    If this doesn't tell you everything you need to know I don't know what could....I went in to borrow their OBD scanner to check my mom's car bc I had forgotten to put it back in my mustang the last time I used it on my husband's mustang & they hinest to God said "OH we're so sorry but its not working right now but Auto Zone right up the street has a great one & they're still open for another hour". You could've knocked me over with a 🪶 when I heard that! It's almost unheard of for a direct competitor to actually recommend the other one. I will always remember this & if the need arises to choose between them again I'll choose Advance Auto a million times over. Very impressive.

    They left me on the line for over 15 minutes and then hung up on me. They should fire the workers who do this. 09/05/2025 4:40pm to 4:58pm. I ended up buying at Autozone.

    Not very helpful today, the staff wanted me to go under my vehicle hood and tell them what type of filter I needed
