Works, and I like how it shows nice and clear that the part is an exact fit for the car. I didn't enjoy scrolling and scrolling to see the weekly offers, though. I didn't see the offer when I looked up the part, but I had to go to the "deals" page and scroll all the way down. Also, the hours for the store I went to pick up were wrong on the app, but right on google maps. I took a trip in vain because of this.
Reviews for Advance Auto Parts + Tools/Acc
The app worked rather well before the previous update, and now it's useless. No matter the vehicle selected, or if I'm signed in or not, if I search for any part, bundle, tool, or the like the search takes forever and says that 0 results were found. The most recent update has bricked the app and made it a literal waste of space on my phone. Until the issue is resolved use the vastly more reliable website, and avoid the waste of time that is this app.
Placed a same day delivery, wasn't delivered within 24 hours. Called to find out where it was, since the app stated it had been picked up. The store said the order was still waiting pickup, and the store employee called their customer service who stated they had no record of the order. There's a bug here, but most of all, an employee should have notified me of the issue when a same day delivery order is still at the store the next day. And it's impossible to get my mil discount on the app.
Easy to use and enter vehicle details. Allows searching for multiple selections (direct fit, universal, brand specific). Great customer experience. In response to the developer, to get 5*, I'd have to say more of the refurb (rebuilt) part availability, sometimes that's the budget some of us customers are working with and that would save me from having to go search the salvage yards just to get parts a little cheaper than brand new..
Need better way to change stores when your preferred store is out of stock. I had to reselect the items and indicate that I wanted to pick it up at a different location. then I had to go back into my shopping cart and remove the items that were in there that were still pointing to the store that had them out of stock. you're very cumbersome and can be dangerous way of doing this. you could accidentally order more items than you intended. Advanced Auto needs to take a look at the app and fix it.
overall, it is a good app to check for parts and order. I would like to be able to add more vehicles to my garage, access manuals / diagrams. Also, speed perks have become more difficult to acquire in my opinion. Still, not many bugs on this & mostly accurate on the online inventory of parts (if the app says "in stock" more times than not, it will be at the store)
I love the Speed Perks rewards!!! They have saved me so much money since I signed up and registered in the app. The coupons are very helpful and have saved me a great deal of money as well. The garage feature makes it easy to switch between multiple vehicles. If you service your own cars, you cannot, not save money shopping whit Advance!!
Pretty good, with a few annoyances. Mainly you have to login every single time (and you have to go out of your way to do it), and it doesn't store credit cards or hint to android to use a saved card--so every purchase you have to enter it again. Outside of that it's pretty good--search is painfully slow but that's the same on the website, so I wouldn't fault the app.
The only way to buy the parts you need. Countess times I've been into the store only to get sold the wrong part, or told that what I want doesn't exist in their inventory options. Low and behold, when I use this app to make my purchase, all those errors stopped. don't waste your time dealing with useless countermen that don't have a clue what you're talking about. Just buy online, pick up in the store and save yourself hours of headache and wasted time/gas.
As others have stated, the app is very slow; about ten seconds for anything to load. But it's gotten worse than that. Many buttons don't work anymore: edit store, edit payments, etc. Right this minute I'm trying to order two parts for pickup. Both are available at a nearby store but I am unable to change the pickup location of one part at my main store, which doesn't have the other in stock. So if I want to use the app (and use an online discount code) I have to go to both locations.
