Advance Auto Parts

I came in with a list of specific things my mechanic advised me to get for my next tune up, spark plugs and belts. Having very little knowledge about car parts, I do as I am told exactly. The spark plugs that I was told to get were about $ 10 apiece and the cashier, who was very knowledgeable, advised me to get an less expensive option that was $ 6 each because he felt they were just as good. I appreciated that he actually tried to point me in the direction of what he thought was best, not just what would cost the most. They are kind folks that work here and I’ll be returning for future auto needs.

The other week I noticed that my car was starting funny. I had a feeling that it was the battery and that it was on its last legs. Sure enough after crossing my fingers, rubbing my lucky rabbits foot, and saying a pray as I cranked the engine… NOTHING. After getting it started from a jump I headed over to Advance Auto Parts to have them test my battery. Walked in and found an associated to help me right away (as I left my car running in the parking lot). He came right out, tested my battery — test showed it was dead. He helped me with all of my options for batteries that they had in the store and we settled on «better» out of the good, better, best. After I purchased it, he came out and installed the new battery in my car. All in all, I was there for only about 30 minutes and my car has been starting like a charm ever since. The services they offer for testing and installing new batteries is AWESOME! Makes a headache of a situation painless and quick!

I stopped in here to grab a new air freshener. I quickly found what I was looking for and proceeded to check out — quick in and out. They were having a problem with the automated portion of the credit card machine which held up the person in front of me. The person at the register called someone else to come up and ring me out. I have visited this location previously and the staff was attentive at that time as well. Seems like a great location to ‘shop’ for your car/​truck/​suv.
