Shopped there for years. There are cheaper options out there, but it was a convenient place near my…read morehouse. I probably spent thousands or dollars there. Last night I bought a starter relay because my daughters car wouldn't start. The box they sold it to me in was kinda krinkled up (which I thought was odd), but the part was new and looked good. So I bought it. My daughter ended up being able to start her car a few minutes later (probably a loose wire or something). So I didn't need the relay. Didn't install it. Didn't do anything. It was still brand new in box. Tried to return it to the store (this was 20 MINUTES after buying it), and the guy said that it had been installed or looked used. So he would not take it back. Again, this was 20 MINUTES after I bought it. No oil, no grime, no scrapes, no dents, not even a scratch on it...because it didn't leave the box that I bought it in. I felt insulted and felt like I was being called a liar...as if I were trying to con them or something. Felt humiliated. All this over an overpriced $30 relay that I could find from any online vendor for $10-15. They destroyed our relationship and my confidence in ever buying from them again. After all these years and all the purchases that I made, I never want to go back. I will drive the extra five miles to Oreilly or just buy online at Rockauto or something. So just beware if you buy anything that you might even remotely ever need to return to the store. Don't expect them to kindly give your money back. They pulled this on me 20 MINUTES after purchase with a NEW IN BOX part and a VALID RECEIPT in hand. I would go so far as to say that you better triple-check the part before you even leave the store and make darn sure that it is the right part and that you will never need to return it, because they might pull this on you.

I was literally waiting in line with the fluid in hand to pay and he was just next to me giving me my own personal countdown. And a few times I have asked to either borrow or have someone help me with the scan tool and again he's been a dick about it. One time he wouldn't even let his employee help me because they had been been there the night before to have my car scanned. And most of the people working there also treat you like your radioactive. They get annoyed if you ask for help finding parts, they are constantly on their phones or they just plain don't know anything about cars. To me that's an indication of bad management. It starts from te top up, managers set the tone for their staff and stores. If I could give less than a 1 star rating I would.

I was told the cost of the part a local shop paid from them was over $600. I also had purchased brakes through the third party and learned they were inflated as well. Full me once shame on you. Full me twice shame on me. What did I do to qualify this? So I called Mazda with a range of $171 to $205. If I purchased the part from Autozone it would have been $90. So be careful if you need parts. It may pay to get a second or third quote. I knew there was a problem with price gouging but had no clue it was this bad. Buyer beware at this location. People are friendly there but beware of the price. There is a reason wiper blades are more than $20 each and less than $10 at the other stores.

And even though I'm standing at the actual store and buying the battery from them it then somehow defaults to Eau Claire Wisconsin. I wasn't gonna pay 25% more for the battery simply because they couldn't figure out how to get it switched to the location I'm at. I finally just left. When I go to purchase stuff online I find the actual store first and then go to that and then order it that way I can make sure and see what's in stock. It's not that hard to do it correctly. I have no idea how you can take such an easy process and make it so hard and time-consuming. I guess this is why it's easier to just order it on Amazon. I've never been in a parts store before, had the part at the counter to purchase and just walked out. This is a first.

I had just come from the hardware store, where they explained what I needed to get my snowblower working, but I hadn't written it down. I explained to Rick what I was trying to accomplish, and he knew exactly what I needed--it was the same product the hardware store had recommended. He asked if I had mixed oil and a few other questions before I made my purchase for $9.49 (a much better option than a $300 tune-up!). He also advised me to use high-octane gas for the snowblower, so once I got it running, I headed over to the gas station. Great service and helpful advice--thank you, Advance Auto Parts!

I rarely use AP Euro outside of my tea times with the Queen of England.

So what I do is order the parts I need, and they fix it! This is where CarQuest comes in. I wasn't exactly sure what parts I needed, but I had an idea... something about an idler tension pulley on the a/c belt. Or something like that. Over the phone, Roderick was extremely friendly and helpful. He answered all my questions, ordered a part just in case I decided I needed it, and got me all taken care of by the time I arrived at the store. When I got there he knew exactly what I needed, knew all about my particular vehicle, and gave me suggestions. I bought a belt, tensioner pulley, idler pulley, and oil filter, all for about $70. Whichever parts I didn't wind up needing I returned, no problem. For friendliness and convenience, CarQuest was awesome and I will absolutely use them again. :)
