When my father passed he left me with about 20 cars and my goal was to fix them all. I have all 4 of the major auto parts stores within 2 miles of my house and all want my business. I chose advanced because they offered perks bucks to the do it yourselfer. So for the past year plus i have been going out of my way to buy parts from advanced on miller road. Shelly and Candy always go out of their way to get me the parts i need and are always very welcoming and professional when i visit. Now, apparently because of what the corporate geniuses at advanced have decided, my perks bucks account has been closed, with $60 available to me! As far as Im concerned Advanced has stolen $60 from me and excluded me from a program thats available to everyone else Without even asking me!!!! But, apparently im not the only one. A quick check of Reddit will show you they do it to everyone that actually buys autoparts and uses perk bucks regularly! Very bad business and shady as hell. As soon as Shelly and Candy make their way to a more reputable business, then my money will too. And, its at least $500 a week!!! until then, i am recommending all my friends, family, coworkers, and DIY associates to skip Advanced and go to another brand. You dont need perks bucks! The others will give you 20% off "every purchase" just for being a loyal customer The same way they did for me!!!! And their stocks aren't plummeting!!!! Final thoughts, Advanced corporate screwed over a very, very loyal customer over a $10 reward program!!! i would drive a 100 miles to get a part before i let Advanced have a penny more of my hard earned money. read more
