Came in to buy oil and a K&N filter acouple weekends back for my civic Si and the salesman Steve was very helpful but pulled the typical salesman routine on me and recommended buying the (fram) oil filter so me trusting his word I bought one and the seals must of been shot because I had oil all over the ground because of it so I wanted a refund on the filter and the 5 quarts of oil I wasted because of that filter and Steve said I would of had to contact the manager in order to get a refund on the oil saying even though he recommended the filter it wasn’t his fault I still went and bought it (unprofessional) so I contacted the east glenville advanced and they gave me a full refund on the oil and the fram filter no questions asked I don’t know why this location gave me a problem

I came into the shop looking for a new screw for my key fob. The original one had become quite weathered and was stuck in the fob, yet failing to keep the back attached so I was constantly risking that falling off and losing the battery as well. Steve was immediately the biggest help I could’ve asked for! I had already been to 3 other shops looking for help with this, but Steve actually took the time to come up with a solution for me. Thanks to him my key is in much better shape, I simply couldn’t have asked for better and more caring help! Very quick minded and intelligent, I appreciate it deeply :)

This place seems to have no inventory and the staff seems to be spread too thin and overworked. The last two times I’ve ordered, I’ve been notified that the order is ready for pickup only to go there and find part or all of my order was cancelled.

I want to thank Frederick and the team at this Advance Auto Parts location for their friendliness, knowledge and good customer service last week! I visited them after a horrible experience trying to get my car inspected at a nearby car dealership, and they were helpful in helping me get what I needed done promptly and affordably. I will be back!

Mark was a tremendous help in the process of finding the car part that I needed. I received the parts I ordered online in less than 2 days, whereas other stores I called said they would have my part in about 1-2 weeks. Very fast service, excellent employees who go above and beyond; especially Mark. He explained everything he was doing and did so politely and enthusiastically. He is a great asset and I will definitely be purchasing from Advance Auto again in the near future.

I called this place and it says that this is UPS location store. I asked the employee to confirm if this is advanced auto parts. He hanged up on me . I called again to confirm. He hanged up again. What kind of employees do you even Have they can't simply answer? Yes. This is Advanced auto parts but they show their arrogance. They are so disrespectful shame on this place will never shop in my life again

The store manager never enters speed perks number when making a purchase - strange. He also denies you your warranty for the part that failed citing every excuse. The only logic coming from this behavior is that he warrantees parts out with his circle of scammers and partners in crime trying to avoid corporate red flags. He denies decades long customers something they were reliant on - honesty and good will customer service.

I stopped in to buy some Motorcraft transmission fluid I found listed online by Advanced Auto $9.99/qt. Grabbed what I needed off the shelf, brought it to the counter and it rang up $1 more per quart than advertised. I asked the cashier if they price matched themselves lol he replied our website price? nah. I said good you can keep it and walked out. Made my purchase directly across the street at Autozone as their $9.99/qt website price matched the in store price. If it didnt match Im sure they would have been happy to price match. What a clown show at Advance Auto.

Had a great time talking with Aaron talking about some tricks fixing a code Ive been fighting in my car for months P0420. He sold me a few metal pieces and a 02 sensor. IT WORKED! He saved me over a 1000 bucks. Gained a customer for life. You want knowledge and insight? Talk to AARON. He was super busy (apparently does commercial parts) and had time return a core I had sitting around forever and to walk me through the repairs I needed. Thank you so much see you soon!
