Bought a new car battery and they replaced it right away when I got there. Saved me a lot of time and frustration when I try to do that myself.

This is not a true Advanced Auto Parts store, they are still a Carquest operating as Advanced Auto Parts. This being said, I tried to return a part at the Verona store and it can’t be done due to the systems being different. I have tried to make a return at the Fitchburg location 3 times now on three separate days all at different times throughout the day. They claim to not have enough money in the registers every time. The part was paid for in cash, but they won’t give cash back. Two out of three times the staff have been terrible. Recommend Orileys vs this store location hands down.

I stopped by to have my car scanned after a warning light came on. For starters the guy who was sent out to scan my car asked me if my car was a Toyota Tacoma. My car is a Chevy Malibu. He asked this while he was literally sitting in the driver seat! I instantly went inside the store and asked the next employee if he could come scan my car. He said he didn’t know how to. The next guy said he could after he finished what he was doing. I told him the first guy didn’t even ask for my keys. And I was told they don’t need my keys! He came out attempted to scan my car, without putting my keys in the ignition and what do you know the scanner kept showing an error code.
They then said the scanner must not be working and sent me up the road to Firestone.Firestone just rolled their eye and said Advance Auto Parts needed to stop sending customers their for scans. I then proceeded to go to the Verona Advanced Auto Parts. Wow, I should’ve started there. Tyler helped me. He recognized that I was driving a car, not a truck, and he knew to ask for my keys. I hate that I need to drive past one location simply to get basic services. Thanks Verona Advance, your location appears to be what an Advance should strive to be.Keep it up! Fitchburg Advance, good luck.

If you are a business, and you need parts quickly, this should be the ABSOLUTE LAST PLACE TO ORDER FROM! I have done business with them for over 6 years, we were also one of there top independent shops. No longer. I will NEVER order from them again! And they couldn't give two sh*ts about it. Obviously no one there works off commission or bonus' due to sales. We are only about 10 minutes away, I know we are not the only shop they have to deliver to, but when the consistently take 1-2 hours and hold up jobs in my shop, I'm losing money. And there response is always the same.."i don't know why", or some other B.S. excuse. Completely and totally unprofessional! Too bad Advance didn't decide to close them down. A new façade does nothing for the internal workings of a place. Absolute garbage!

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.
