I went there with a few issues and the guy was very helpful in identifying them precisely so I could get them repaired and resolved. I’ve been using Advanced since forever and highly recommend them!

I have no complaints about Advanced Auto Parts and do enjoy getting a few things from there but you can honestly find a lot of these parts a bit cheaper thru other merchants or online sites. There is definitely a few things that is worth going there for though.

The service here is ok. The thing they need to workon is being a lil more personable when you checkout. Some of the employees are very ruff around the edges.
