Advance Auto Parts

"Best staff in an auto parts store I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. Big Dave is amazing. Eric is always so helpful. I miss Kerri, she was great too! Only place I buy my auto parts from and I drive down from Kirkwood just to use them!!! Still a great place!!!"

"Daylight. -5 degrees today. Of course weak batteries die. Spouse is running errands and car begins loosing power. Told her to pull into the store and get a battery. (Foot note) Been going to this same store routinely for over twenty years. On the phone with spouse when she enters and she asks for a battery. The associate quickly states because of the extreme weather he cannot replace the battery on her small compact, not let me check to see. That reaction from him to her shocked me. States the boss told him not to go outside. Like I said I used this store often for over twenty years and without a doubt this place has done a complete 180 since the former manager Mike left. The long faces in this place when you walk in sometimes are very telling of this job is not fun nor satisfying. Can’t just be me, Tip for the boss who was not there. Instead of telling your employees from the comfort of your home today not to change wipers or batteries because of the temp, let them decide if it can be done or not. Let them take the trash out or maybe you forgot to mention not to do that or take a smoke break. I guess boss, you did them a huge favor and they are thankful that you care for them so much. Hope you don’t believe that. Maybe Sonic and other retailers who have a mission of going to the parking lots for 10-15 minutes at a time infrequently should shut down today because today is a little more challenging. However we bought the over priced battery for 200.00 plus dollars. I installed it and didn’t die. I will never trade again with this store under this management team. Two of your competitors are with 1 mile of this place. I will call this exceptionally long review as “ The Straw That Broke The Camels Back” Alan Tolliver Arnold MO"

"Richard was super helpful and fast! Would come back again, thank you so much!"

"Sales Associate very helpful. Thought we needed a trunk spring, turns out the associate was able to hook it up correctly. Problem solved!"

"Needed a part to fix my 2009 Cobalt. Bought it here cuz nobody else had one like the one I needed. Had to redesign the positive battery cable mount because Chevy discontinued the OEM and I had little hope of finding one in a salvage yard. They're usually cut off when the yard removes the battery.( What a waste of resources)."
