History
Hi I’m writing to anybody who cares I went to your store in Shenandoah, Pa. 17976 and tried to order a simple tail pipe for my truck which you guys do not stock ,,,, Well gave you guys a chance to look for one for me and that was a hassle I was sent to your Shamokin store well that man was nice but he did not have the tail pipe either I drove 25 miles … Was told Pottsville store has this pipe was told we will have it for you at the pottsville store,,,, Well went back to your store in Shenandoah they call Pottsville Monday told me come in to the store we will have it Tuesday , Well I drove there again the manager told me a story about some guy quit and never showed up with the tail pipe . So then he told me I differently have it for you Wednesday which is the 4th guess what no pipe I got a story today that your warehouse is on strike so I left pissed and I buy a lot from that store I will travel 30 miles or more and will not go back to your store anymore done … I live 3 miles from your store but when I got home I ordered it from A5A auto which is 20 miles from here but they promised they will have it tomorrow for sure…..Carquest had in stock but I wasted time with the bullshit at your store and now the man that owns the truck is mad which I don;t blame him …. You guys are going to lose a lot of business if you don’t get better counter people /////// Joe
I’am a property owner of your store in Arlington, Texas and I’am having a issue with your people NOT returning our phone calls and e-mails. I’am trying to refinance the property and I’am being held up by your people. PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP 702-858-XXXX
I live in Milton, VT and shop frequently at your store. I have for sometime been aware for some time that an employee of the store parks in the Veterans parking spot. I have been informed by store employees that he is indeed a veteran, and I know that the state issues the vets plate based on the vets DD-214. All well and good, as I am a Vietnam War combat veteran. I am also a member of the CVMA, a nationwide motorcycle association of combat vets. That said, vets parking places are set up for customers, the same as any other dedicated parking spaces. An employee taking up a dedicated vets parking space is not appropriate. While the staff is quite competent and helpful, I will take my business elsewhere. I have also posted this on various veterans websites, along with the photographic evidence. I applaud the vets service, and wish he well, but when working he should park elsewhere.
i was in advance auto store in marion sc and holly s*** i was not aware the you guys have now started to let a bunch of punks hang out in your stores just sitting around on the cases of oil in the store and hanging out side this is a very dangerous thing to alow to go on. i for one will not be going there any more this is setting up your custermers to get robed
Advanced auto in Bellaire Ohio, in MY opinion are a bunch of shysters, and liars, and i feel that they are scamming people by making them believe that they have LIFETIME warranty on just about everything that you buy, just to get the sale,, BUT if you take that item back, they say,, OH” ITS A LIFERTIME WARRANTY ON MANUFACTURE DEFECTS ONLY.. They dont tell you that when you buy that item at time of sale. I had to buy the same thing more than once because it DIDNT have a lifetime warranty as promised.. KEEP AWAY UNLESS you can tape your conversation if that item does NOT have a lifetime warranty. Am filling out paper this afternoon for the BBB.. SCREW ADVANCED AUTO.
