Highly recommend. Went to a competitor who had no knowledge of my vehicle, even though their computer system tells them what I need. They pointed me in the direction of Advance Auto because they only had one battery in stock. Interestingly learned at Advanced that my vehicle only takes one battery, which was the one the competitor had in stock. Thankfully I had Carlos assist me at Advanced. He made my night. Turns out my battery was in great condition and didn’t need replacing. I would have been out a couple dollars if Carlos didn’t help. I’ll never return to that competitor spot and will forever be a lifelong customer of Advanced.

Advance Auto is well-stocked, excellent customer service, they definitely set a high standard , for parts availability amongst their competitors. It was my first time going in there with my son and I was pleasantly surprised with the whole layout of the store. Check them out you will be satisfied just like I was.

Good selection, staff is very helpful if it’s not too busy. Better than autozone down the road, I feel like those ladies always talk trash when you leave. Just a feeling, I don’t know.

About a year ago in the freezing cold my gas tank door was frozen shut. Theres a button on the inside and it releases a latch that was just stuck. I have a 2016 jeep overland. Even went in through the trunk straight to the release wire and nothing worked. And of course i had no gas (I found out it wasnt working at the gas station). The lock de icer didnt work and sadly I cant remember the name of the nice young man who helped me but I literally gave him full permission to rip the door off, and he amazingly through the crack of the gas door he undid the latch, popped the door open and gave me the latch undamaged to put back on after I got gas. I have nothing but good things to say. Its about a year later and my gas door has the same latch and is working fine.

Went in to buy headlights for a honda vehicle. A particular customer took up a good 15 minutes going back and forth about a car battery. While there were only 2 associatesone was in a total fog had no clue how to tend to customers kept insisting on putting hub caps into a box when clearly told to tend to the customers. There were only 3 customers and it took me 20 minutes to get 2 light bulbs. I will avoid this store like covid 19. Truly dissapointed. In all fairness i will give credit to the second associate an older gentleman who tried hard to help his customers.

Will not come back here again! Came to buy a battery and before the guy even attempted said he wouldn’t be able to switch the battery for me because it was an older vehicle. He tried for about a minute and said he couldn’t do it. I went home and replaced it on my own without a single problem. The lack of knowledge/effort from the workers here is a joke 👎🏼

Great store, great service! Very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable staff. They installed my new car battery and my new windshield wiper blades at no cost. The cheaper battery wasnt in stock so I spent more than Id intended, but it was such a relief to have someone install it for me right there, that it was worth it. Saved me from going to a repair shop or getting stranded! I signed up for membership, which offers additional savings. I will be back to this store, and I will definitely refer friends and family here.

Just found out that my life time warranty is only good for one starter,the replacement starter is not warranted. So only one defective starter per customer!!! I dont think I will purchase anything else from advance Auto parts!!!!!
