    I've been in a lot of auto parts stores over the years (Advance, AutoZone, NAPA, O'Reilly) and the…read morenicest, friendliest, and most helpful employee I've come across is Joshua at this Advance Auto Parts in downtown Carrboro. We're relatively new in the area and Josh welcomed us and made us feel right at home. It was our first time in Carrboro and we'd just eaten next door at Luna Rotisserie and Taproom: https://www.yelp.com/biz/luna-rotisserie-and-tap-room-carrboro-2. On our way back to the car, my wife pointed out that we were walking right past this Advance Auto Parts. Knowing me, I often need to buy something for my 20-year-old car, whether it be oil, a bulb, or windshield washer fluid. On this particular visit, I needed some of the latter. As soon as we entered the store, Josh asked us what we were looking for. I told him, he pointed us in the right direction, and then he told us a lot about the windshield washer fluids they had in stock and gave us honest advice. They carried a few different types of Rain-X plus a cheaper brand. Josh said most customers go with the cheap stuff, that all the brands/types of washer fluid were essentially the same, and to pick our favorite color. There was blue, green, orange, and purple. I've been purchasing Rain-X brand products for the last two decades so I went with the more expensive orange Rain-X 2-in-1 (de-icer and bug remover) which I've used before. One gallon cost $5.90 after tax. The store was set up to follow COVID-19 safety protocols. The counters were roped off to promote separation between employees and customers. The counters also had plexiglass barriers installed. Josh wore a mask when interacting with us. After checking out, Josh noticed my wife carrying two boxes of leftovers from our meal at Luna. He offered her a bag. That was nice of him. The bags were Carquest bags (Advance Auto Parts owns Carquest). Knowing we were new to the area, Josh offered up advice/recommendations for the area if we wanted. Also nice of him. I noticed this Advance Auto Parts store is smaller than other Advance Auto Parts stores I've been in. The store number is 1054. Parking can be hard to come by in this part of town. However, this store has its own free, dedicated spots located conveniently right next to the building. Thank you, Josh!

    Today I needed to replace the battery in my Subaru Outback. I had purchased the battery from the…read moreAdvance store in Carrboro, so I returned there to confirm that it was still under warranty. Indeed, it was under warranty so the staff began the process of replacing it. Joshua is the employee who helped me. He didn't know what he was getting into. :-) He tested the old battery, confirming that it needed replacing. He took out the old battery and put in a replacement. He then went through the process of testing the starter, alternator and new battery ... and determined that the NEW battery was defective. (He said that in his 14 years that had happened only one other time.) Joshua then got another battery, put it in and ran the tests again to determine that all was good. But he noted that the cable terminal attaching to the battery's positive anode couldn't be fully tightened, setting off a good 40 minutes of work to replace the cable terminal. I could not have been more satisfied with the service Joshua gave me. He told me he has worked at Advance for 14 years. I see other comments here that attest to the friendly, expert help the staff at Advance in Carrboro regularly provide. I can confirm it is true!

    I am from a very rural town in North Central Florida...the kind of place where everybody knows…read moreeverybody and when it comes to cars you do it yourself or get a buddy with a local shop to help you out. Thus when I moved away, I had a bit of a struggle when it came to a good garage...I was looking for that small town feel where no one would try to sell me something I didn't need, take advantage of me, overcharge, or be rude. I found that place in Al's Garage. Fast, friendly, and never trying to pull a fast one on me. Though generally pretty car-ignorant, I DO try to educate myself on what is wrong with my car or attempt to fix it myself where possible/when safe and feasible (a remnant of my country girl upbringing). I have had moderate success in that department, but the times I've failed or thrown in the towel and brought it in to them (once with an inner door panel half removed after I gave up on some task or another), they have always treated me with respect and if they chuckled at my failure as a mechanic, they at least did me the service of doing so in private haha. Most importantly, I appreciate that they don't talk down to me, something that often happens to me when I have gone to other repair shops (likely a symptom of being a young woman who is, as I said, self-admittedly car-ignorant) and their willingness to explain and answer my questions no matter how tedious. I'm going to be relocating again soon and I will be sad to have to find yet another excellent garage.

    Did me a solid just moments after smashing my front fender into a Carrboro loading dock. Rolled in…read morethere, fixed in 90 min, $200 worth every penny.
