I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the most knowledgeable when it comes to cars, but I never feel stupid when I go to Auto Value. I'm always extremely confident that when I go this store I'm getting exactly what I need and nothing more. I don't feel like I'm getting ripped off with a bunch of things I don't need, but instead am getting exactly what I came for.
The staff at Auto Value are so nice and well-informed it's almost unbelievable. I went in recently to purchase new spark plugs and hoses, and they weren't shy about telling me all the different quality and price ranges they offered. They didn't even look at me funny when I didn't purchase the most expensive after-market pieces. I think they understood that I don't have an unlimited amount of money to spend on my car, so am satisfied getting the middle price and quality.
The only thing I don't like about this Auto Value, and I would almost go as far as to say hate, is the parking outside. It's all angled, but the spots are tiny and people are always well over the lines. I know this is a silly thing to talk about, but it's true. There also seems to be an abundance of cars they are in the process of working on taking up the spaces in the lot surrounding Auto Value.
Still, parking aside, I actually enjoy going to Auto Value because, if anything, I'm actually leaving a little more car-smart than when I went in! read more
