Advance Auto Parts

I was in and out they always have the parts I need and there cheap. love it there helpful and fast can’t complain.

I LOVE Advance Auto parts. They do a diagnostics on your car, and help you fix the little things on your car without having to pay a fortune for a mechanic for little things you can do yourself.
They’ll change your windshield wipers for you, help you with fuses, pretty much everything but a busted engine.
They’ve got a great database which will tell you exactly what part you need for you make and model of car.
Top notch!

Up hands who hates when something goes wrong with their car?
EVERYONE!
Well, the wee blinking light on my rear end starting making funny noises when I would flick the turn signal to go left so I knew something was amiss… but of course, I valiantly ignored it until a friendly motorist pointed it out to me that my brake light and left turn signal weren’t working. Well I had two choices:
(1) continue to drive through Miami like 75% of the population with blatant disregard to such trivial matters such as indicating to fellow motorists as to which direction I was about to suddenly swerve my mammoth Ford Expedition or do the right thing; and
(2) change the bulbs pronto.
Hence my foray into Advance Auto Parts
An auto part store is like the doctor’s office… not somewhere you WANT to go to but somewhere you HAVE to go to in time of need.
This store is nicely laid out, easy to find what you need. About three staff there at 9:15 in the morning. But all of them were in the back helping one person when I came in.
So I find the bulbs all by my lonesome, and go to the catalog which supposedly lists the car model numbers and the matching bulb number but whaddya know… the fricking catalog goes as far as cars made in 2005. Great. Mine is a 2006 model… Out I go and dig in the glove box for the manual which wasn’t stolen because I had the fortune of not being Elizabeth at the Elite Event last night. Back into the store… find my bulbs. Take a wander around (cos I’m that type of person. who knows what random stuff you will find right??) find some car wash on sale for $ 3.99. Find a BEWARE OF DOG sign for $ 0.99 …good for warding off unwanted solicitors at the gate
Very short wait at the cash register and WOW… because I was waiting behind a lady returning something the person at the other register actually waved me ahead of the person who was in line (big line of two of us LOL).but I let him go ahead because he had one little can of oil. Karma and all of that… and I had my bulbs, my car wash, some window washer stuff and the doggie sign.
My only beef is that the staff are kinda surly and non-​smiling. I like a smile with my service. Kinda makes me think people aren’t happy in their job if I don’t get an acknowledgement that I am human and deserving of a smile, especially when I am nice and smiling at them.
