Advance Auto Parts

I actually stopped at the one at the Crafton Ingram shopping center but they are all basically the same.
I had been here earlier this year to get replacement wiper blades. The man who helped me not only gave me his recommendation on what would be good for winter driving but also put them on my car.
Today’s visit was to purchase some general car supplies as a holiday gift. They carry basically everything you need for self service. I’m not overly sure on their pricing but since it is convenient for me I visit it.
So far I’ve been pleased with my purchases.

Great people… great service… great products… always busy

I’m not by any means a gear head, I’m lucky I know where to put the gas in my car. I have Triple A in case I get a flat, because I have no idea where my jack is. I took my present car back to the dealership the day after driving it off the lot to have them show me how to turn on my hazard signal, also, to show me how to release the parking brakes, and how to turn on the rear defoggers. Yes, the owners manual was in the glove box, but there was way too much reading involved, and I learn quicker by hands on training.
Advanced Auto is a God send for me, when I needed windshield wipers, the ones on the car sounded like a cow being skinned alive each time I turned them on. So, I didn’t use them often, which isn’t good in a driving rain storm. I walked in and went up to an associate and asked him where the wipers were. Not only did he get me the wipers, he saved me a ton of embarrassment by putting them on for me at no extra charge. I gave him a nice tip which he refused, but I insisted. I also picked up a nice leather steering wheel cover (proud to say I figured out how to put that on without a mechanic!) and a gas additive to clean out my fuel system.
This place has everything, and if you’re not a gear head, they’ll either show you how or do it for you. Great customer service!
