Re: [MBZ] *sigh* Advance...
That’s too bad. I’ve got two Advance Autos within like five minutes of my house. The one I frequent (if you call every 2-3 months frequent) used to have a really good manager that I struck up a friendship with, but he left for a better job. It’s still pretty good depending on who is behind the counter. There are a couple of guys who have been there a while that are good, but the rest of the help wastes good air we could be breathing. I do like the fact that they have a 500 gallon waste oil tank, so no matter when I go there I can always drop off my waste oil. The other store nearby must have a 55 gallon drum or something, as the few times I’ve been by there they always have a sign on the door about the oil tank being full. There’s an Autozone even closer than the Advanced Autos, but I don’t particularly care for them as they rarely have spiffs for online orders like AZ has. -D > On Jan 22, 2022, at 6:55 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes > wrote: > > I ordered some pushrods for my Ghia from Advance.

Re: [MBZ] *sigh* Advance...
I ordered some pushrods for my Ghia from Advance. Took a day or two to get from the warehouse to local store, then I got the notice that they had arrived and were ready to pick up. When I got to the store nobody had any idea about my order or the parts. Finally they get a manager to come over and they did have the order, it was on a shelf right behind the checkout counter. None of the staff apparently had any idea how anything worked with special orders. At least in my case I did get the parts, after 15 or 20 minutes of them fooling around.

[MBZ] *sigh* Advance...
So I order online for that magnetic block heater. Advance's website says "in stock, available in 30 minutes" I give the 4 hours and arrive to find that they haven't gotten the order and don't have one. I get the part number, the guy looks it up "we'll, we're supposed to have one." They spend some time "looking around" before they confirm they really don't have one. Then that's it, no offer to order one, no apology, no nothing. Another in the long list of reasons Advance can suck it.
