This location and their crews are AWESOME! We moved here from Florida and started our mobile mechanic business. They go above and beyond! Their sense of great customer and humor are on point!!

In the past, this location has been awesome; however, recently something has changed and there is no customer service here. Two weeks ago, I stopped in because I had a battery that appeared to be starting to fade. The doors were locked, and 5 customers gave up and left the parking lot 15 minutes after the store was supposed to open. I called three times, and no one answered. As I was leaving the parking lot, 20 minutes after the store was supposed to be open, an employee in a uniform was walking toward the door. I came back two hours later, and the door was still locked. After getting this same employee to the door (which was still locked), I was informed that the manager had called in so they wouldnt be able to assist me with a battery. I told the employee that I had been at the store earlier and that they had lost numerous opportunities to sell merchandise because the doors were locked. This employee said, that is the managers fault for calling in sick. The door was locked behind me as I left.Last night, after my battery failed, I returned to the store unable to shut off the engine. The same employee who opened the store a few weeks ago was behind the register and informed me that they would sell me a battery but not install it. Fortunately, I was able to get a local big box store to install a battery and the total cost for their best battery was similar to the cost of the lowest grade here. I will not be back. The only reason I ever shopped at Advance was because they installed nearly everything they sold, and I felt that it was worth paying a little more for wiper blades and batteries when they would walk out and install them from you.

I had a wonderful experience here at this location after having a terrible experience at the opelika location. I had something that was buy 2 for $10 and get a free item. It wasnt ringing up correctly and the guy at the Opelika store was no help. Tray (I believe was his name) took the ad and figured out that I needed to buy 4 items instead of just 2, which was such a simple fix. Tray asked me if I needed help as soon as I walked in. I needed windshield wipers and he found those and even offered to put them on for me. He rang me up and a few customers came in behind and he said can I ring these people up first and then I will install them for you? I said yes, that would be perfectly fine. He installed them quickly and he was just so nice and polite. Even apologized for the bad experience I had in Opelika.I told my husband about him and he remembered Tray from when he had to get a replacement battery. He went above and beyond for my husband to find proof of purchase by calling the Pelham location which is where my husband bought the battery. He too had a great experience here. I wish Tray could be recognized and know that he is appreciated. :)

Bought battery online, went to store for pick up & installation. Nice lady to check me out was by herself. She was unable to pick up battery much less install. Had to return home to install, then return to store so I could get core value for old battery. Never experienced this with Advance Auto Parts before. Very disappointing!!

Workers are friendly. However, Poor Leadership. Manager Unmotivated!He didnt even know where car radios were. Went across street and gave walmart my business. Maybe general manager was having a bad day, but I bet the kinder workers would love the pay raise for his spot! Lead by example sir

Review №19

After several trips and attempts to get a window motor they ordered one in to another store and it was the wrong side.I work for Discount Auto Parts which was bought out by Advance if I stand correct and my manager at the time told me to sell a part that looks like what the customer wants knowing its not correct . This guarantees customer will be back and hopefully correct part will be their when they return . I can only believe this procedure still exists. I will never use Advance again. Never had a run around when I use OReilly Auto Parts.

To say this staff is incredible is an understatement. As a female, I dread taking my car to places Im not familiar with. These guys made certain I got the best deal, and got my car fixed up for me! Advance Auto Parts has done a phenomenal job at employing a great staff.

Appreciate the customer service guys who are extremely busy. He provided excellent service, Jon Z. Replaced 3 customers batteries in less than an hour. Hope the battery works as well as the service.

My minivans battery died so I went there to nut a new one. But one of the associates tested my battery and said that it was all good and would only need to recharge. So I end up buying nothing there. The whole process was quick and free of charge. Very honest and professional people!

I dropped by Advance to get some windshield wipers. Found me a very nice set from their nice selection. However, when i went to checkout the cashier checked out the two people in front of me and then i put my stuff up on the counter. The cashier the proceeded to walk away and help a customer across the store who had just come in the door.... I just wanted some wipers and couldnt even get checked out.

I have always used Advance Auto Parts for my old Ford Ranger if I dont have time to wait on Amazon to ship. They have what I need and they are very friendly and helpful. I think maybe the one on Opelika Rd has a little better service, but Ive never had bad service to date.

Jacob is awesome!! He diagnosed what was wrong, sold me what I needed, and then came in at 0700 on his day off and swapped out the parts in the store parking lot. He went way above and beyond expectations.

Not good. Guy working (possibly manager) walking around store on the phone -on speaker phone- with gf or wife. Just chit chatting. Could not or would not help me with looking for a tire pump. Another person came to help. But stated she had been out sick for awhile and everything in store had been moved. I went to another store across the street.

Review №42

The service was great. I felt like the manager keith was talking down to his employee. He needs to go about training his employees differently and treat them more with respect. Im a former employee for advance and my boss never did that to me. I did not like how he went about trying to teach him how to do online orders.

HORRIBLE. worst auto parts store experience of my life. Was sold the wrong parts in the correct box, then waited what seemed like forever to obtain the actual correct parts while the employees cracked jokes, blatantly used profanity, and talked about smoking weed. DO NOT GO HERE.

I want to thank this store by writing a good review. I have been a customer for this Advance Auto Parts store for about 2 years. This store becomes the only auto parts store for me. 2 years ago, I used to shop auto parts at Walmart without knowing that this store is just cross the street of the walmart. After my first shopping experience at this store, I was convinced that this Advance Auto Parts store is much better than Walmart. I have not shopped in other Auto Parts stores in Auburn. So it is very hard for me to compare this one with another. Overall, their salesmen are very professional and friendly. Most importantly, this store in most cases offer the best price for me! You can order your auto part at their website then apply coupon codes, which are always available. Then, you can pick up your order at the store.
