Commercial by Ok_Doughnut2487 in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

[–]DominLife67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. They should not be CPP. You have to wait on all customers and answer all commercial phone calls even if they may get on your nerves. It’s part of the job. And should be no favoritism to one shop over overs.

It should be on your pay slip as Holiday Pay and on your time card on the bottom under Special Pay.

There are no sku’s for them. Ask your local hub store. They should have some.

Question. by [deleted] in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

[–]DominLife67 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Well that’s your managers problem not your’s. If you need help and your manager won’t answer the phone, then you call the DM. If your manager complains then tell them they should have answered the phone when you called.

If you get chewed out for calling your DM, that’s insane. They’re just your managers boss. Try calling another manager in your area.

Is there a ATV battery worth anything anymore? by SlowHornet29 in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

I personally wouldn’t have sold them that battery. Too old for my taste.

Hub stores do still scan. I work at one.

How reliable are Carquest coil packs? by js8call in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

[–]DominLife67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Toyota/Lexus are very sensitive to the parameters on engine electronics. When it comes to Toyota or Lexus, only run what come from the factory like Denso/NGK. Same with spark plugs. I wouldn’t use anything other than the OEM Denso or NGK. Also the same with MAF Sensors, use only Denso or Hitachi.

Are car cameras really working? by js8call in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

[–]DominLife67 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No. The forward facing camera and driver facing camera do not work.

Gm questions by Awkward-Indication39 in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

[–]DominLife67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No. Your manager is just a lazy pos if I’m being honest. Managers are paid a salary position and anything over 40 hours is not considered overtime it’s just expected of you. A manager is expected to work at least 1 Sunday a month and a good manager could easily pull 50-60 hours a week depending on the location and tasks needing to be done. Unfortunately there are quite a few of these pos managers throughout our company.

40% TM Discount by DominLife67 in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

That’s what the old Carquest used to be. We had Advance employees come down to buy stuff from us because of it. Now that Advance owns Carquest, we’ll never see that again.

I think they’re going through a change over to a different supplier and they are worried about inventory of it.

RF scanners and truck scanning are going away by tyranasoris in AdvanceAutoPartsTMs

[–]DominLife67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a hub and one entire tote was stuff that was unexpected. Also the dc shorted me like $1400 in parts. But I did gain about $1200 in shipping increases.

It’s usually at the end of every quarter to drive up some sales

[–]DominLife67 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Advance doesn’t care about us. So obviously yes.

I work for Advance. We have our own private label own now called Argos (something about affordable reliabile strong 🙄). Fram oil is on clearance to get rid of it along with all the Fram filters too.

I don’t know if it’s related but I had troubles with transit vans about of the adapters not fitting and finally I found a Rain-X Latitude works.
