Best Auto Chemistry Shop Cambridge Near Me

Derek Furman: It's actually a fairly shabby place that smells like any garage. The inventory on the shelves was sparse but it was the end of the day on a Friday the employees were cool but sort of cool like you know your buddies. They were very Frank and at first they were annoyed because I needed a part looked up but they quickly changed their tune as people do with me because I am affable. They didn't have what I wanted so it was another waste of time but I think if you want some spark plugs in oil that's a place to go I mean it doesn't have to be Tiffany's to sell you spark plugs and oil. +1 Star responded to review thank you.

Jonathan Kamens: 1. Didn't have the bulb I needed in stock.2. Sold me an LED version of the bulb instead, for like 5x the price, and claimed it would work fine with my car.3. When I got home I saw that the package said "for off-road use only", so they should not have sold it to me and claimed I could use it in my car!4. I tried it anyway and it didn't work in my car.5. I went back to the store, had to tell the story to two different people, the second of whom made me stand there for five minutes while he typed on his computer before even listening to the story.6. After telling the story to that person he said I would have to come back tomorrow for a refund because only the manager could authorize it and he wasn't there.Garbage service in every way start to finish.

Rusty Sammon: Friendly and knowledgeable. Thanks Harold!

Dimitri Loulourgas: I think advanced Auto is a fantastic place to get your parts I've been a mechanic for over 30 years I recommend the company highly.

Robert Carkhuff: The guy working inside is absolutely horrible. I tried returning a headlight I never used. I still had my receipt and everything the African American gentleman was very rude and wouldn’t take my return. Will never use advance auto parts again they always mess up my orders

Bad review coming: Stop cranking your music at the end of the shift. Just leave work. People live in the neighborhood and you’re a nuisance.

Ali Hasan: You can find almost anything here if you need parts for vehicle or need something fixed.

Lola Delarosa: Fast and Reliable.

Arjun Santosh: Employees are very nice & helpful

J fam: Experience 1: they sold me a new car battery that I have to jump start every week, in retrospect, my old car battery would have worked just as fine with a jump starter.Experience 2: the website and store advertises they open at 7.30 am from Monday to Friday, today the store hasn't opened until 8 am I have waited for 20 mins outside the door already

Fernando Vargas: The store in Allston is clean and organized the stuff are very nice and attentive, if you buy an item there they helped you to instal it, some times I have and issue with the payment station, it is too old.

Christine Ashman: Staff was very helpful

Priya Mehra: been here 2x for help and always had great help from the staff!first I called & asked about different portable car battery jumpers and when I came in I was able to get help choosing the right model for my car.recently I had to change my car remote battery and was having trouble doing it myself. I went in with the battery and they were able to change it for me, no cost to me. thanks to Anthony & everyone for always being helpful & friendly!

John Evans: It's great for your small little repair shop for parts but not a great huge inventory because it is a small shop but I love the guys there so I'd rather go there and order it and wait for the part

Shanique Johnson: Great customer service and helpful!

Rasheed Darby: Advance auto parts in Allston. Man Anthony and ceaser are the best people in the world at this location. My experience at this shop was amazing. Definitely the best auto shop to my car parts from. Shout out to those two

Okan Yazmacilar: Guy helped me a lot to find my headlamp code. He even offered help to install it!

hello there: For car stuff, they're fine. But I have been in there over the past week and their staff is not wearing masks, and if you ask them to put on a mask, they do it grudgingly or not at all. Anthony the manager seems like a nice guy but Anthony-- it's a law in Boston, so please supervise your staff to wear a mask. It's not just the law but it's also caring about the people who walk in the door. Thanks.

MB: Good selection. Polite staff. Reasonable price point.

MJ Jacem: Good selection. Price point reasonable.

Gabriella: Had a great experience at this location. Jesse helped me find wiper fluid and graciously helped me refill it in my car. He helped me figure out how to effectively us my wipers, which I'd been having difficulty with, to ensure that my windshield would stay clear and safe in the winter. If you're looking for an auto parts store with friendly and helpful employees, this location has it!

Donal Waide: Helpful staff.

Herman Lawson: Very polite great customer service

Cam Monagle: Went in today for a marine battery and Jesse went ABOVE and BEYOND to help me out. I was very happy to have him help me because he was so helpful to the person ahead of me as well. Not many people willing to help me like he did today!

Nancy Louis: Customer service was great!!!!

Brien Murphy: they sucked gave me the wrong part,wasted my day fighting trying to get it on and come to find out the guy gave me the wrong part.this is the second time in a week they gave me the wrong part to.

Anna-Ellen Lenart: Staff members Alpha and John went above and beyond to help me select the correct windshield wiper blades as I would’ve messed this task up if left to do it independently. This location rocks and I’ve never left a review so trying to send positive recognition when I see it.

Ben Corn (Pierce): Worker was really helpful when I needed a new battery. Lent me the tools I needed

Ocuville Eye Center: Cool. Friendly staff

John Evans: I absolutely love this store I used to always go to AutoZone in the rest of the country all across the country but I found that it at advance Auto for the most part they have very competent people who actually know a little bit about what they're talking about on cars rather than just a few weeks of training to teach them a whole world of knowledge but at this advance Auto the guys and girls that help at the front counter are very knowledgeable especially the girls and that my friends is a rare thing to find I always go back to there hope you like this

Jeffrey Harris: Needed new battery. Very good service, knowledgeable mgr.

M Leona “Leona” Bennett: Keon was very professional and helpful..knowledgeable

Mike Davis: Always have what I need

guy josif: W porched a brake pads for my at this location even they told me that it is a life time warranty, and they sold me a defaced brake pads. I returned it to them the brake pads but the manager refused to take it back. This the second time they are doing this to me. The manager who is wearing glasses I think his name is Mike I’m not totally sure. For the second time I bought an AC refrigerating and I asked them before I bought. After I paid them and the refrigerating wasn’t the correct one for my car, they refused to take it back. This place has unprofessional service if you really like your car, please please do not take it at this place please. Please go to Autozone instead they have the best and professional service. I got upset after I bought the refrigerating and they refused to take back I end up leaving my $50 because they didn’t refund me.

She found the ones I needed, gave me advice on which ones were better than others and went outside in the cold and snow to put them on my car for me. I am so grateful for her help!

Jason Britton: Excellent service.

Jorgette: This place closes early I guess. Be prepared to be greeted by a locked door.

Rikang Huang: Very poor customer services

Sheila O'Malley: Very helpful, friendly worker Oz, helped us order the right part, and picked up a few days later!

Fatemeh Hadi: I ordered one "DieHard Platinum AGM" battery at 2:55pm on 06/15/2022.- According to the store website, the item was in stock. However, when I got there and called them at 5:43pm they told me they needed to locate the item.- I also requested an installation, but the employee who answered my phone informed me that they were the only employee present in the store and therefore could not offer me an installation (free installation is advertised when you are actually making a purchase).- After about 20 minutes, when they brought me the battery, it was a "DieHard Silver" battery! DieHard Silver is two models cheaper than DieHard Platinum. When I noticed it was the wrong battery, they took it back inside.- After about another 20 minutes, another employee came outside and let me know that they did not have the Platinum battery. I asked them to return the signed receipt. They offered an explanation as to why they should not return the signed receipt that was not logical on any level and asked me to follow them inside the store. I had to keep my car running because my battery was almost dead.- Inside the store, I got the signed receipt from the first employee but this made the second employee upset and they displayed an unpleasant behavior.- The second employee did not offer a refund nor asked what my preference would be in dealing with the situation and started contacting another store. After about 10 minutes, they told me I needed to go to another Advanced Auto Parts store in Everett, MA.- I received the battery in the store in Everett about 7:00pm but I had received an email from the store in Medford with the subject "Your Item has Been Picked Up" at 5:53pm.- I helped the employee in the Everett store to replace my battery. They were not skillful but I did not mind helping them at all. However, I have to mention that during the replacement there was a spark which I did not appreciate. I am mentioning this last point because I think it is the responsibility of Advanced Auto Parts to train their employees and not just advertise free battery installation.I am giving Advanced Auto Parts in Medford two stars and not one because eventually I got the battery. However, it certainly did not go as well as one might have expected.

Bruce: Went to return a can of Freon that was never opened. The seal was never broke. The clerk held the can and said it was empty. He picked up a new can in the store to compare weight per my request and said "it was a little light". I told him I lost the receipt and had the card. He typed my phone number in the system and could not be found and said I couldn't return it. My name wouldn't be in the system because I'm not a member. I don't know any chain store that only allows return with a receipt and not with credit card. Going to avoid autopart in the future.

Nayeem: Helpful staff and good maintenance

charles owens: I like most auto parts stores

Lord Tremendous: Well stocked store in an easy to find location. Staff was helpful, but not super friendly or professional. Not rude, but dismissive. Still, they had what I needed and the staff was as helpful as they needed to be. Not the worst Experiance, but far from a good one either. Don't avoid, but don't go in expecting a friendly or courteous Experiance.

Andrew Rosenstock: Don’t know what people are talking about in regards to service. I went in tonight and Oz was shower helpful. Took time to show me what I needed and even suggested something else as an option.

Edwin Hernandez: Bien organizado, atención inmediata, y si tienes, rewards tienes descuentos.

Charles Lombardo: The staff is very helpful and willing to help. Always have what I need.

Karim Bouziane: The bad custmer service ever I had in my entire life

JJ Fur: The customer service at the Medford location is beyond poor. Most staff members are not interested in helping you nor are they very friendly when they do so. I tend to buy all of parts and accessories on Advance’s website for in store pickup because of the coupons they offer and to minimize the amount of time I spend with associate who could care less or claim Advance does not sell what I am looking to purchase. Even when I purchase online, my in store order is not pulled, whether it be several hours or days later (which is not a huge deal, just annoying). I like the brand, just not this store.

Richard Bloom: I went to another store to return a battery jumper I thought I needed to jump my car, but was able to get if started without it and never used it, still had the box and original packaging but could not find the receipt and the store said I found it they would take it back. I find the receipt and bring it to Malden, and they refuse to take it back, despite nothing on the box, receipt, return policy, or sign in the store. I went back to the original store that took it back no problem.

Jadyn Holste: Very nice gentleman at the store helped me pick out wipers and put them on my car. I was very appreciative. Service was fast and friendly.

Zeid EL-Basyouni: Very bad service, the guy not wearing mask

Tyler M. Early: Great staff, very helpful.
