Someone needs to have a talk with Ronald about customer service and how he speaks to customers. Extremely disrespectful towards an elderly couple while I was there and proceeded to ignore me as he got into it with them. Do better

I hope this email finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an unpleasant incident that occurred today at the AutoZone located on 30th Street. I went to the store with the intention of purchasing cleaner for the interior of my car, along with tire cleaner in preparation for the upcoming weekend. However, what should have been a routine shopping experience turned into a distressing incident of racial profiling.Upon entering the store, I noticed three Caucasian employees standing at the front desk, seemingly idle and not attending to any customers. As I proceeded through the store, I couldn't help but notice two of the employees constantly hovering around me, while the third employee remained at the back of the store. This unwarranted attention made me increasingly uncomfortable and uneasy.Feeling compelled to address the situation, I approached the employees and asked if they truly believed I would engage in any form of theft. Despite my verbal questioning, the unwarranted surveillance continued as I moved to another area of the store. It was evident that I was being unfairly singled out solely based on my race.Frustrated and humiliated by this experience, I promptly gathered all the items I had intended to purchase and placed them on the front cashier's desk before leaving the store. I cannot express how deeply insulted I felt by being subjected to racial profiling in such a blatant manner. This incident should not have occurred, and it is imperative that action is taken to prevent instances like this from happening to other individuals.I understand that mistakes can happen and that people may act based on past experiences. However, it is important to emphasize that racial profiling is not only unjust, but it also perpetuates stereotypes and discrimination. Such practices have no place in our society and must be actively discouraged.I kindly request that you address this matter within your organization. It is my hope that steps will be taken to educate and train employees regarding cultural sensitivity, equality, and the importance of treating all customers fairly and respectfully, regardless of their race or ethnicity. Furthermore, I encourage you to implement policies that promote diversity and inclusion within your establishment, ensuring that all customers feel valued and comfortable during their interactions with your staff.Thank you for your attention to this matter. I trust that you will handle it promptly and appropriately. I hope that my experience can serve as a catalyst for positive change, leading to a more inclusive and equitable shopping environment at AutoZone.Yours sincerely,TT

I don't have a "go to" when it comes to auto parts stores. I want to be treated as though my safety and satisfaction with what's being explained and or sold to me is top billing at that moment. While I am more than satisfied with the service, availability, and prices with advanced auto, I refuse to disrespect the two other auto parts stores that I frequent as well. That being said, I would like show homage to advance auto as well as the two other auto parts stores for always sharing my car woes with positive results on each and every visit. Keep us all moving. Thanks

The customer service here is amazing. My car was having battery issues and I stopped by the store right before they closed down for the night. The employees were great and helped me out immediately by testing out the serviceability of my battery, and ultimately, replacing it for me. I will definitely be returning here for any of my automotive needs due to the customer service alone. Great service!

I wonder if people wonder why I give so many five-star recommendations.I really appreciate these businesses across America that do so much for our peopleI feel like a lot of these businesses people just don't appreciate what we have in America that is help to make America so great...!!!Like the fast foods restaurantsI think we should have the ability to give a tip to these placesEspecially those who are richIf it wasn't for places like McDonald's and Wendy'sThe rich would have to plowplantWeedHarvestCan or freezePackage and take to work...!!!They do none of these thingsjust walk up to the counterpay for itand walk out...And our full restaurants that give us a meal with the waiter or waitress..They do no workThe staff does it all...AndAnd we enjoy these wonderful facilities to eat it in...!!!!!

The Staff is helpful and cares about your needs but the last 4/5 times I've went they've had to order parts to get them for me because they were not in stock and that is why I rated them 3stars. One of the qualities of this particular place is if you go online on to their site and purchase stuff and do the pick up in store you can add some of the great coupons/discounts to the total and save an enormous amount of money and not too many others even do that. Kudos to them!

Needed a starter for my junk Chevy. Advanced had one half the price of NAPA. Likely not the same quality, but I would have put used motor oil in that garbage. The cheapest possible starter was what the doctor ordered, and Advanced delivered.

what a great auto store. They always have everything I need. My alternator was going bad on the way down 301 so I pulled in and they had the actual alternator that goes to my truck. They let me borrow the tools to installed it and then they let me borrow their jump start box to start my truck and then I was on my way with a brand-new alternator. I would highly recommend this place anytime

Advance Auto Parts in La Plata, MD was amazing to us! My son needed two new batteries for his F-250 truck. Ms. Darlene and her team were very helpful and remained light-hearted throughout some confusion making the sale. Many thanks to them for getting my son back on the road again!!!! I would highly recommend them!

Great service back at the commerical department. Im trying to rebuild my hubs and I think there is aftermarket parts involved ,that I couldn't figure out. The commercial guy let me bring in the hub and we spent at least 30 mins trying to figure out what a particular broken piece was. He was very helpful and intuitive and he narrowed it down and helped me figure out I was missing an essential component, AND helped me figure out where I could find a discontinued part. I will catch his name later when I pick up an axle oil seal. One of the smarter commerical parts guys I have met through Avdnce auto. Will be coming back!
