Finding an Advance Auto Parts location near you

Advance Auto Parts has over 4,000 locations across the United States. The fastest way to find the one closest to you is to use their store locator on their website or call their customer service line. You can also search Google Maps or use their mobile app if you already have it installed.

The store locator tool lets you enter your zip code, city, or street address and shows you every location within a distance you choose. Each result displays the store's address, phone number, hours of operation, and whether it's currently open. Some locations offer services like battery testing or installation, and the locator tells you which ones do.

If you don't have internet access, you can call Advance Auto Parts customer service at 1-800-230-3000 and a representative will tell you the nearest store address and hours. They can also tell you whether a specific location has the part you need in stock before you drive there.

Using the Advance Auto Parts website store locator

Go to advanceautoparts.com and look for the "Store Locator" link, usually found in the top navigation menu or footer. Click it and you'll see a search box asking for your location. Type in your zip code, city name, or full street address.

After you search, the page shows a map with store pins and a list of results ranked by distance. Each listing includes the store address, phone number, hours for today and the rest of the week, and a link to directions. Below that you'll see which services that location offers — things like battery installation, oil changes, or key cutting.

You can narrow results by selecting a distance radius (5 miles, 10 miles, 25 miles, and so on) using the filter options. If you know you need a specific part, you can search for it on the main site first, then use the "Check Nearby Stores" option to see which locations have it in stock right now.

Checking store hours and services before you go

Store hours vary by location. Some Advance Auto Parts stores open at 7 or 8 a.m. and close at 9 or 10 p.m., while others have shorter hours, especially on Sundays. The store locator shows the exact hours for each day of the week, so you won't waste a trip to a closed store.

Not every location offers the same services. Some stores have a battery testing station, some offer installation services, and some have a key-cutting machine. The locator tool lists which services each store provides. If you need a specific service, call ahead at the store's direct number to confirm they can do it that day — sometimes technicians are busy or unavailable.

Many locations also have a service desk where you can ask questions about parts compatibility or installation. Calling the store directly before you visit lets you ask whether they have the exact part you need and whether a technician is available if you want installation help.

Using the Advance Auto Parts mobile app

If you have a smartphone, read the official Advance Auto Parts app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. The app includes a built-in store locator that works the same way as the website version but is faster to access when you're already on the road.

The app also lets you check real-time inventory at nearby stores without calling. Search for a part number or description, and the app shows you which locations have it in stock and how many units they have. You can also use the app to browse weekly deals and coupons that may be available at your local store.

The app sends push notifications about sales and promotions, which can help you save money on parts you need. You can also add items to a wishlist and get alerts when they go on sale.

Calling Advance Auto Parts customer service

If you prefer to talk to a person, call 1-800-230-3000. This is Advance Auto Parts' main customer service line and representatives can help you find a nearby store, check if a part is in stock, or answer questions about services. Wait times vary depending on how busy they are, but you typically reach someone within a few minutes.

Have your zip code or city name ready when you call. Tell the representative what part you're looking for or what service you need, and they can tell you which nearby locations have it or offer it. They can also give you directions or transfer you directly to a store if you want to speak with someone there.

Customer service hours are typically 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday, though hours may vary by season. If you call outside these hours, you'll hear a recorded message with the hours and the option to leave a callback request.

What to know before you visit

Bring your vehicle's year, make, and model when you go to the store, or have that information ready if you call ahead. This helps staff confirm that a part will fit your car and answer questions about installation. If you have your vehicle identification number (VIN), that's even better — it's printed on your registration and dashboard.

Many Advance Auto Parts locations accept returns within 30 days if you change your mind about a part, though some items like batteries or fluids may have different policies. Ask about the return policy when you buy, or check the receipt — it usually lists the important date.

Some stores participate in loyalty programs or offer discounts for members. Ask at the counter whether you can sign up, or check the website to see current promotions. Having a coupon or membership discount ready can save you money on your purchase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I order a part online and pick it up at a store?

Yes. On the Advance Auto Parts website, you can order a part and choose "in-store pickup" at checkout. You'll select which location you want to pick it up from, and the site will tell you when it's ready. Most in-store pickup orders are ready within a few hours, though it depends on whether the store has the part in stock.

Do all Advance Auto Parts stores have the same inventory?

No. Different locations stock different items based on local demand and store size. That's why the locator tool lets you check inventory at specific stores before you drive there. If a nearby store doesn't have what you need, you can order it online for pickup or delivery.

What if the nearest store is too far away?

You can order parts online at advanceautoparts.com and have them shipped to your home, or use in-store pickup at a location that's more convenient for you. Shipping times vary, but standard delivery usually takes three to five business days. You can also call customer service to ask about special orders or regional availability.

Are Advance Auto Parts locations open on holidays?

Most locations are open on major holidays, but hours may be reduced. Check the store locator or call the specific store directly to confirm hours on the holiday you're planning to visit. Some holidays like Christmas may have limited hours or closures at certain locations.

Can I return a part I bought at one store to a different location?

Yes, most Advance Auto Parts locations accept returns from any store as long as you have your receipt and the return is within the allowed timeframe. Bring your receipt and the part in its original condition, and staff can process the return at any location.
