Check Advance Auto Parts hours on their website or by phone

The fastest way to know if your local Advance Auto Parts is open today is to visit advanceautoparts.com, enter your zip code or city, and look at the store listing. The hours appear directly on that page, along with the address and phone number. You can also call the store directly — most locations answer during business hours and can tell you when ready if they are open.

If you are looking at the website and the store shows as closed, that usually means it is outside their posted hours. Most Advance Auto Parts locations are open seven days a week, but hours vary by location. Some stores open at 7 or 8 a.m. and close at 9 or 10 p.m., while others have shorter hours. Holiday schedules also change — many locations close on Christmas and may have reduced hours on Thanksgiving or New Year's Day.

Google Maps is another reliable source. Search "Advance Auto Parts near me," and the map result shows hours, whether the store is currently open or closed, and customer reviews. The "Open" or "Closed" label updates in real time based on the store's posted schedule.

Key Takeaways

  • The Advance Auto Parts website shows store hours when you search by location, and you can call the store directly to confirm.
  • Most locations are open seven days a week, but hours vary widely — some open at 7 a.m. and others at 9 a.m., and closing times range from 9 to 10 p.m.
  • Google Maps displays whether a store is currently open or closed and updates based on posted hours.
  • Holiday schedules differ by location, so check the website or call ahead if you are shopping on a holiday.

Why store hours vary by location

Advance Auto Parts does not set the same hours for every store. Each location is independently operated or franchised, which means the owner or manager decides when to open and close. A store in a busy urban area might stay open until 10 p.m. on weekdays, while a location in a smaller town might close at 8 p.m. Some stores are open 24 hours, though this is rare and becoming less common.

Staffing and foot traffic also shape hours. Stores in areas with heavy evening traffic stay open later. Locations that see most customers during lunch or early afternoon may close earlier. If you regularly visit the same store, you will notice the pattern, but the safest approach is always to check before you go.

What to do if the store is closed

If your nearest Advance Auto Parts is closed, you have several options. The website lets you search for other locations nearby and see their hours. Many stores are within a few miles of each other in populated areas, so you may find one that is still open.

You can also order online for in-store pickup at a location that is open, or have items shipped to your home. Advance Auto Parts offers next-day delivery in many areas. If you need a part urgently and cannot wait, calling ahead to confirm stock and hours at a nearby location takes five minutes and saves a wasted trip.

Checking hours before holidays

Holiday hours are the most common reason a store is closed when you expect it to be open. Advance Auto Parts typically closes on Christmas Day and sometimes on Thanksgiving, but not all locations follow the same schedule. Some stores in areas with heavy holiday shopping stay open on Thanksgiving or have modified hours.

The website usually updates holiday hours two to three weeks in advance. If you are planning to shop around a major holiday, check the store page directly rather than assuming standard hours. Calling the store is the most reliable way to confirm, especially for smaller holidays like Presidents' Day or Memorial Day, when some locations may have different hours.

Using the Advance Auto Parts app

The Advance Auto Parts mobile app shows store hours, lets you check local inventory, and allows you to order for pickup or delivery. If you have the app installed, you can see hours without opening a web browser. The app also sends notifications about sales and promotions at your preferred store.

The app requires you to create an account, but you do not need to buy anything to view store information. If you shop at Advance Auto Parts regularly, the app is faster than the website for checking hours and stock on the go.

What happens if hours on different sources don't match

Sometimes Google Maps, the Advance Auto Parts website, and the store's social media show different hours. This usually happens because one source has not been updated after a recent change. The official source is always the Advance Auto Parts website, since the store owner or manager controls that listing directly.

If you see conflicting information, call the store. A staff member can tell you the current hours when ready and clarify any confusion. It takes one minute and prevents a wasted trip.
