Horrible experience! I brought my car in because I needed a new tire before heading out. They told…read moreme they had the tire I needed and that it would take about 30 minutes since the technician was finishing an oil change. I even asked upfront if it would take long because another shop had the same tire and could do it immediately. They reassured me it wouldn't be a problem. I walked around for 45 minutes, came back, and my car was still sitting in the exact same spot. When I asked about it, the guy went to the back to "check" and came out saying they were working on it. I told him my car was still parked right out front -- then he goes, "Oh, my bad, he's working on another white Honda." Someone then quickly came out, moved my car to the back, probably because I was standing right there watching. I got a text at 2:29 saying I could track the service, and they didn't finish until 4 PM. If they had just told me from the start that it would take 1.5 hours, I wouldn't have complained -- I would've gone to the other shop instead.

if I could give this store zero stars I would. I have been extremely patient trying to get my car…read morein to get inspected over the past THREE months. I have a ridiculously busy schedule and made three separate appointments trying to get my car inspected which is now three months out. First appointment made they called me to tell me no one was working the day I was scheduled. Okay fine. Second time I have a prescheduled appointment they tell me when I get there that they have no mechanic working that day. Third time I take my car in, leave it there for a prescheduled inspection, call three hours later to check on how its going, and they tell me then that they couldnt get to it that day. Insanity. Figure your business out. Do not go here for absolutely anything particularly not an inspection.

The employee at the register asked for my name, email, etc for "warranty" (sounds good cool I get some free coverage). But nope wasted $3 each on windshield wiper insurance, lol. Totally fine they offer it but doing it without asking (and therefore implying it costs money) is not cool.

I went in for a battery replacement this past winter. I paid for the battery and the guy came out…read moreto install it. I waited as he did that and then he said he got the WRONG battery for my car. He went back into the store and got the correct battery and "installed" it. A day later, I was at work and my car died! My radio short circuited, and I was left with no lights, or flashers! I had to call AAA for a tow. They towed it to my very reputable garage and they let me know the BATTERY WAS INSTALLED WRONG! This caused my alternator to blow out! I had to shell out $600 to fix my car! I've gone here for battery replacements before and NEVER had an issue until this happened! It's clear some of the staff need trained!!! I trusted them to do a simple battery replacement and they caused me more problems! As a single woman, I trusted the staff to know how to do their job! NEVER AGAIN! I only went there because in the past I had no issues and my garage couldn't get me in sooner! Do yourself a favor, and take your car to Graham's Exxon instead! They know what they're doing, will take good care of your vehicle, and won't take advantage of you! Highly DO NOT RECOMMEND GOING TO ADVANCED AUTO ON BENNER PIKE!!!

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.

DO NOT GO HERE. The mechanics themselves just want to do their jobs, but the manager dude (I guess…read morehis name is Josh?) is shady asf and talks down to women. Nick had previously resealed the transmission pan on my Subaru (it was leaking before when I had tried to seal it myself with an anaerobic sealant). So he fixed it, but it started leaking again. It's a known flawed design from Subaru (the pan doesn't use a gasket but just mates metal to metal) and so it's a common issue with subarus. Anyway, Josh tried to gaslight me and tell me that the leak was actually coming from the output shaft seal because "the wind was pushing the oil leak down and making it look like the pan was leaking." In reality, he just didn't want to redo the repair because it would cost him time x money on his own dime + expensive CVT fluid. He thought he could just gaslight me about what was happening as a solo female and I'd just pay up. Well, I didn't take his bs bait. This is exactly why I started doing my own repairs on my car because you can't trust these dudes. At the very least, Josh could've tried to work with me instead of starting an argument, like say "I can see why you'd think that and we can repair xyz at discounted rate and if the transmission pan is still leaking then we'll replace that on the house." You're not very good with zero customer service skills.
