so all tire places were closed.I walked to a different auto parts store (in the snow and in cold weather) and they couldnt help nor did I feel like they tried very hard. Instead of giving up I walked to Advanced Auto Parts and Joe, Tonya, and Kayla could not have been more helpful. They emphasized with me and were determined to find a solution. The first attempt was longer lug nuts. They went on the car and I could thread them but only hand tight - I still couldnt get a wrench on them. With the hand tightened lug nuts I slowly drive three blocks to their parking lot. Thats when they took over. They went outside to see what we were dealing with and ended trying multiple solutions until they found the perfect one - lug nuts with the same threads but a much smaller diameter. This let me tighten them using a very narrow socket off the shelf that they let me use along with a ratchet they let me borrow. These three saved the day for me and I am so thankful for them.

Review β„–38

Google My Business showed the store was open until 9 pm on Sunday. After striking out at two other stores I was ecstatic that I still had a half hour to get to my local Advance Auto, as their site said the part was in stock. I drove there as gas as I could, got there at 8:20 and found the doors locked (although there were cars in the lot).It was just one more annoyance for me with this place. It’s usually my last choice because the staff there seems compelled to walk in the opposite direction of anyone approaching them with a question. I’ve been sent home more than once with the wrong part because the only thing the guy behind the desk could only offer was, β€œWell, that’s what the computer says’l

The store manager (the tall heavier woman that works in there) is rude. Last visit she swore up and down a specific part was what we needed and it was not correct then she wouldnt take the part back even with a recipt and we had never even left the parking lot. Ever since then its nothing but hell every time we walk in the store. Poor customer service, horrible people skills.
