From the owner: Carquest is a locally owned and operated auto parts store that has been serving our hometown for…read moreyears. We stack decades of hands-on experience like playing cards to get our customers the right answer, the right part, right now because in our business real answers from real people are crucial. Carquest customers always get a quality, local parts experience while also being backed by Advance Auto Parts and the largest parts distribution network in the industry. But we're not accountable to a corporate spreadsheet like our big-box competitors. We answer to the legacy of family businesses and to the towns and neighborhoods we grew up in. From the repair shop to the Little League field, we're here, and we're committed to you.

Whole place reeks of marijuana every time I've been in there. I needed an alternator tested that I…read morebrought in with me. After waiting for 10 minutes for the sole employee to become available, he tells me that he "doesn't know how" to use the in-store tester. What kind of store offers a service, but doesn't even train their employees on how to use it? I'll drive 30 minutes extra to avoid this pathetic place.

Asked at this location to try a reset with OBD scanner, they told me it couldn't be done that way. They told me to go to dealer. I went to O'Reilly's instead, and they said let's give it a try.

I went to Advance Auto Parts in Lightfoot to get battery checked on 18 Jan as my battery wasn't…read moreholding a charge. A short baldish 30 something year old put the tester on the battery and said my alternator was bad (car only has 53000 miles). Since car wouldn't start I asked for a jump as I had my own jumper cables. He said no "sorry your day isn't going well." Got a friend to bring their car there and quickly jumped started. Took car to local dealer who tested the battery and it wasn't holding a charge ( only 80) and the alternator was fine pushing 13.7 volts. Had the dealer replace the battery. This Advance Auto Part employee had no idea what he was doing and the other two there didn't care. He also said clicking sound when turning the ignition was because of the alternator which is complete BS As that sound is the starter. I will never use this place again and will tell everyone I know about this shoddy business.

I have a 2010 Subaru Outback in excellent shape. Maybe if I drove a Ford F150 I'd be in luck. No luck with a Specialty Coolant (although their website stated it was in stock), no wiper refills, no cabin filter (although their website stated it was in stock), etc. So I drive a few extra miles now to an auto parts store that has what I look for and they don't consider my Outback "one of those goldern ferrin vehickles."
