This Advance Auto is located on South Cobb Drive near the South Cobb/Concord intersection in a small 2 business center between the Popeye's and Monterrey Mexican.
Parking - Can be a little tricky as entering from South Cobb is a one-way and the spots are placed at an angle making for easier parking if you enter to the left of the building. If the spots in front are taken, there is a large lot directly to the right that they share with Monterrey, so there is always ample parking.
Hours - They are strict about their hours, that is for sure...so strict that they actually close the doors a few minutes before actual closing times, as noted in other reviews. So, give yourself time to get their well before closing times!
Products - As you would expect of an auto parts store, they have majority of things that any shade-tree mechanic or average fella such as myself would need for minor repairs or preventative maintenance of your vehicle. It's not the largest of Advance Auto's, but they have a decent selection of items.
Service - The handful of times I have been here have been greeted with lackluster service. They aren't dismissive, but they definitely give the minimum effort required of a customer interaction here. My last visit I was in search of a tire pressure gauge and asked the gentleman where they were located when I walked in. He simply pointed and walked off. There was no other person in the store. I went to the shelf, grabbed one and then had to wait on him to come back up to ring me up. For an interaction so simple, it seemed to take a lot out of the guy.
I try to give everyone and place the benefit of the doubt with maybe just a bad day, but I have been here 3 times in the past year and each visit is less than favorable, especially when it comes to service. There is another brand of auto parts store not too far that always seems jam packed, and honestly two of my trips here have been because the wait at the other spot is too much...but after my experiences, I can see why the other spot stays busy and this location is not.
Overall, while this location is more convenient for me, I would rather drive a little out of my way for better service and business practices. read more
