Pretty easy in and out experience. I stopped by to get one product, asked the guys at the counter…read morewhere I could find the product, and they pointed me in the direction of the product. The best part of this experience: no one tried to upsell me on unnecessary products that I "needed". Also, it was pretty cool that the store provides free battery testing and charging. Although I did not take advantage of the battery charging (because it would take 3-8 hours), it is good to know that this option exists. Since I don't know much about automotive parts, I cannot speak too much about the prices. However, the price of the product that I purchased was more or less the same in store, compared to online vendors. Since my battery probably is on its last leg, I'll probably will be back to purchase a new one in the near future.

I came here to get an engine (OBD-II) code scanning after my engine light came on. I actually had…read morevisited the Wheaton location first, but they sent me to this location after they said their scanners weren't working. I came after work and the area is quite congested. This Advance Auto Parts entrance is located right near the main Bel Pre Road, so it gets blocked by a lot of cars waiting on the traffic light to exit the plaza. There was steady business when I rolled in around 7pm. Only one guy was manning the register - they seemed understaffed. When I requested the OBD-II scanning, they advised they would be with me in a moment - they had to assist the other customers in line first. Eventually, another staff member came to assist. He brought the scanner out and gave simple directions of what to do with the car. He told me the diagnosis and showed me the first page of the screen. I do wish he was more thorough... there were seven pages of information to read on the scanner, but he brushed off the other six and chocked it up to a spark plug issue. I do appreciate the free services that Advance Auto Parts offer, and I'll credit this location for actually having working scanners. Service from all staff members was friendly, and the technician who did my reading did check to see if he could help me with anything else. My objective was just to get a quick reading, but it might've been a little "too quick" for my liking.

I knew what I wanted on this visit and the employee asked if I needed assistance (I did). I was…read morethere to get a pair of wiper blades and had remembered (some time ago) getting wipers from the same location - of course prices have increased over the years. I decided to stick with the same brand I had gotten before, as it lasted for a while. It was just a matter of selecting the right one. There were 3 types to select from so I asked the differences between them. With the helpful information I received, I was able to make a final decision on which one to get. I also got a cover for my steering wheel. I felt it needed to be replaced. I asked for assistance in putting on the blades, even though I could have probably figured it out on my own, but the service is there, and I got it. Thanks to Berki for assisting me. He was very helpful. Service was quick.

Luckily it happened to be near the Advanced Auto Parts store. We asked about batteries and yes, they had a supply. Perfect, but even more perfect they would install it for us and it would only take about 10 minutes. So in the bitter cold they came out and got us all set with a brand new battery. Obviously we think the employees are wonderful and helpful. The only negative is the parking lot is always busy and a bit of a mad house.

Beth & Adriel were great at checking things under the hood for me. Adriel was training Beth on how to work the testing system. They tested my battery, starter & alternator. Both very friendly and helpful. They had to run the test a second time since it wasn't picking up certain tests being done. My battery was good (since it was replaced in Jan 2018), but my alternator voltage was low. So I bought my alternator from them. Once I bring back the old alternator I'll get my core return of $50 back. $238 for an alternator and taking to Pep Boys to have it installed. Great staff and clean shop here. I'd definitely come back because of the friendly environment and great items in store.

These guys were very knowledgeable about their products. They asked the right questions and when I was confused about the differences between two products that I thought were equally adequate for my vehicle, Melvin stepped in and explained the important differences in more detail. He recommended the right product to me. The manager also intervened when I was making the purchase, because there was also some confusion regarding the discount that I was counting on. The confusion was my mistake for not having noticed that the discount was for online purchases only, but the staff was very courteous and understanding of my expectations. What a pleasant visit this ended up being. I recommend this shop for anyone in need of automotive parts and supplies. I will certainly return.

In the early 2000s, my 1998 TJ (RIP) was "tricked" up by the best when they were at another location. So, when I relocated back to the DMV, I naturally took my 2009 JK (lovingly known as the "Dreamcatcher"), to my closest Trick Tricks. However, I performed my own due diligence to see how their customers rated them before calling. Yes, I'm that customer who needs to 1) due her own diligence even after doing business with you in the past, 2) look a person in their eyes, and 3) "feel" your vibes before doing business with you (especially my hard earned money is involved). Next, I visited Johnny at the Kensington, MD location after speaking with him telephonically. Johnny was easy going, knowledgeable guy and has great customer service skills (on the phone and in-person). Johnny listened to my wishes, answered my questions and educated me on things that I researched on the Net. I felt comfortable again making my appointment and making a deposit. *** Upgrade Time *** Like Christmas morning, I watched the clock until Trick Trucks opened. Then 'work 'happened and I got sidetracked, Johnny called and said... Ms. Bonita today is the day, are you coming? Like a race horse out the gates, I flew down multiple flights of stairs and leaped into the Dreamcatcher to drive it to Johnny. Like anything of importance, you don't leave your "baby" just with anyone. So, I happily left my baby (Dreamcatcher aka '09 JK) for a few nights stay with the Trick Trucks team for her upgrades and enhancements. She now flaunts her new high heeled (3" lift) shoes (35" tires), rims (I learned they are also called "wheels"), eyes (headlights) attention getters (taillights), upgraded tire carrier, fix a known-inherited light issue, tinted windows, and coordinated an unexpected mechanical issues repair for our safety (ie another inherited issue). *** Post Upgrades *** Johnny and Larry are awesome especially with entertaining my questions and concerns about the new driving experience with the new upgrades. The way I described it was non-technical and a little animated. Note , this was a perfect 50+ miles of driving check-in point after the upgrades (as suggested); for the record, it was NOT a quality of service issue). Johnny summarized the issue to the tech team and they allowed me to squeeze into their schedule. Upon arrival, Larry took the Dreamcatcher out to see if he can experience what I described about the new driving experience. Minutes later, Larry came back raving about the drive (smooth drive even on the local streets). I gleamed and concurred. Next, he blunted out "I forgot to ask at what speed?" I provided the key information, and Larry took the Dreamcatcher back out and onto the freeway to understand my reported driving experience. Under an hour, Larry relayed that the team made a couple tweaks (50+ miles check in as suggested on the receipt). I called in to give positive feedback to Larry on their tweaks the driving experience I described. The Dreamcatcher will be back for her 500-mile mark as suggested by the Trick Truck (and Jeep) gurus. Should you choose Trick Truck for your vehicle's upgrade needs, I hope you'll a positive experience at the Kensington location. I found the team really helpful, knowledgeable and have customer service woven into their fibers. One thing I appreciated was Johnny following up with me personally (even though I spoke to Larry). He ended the call with a friendly reminder to come back at my 500-mile check in. This end-to-end experience was worthy of this 5-star rating with a long write-up. My apologies for any typos and grammatical flaws; I hope you understand my write up. I'll post a before and after picture soon.
