What it costs

Prices checked October 31, 2026, from Advance Auto Parts’s own pricing page unless noted. Prices change often, so check the official page before you buy.

• Prices vary by part; its site showed online-order deals and store pickup (checked October 30, 2026).
• Its returns page explains returns for new, unused parts with a receipt; some parts such as electrical items have limits.

What we like

• Store pickup.
• Big parts catalog.
• Speed Perks rewards.
• Outside reviews on several sites.

What to watch for

• Trustpilot score is weak.
• Some stores have closed.
• Online prices can differ from store prices.
• Returns on electrical parts are limited.

The main alternative: AutoZone

AutoZone is the closest big rival.

What it costs: Varies by part

Pick Advance Auto Parts if you…

• want pickup at an Advance store.
• want its rewards.
• want online-order discounts.

Pick AutoZone if you…

• want a store close to you that Advance lacks.
• want loaner tools.
• want a different rewards program.

Our take

Advance Auto Parts works for everyday repair parts with store pickup; confirm fitment and the return terms before you buy.
