  ⭐ 1-Star Review for Advance Auto Parts I visited Advance Auto Parts today to buy new windshield wiper blades because my current ones (Rain-X brand) are loud and skip even in heavy rain. As soon as I mentioned that I didn’t want Rain-X wipers, the store manager, Patrick, became noticeably rude and dismissive. Instead of helping me find an alternative, his tone and attitude made it clear he was irritated from that point on. He told me I’d “be paying a lot more” for a different brand, which I said was fine. I asked about my options, and he showed me a few choices in the $25–$38 range. I also asked for a rear wiper blade around $14.99, and I agreed to that price as well. When I was ready to pay, I took out a $100 bill (without handing it to him yet) so I’d be prepared once he gave me the total. Before even telling me the final amount, he became more irritated and said he probably didn’t have enough change for it—repeating it several times. I stayed polite and waited, but he never checked or completed the sale. At that point, I simply thanked him and said I’d go to O’Reilly Auto Parts across the street instead. He then got even more upset, sarcastically told me to “have a good night,” and when I replied, “I hope you have a better night too,” he shouted that he was going to have the best night—better than mine! I left, went to O’Reilly’s, bought the same non–Rain-X blades with zero issues, paid in cash, and got $26 in change. I later called Advance to confirm the manager’s name, and Patrick was just as rude on the phone. Long story short: the store manager, Patrick, was unprofessional, rude, and made what should’ve been a simple purchase unnecessarily unpleasant. I won’t be returning to this location and will be giving my business to O’Reilly’s from now on. Honestly, if Patrick loves Rain-X that much, he and those wipers can ride off into the storm together. And heaven forbid you pay in cash!

  Well it's a auto parts store so, no comments on that, a couple of employees have the personality of a wet mop and can be a little on the rude side.

  The only reason I gave them 2 stars is because they were open for business, I walked in and could clearly see three people there , 2 behind the counter and 1 stocking shelves, after waiting at the counter a bit I walked around to try to find what I needed and back to the counter, not 1 employee asked If I needed help or even acknowledged I was there so I left and went next door to O'Reilly auto parts and was greeted immediately with " what can I help you with today " , I am 100% done with advance auto parts

  Visiting the area for some hiking and found myself with a dead battery at Jomeokee campground. The owner of the campground helped me get my car started back up and recommended this Advanced for a new battery (it was needed) and although I didn’t get their names, the staff was so kind and got me going in a matter of minutes. Thank you, for being so kind and so quick.
