My experience here has been nothing short of amazing - amazing in the sense that until now, I had misunderstood the true depths of human stupidity. I brought my vehicle in several weeks ago because the alternator had failed. The person in the store used not a wrench, but vice grips to loosen the bolts on the battery leads. This interesting choice of tools should have been a precursor of what was to follow. The alternator I ended up ordering was supposed to come in the next Tuesday... or the Tuesday after, the assistant at the register wasn't sure. In the end, it didn't matter, because when I came back two weeks later, they couldn't find the alternator and re-ordered it. Imagine my (lack of) surprise when I came in the following week, only to find that the re-ordered alternator had been once again lost somewhere in the store. At this point I asked for a refund, convinced that Advanced Auto Parts would run out of alternators before they would learn basic organization skills. If you're a comedy writer with writer's block, I can't recommend this store enough. If you're looking for auto solutions, I would recommend a more reliable source of parts, such as a junkyard or a Wendy's dumpster. read more
