First, let me say I'd only shop at two of the three chain auto parts stores in the area as AutoZone lost my business YEARS ago via their blatantly disrespectful treatment of an elderly WWII Veteran.
That being out of the way, the Advance Auto Parts location here is by far the best in Hampton Roads! Selection is on par with other stores but the staff - THAT's this place's highlight!
Everyone here is jovial and friendly from the moment you walk in the door and it's the same on the phone. Two in particular: David and Cody are especially helpful as they're not only helpful with parts selection but also in troubleshooting and problem diagnosis. They both not only care that you get the right part you're looking but that it'll fix your issue the FIRST time!
Bonus Note: The in-store SpeedPerks program is great too and was recommended by another team member but was never shoved down my throat. He sold it as what it is; a way to save money while you're spending money. Love it!
Overall, these guys solidly have my business now and will continue to get it. Keep up the fine work Advance Auto - keep putting AutoZone to shame! read more
