Thank you Tony and Manny for helping me with my cars battery. They are both extremely knowledgeable and kind. They were quick to help me find what I was looking for and helped with replacing the battery.

Man when I tell you I love this store. Especially this young guy named Jeremiah, he’s fast, nice, and a funny a- dude. Got me all my parts while working the counter by himself.

I drove there in my truck because I needed a new battery because I knew they could swap them out, but I made a big mistake. 30 minutes after the guy started all I hear him saying is "I don't know why it's not working" so I tried to be helpful and said "Maybe you knocked something loose." This seemed to make him defensive and he said "I didn't knock anything lose." I replied "I'm just trying to help with suggestions, maybe it's a fuse?" To which he said "I'm checking the fuse now." So I left him alone and he couldn't get it working until a customer came up and they started talking. The customer asked if I had a screwdriver which I gave him and it started again. Apparently the employee had shorted out my vehicle while changing the battery and blown more than one fuse. When they tried to take the fuse out they crushed it and then used the metal inside to bypass it (see picture) so that my vehicle would run. I was told to take it to the shop to get the 80A fuse fixed, and when I drove away I noticed my stereo wasn't working now either. I assume the employee crisscrossed the positive and negative terminals to blow the fuses that were working when I drove up, but the whole ordeal wasted an hour of my life just to cost me more money. I would strongly recommend not putting your trust in Advanced Auto Parts technical ability if you don't want your vehicle damaged. *edit 5-11-2023* To get the two fuses fixed and run an electrical test was a total of $186.26 and my truck was in the shop for 3 days. That's pretty expensive for a free battery change service.
