I just left Advance Auto Parts located in the Okatie Center SC 29909 on Feb 27, 2026 at 1:25pm. I came in to swap out my battery for a new one. The woman working at the cash register who according to my receipt is named Sharyia G. had a very unpleasant attitude and responded in a rude unprofessional manner throughout the course of our interaction. I finally had to say something, and told her she seemed very unfriendly. Sfhe responded with "my bad that is just how I am". Wrong line of work, if that is just how you are. Customers want friendly positve interations and not attitude. Also maybe ask if the customer has a core exchange instead of just ringing up full price, I had said I was there with my car to get it swapped out, so good thing I knew to say something or I would have been charged full price with no credit from the core turn-in. Keep this employee off the register and away from customers. If I see her next time I come in, I will either ask to be helped by someone else or leave and just go somewhere else. O'reily in Bluffton has friendly employees, probably should have just gone there. I will say the guy that installed the battery was friendly and helpful so shout out to him, wish I knew his name. Hopefully this employee will learn to be friendly and helpful to customers instead of having an unfriendly unprofessional demeanor.

Waited patiently in line, 130 on a Sunday. I asked if I could have my battery checked that’s in my vehicle. She said it’s only her and another woman working and running “commercial”.
Older blonde haired woman, for some reason even with the store completely empty she couldn’t take 4 minutes to help me out, pretty sad.
Maybe I should be going somewhere else like AutoZone.

Overall, It's conveniently located near me and I usually get what I'm looking for, at a good price. Staff is a little lackadaisical. There are two women that work there that are very good. They are knowledgeable and helpful.

How much does a car battery cost?
A traditional lead/acid car battery can range between $60-$120. The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
