Advance Auto Parts

This review is actually for the rt 22 Plainfield NJ location (618 Route 22
Plainfield, NJ) which is not currently listed on Unilocal.
Recently needed to replace a car battery. I brought the old one into the store and they tested the CCA free of charge. I had also ordered a new battery online which turned out to be the wrong type. In the store the staff were very helpful in finding the correct battery for my car and allowing me to change my online order.
I would recommend taking advantage of the online ordering service which allows you to save money through the discount codes listed on their homepage. I have used it multiple times and enjoy being able to walk into the store with my order already pulled together and paid for — simply pick up and go.

This was one of the smaller locations that opened up in my residential area. As such, there’s no auto body shop attached to this location. Also, not every accessory is available at this location. If you’re looking for something in general, then they may have it. If anything more specific, then they probably won’t have it.
Once in a while, we do come here for certain accessories, particularly vehicle brushes and battery cells for today’s electronic car keys. Recently, we came here for some winter accessories. Just like the other items, they had them in stock. We got some since we thought that the price was reasonable.
Speaking of prices, they are hit-​or-​miss in regards to competitiveness. Some items are priced reasonably here (like those winter accessories), and others could be bought elsewhere at a lower price. But when they have a sale on some of their accessories, then it’s a good deal. But then there are accessories that you simply must have, without regards to the price, since it would be a necessity for a normal vehicular operation, like batteries for your car keys and brake lights for your vehicle.
Customer service was nice. They were always patient when we needed help looking for the accessories that we needed. They didn’t try to up sell us anything that was completely unnecessary. Overall, it’s a very good store for general automotive accessories. This is as long as this review is going to go for a small place like this!
