      On April 11 at 5:30pm I called your ****** store location to bring in battery cores that I had accumulated the woman. Spoke to said bring them in. So drove to the location brought them in . The women I spoke to the proceeded to ask the other women now on how to process the cores for she had no clue either . So after multiple calls to *** ****** the store manager finally called back His response was we don’t buy back cores for store credit, which I know it is un true so now 3 people can’t help process a simple transaction. I walk outside call the ****** location they said bring them in they know how to process them so we left ****** reloaded the core up went to ****** where they took 5 of the nine in no problem. And I got the lawn and garden battery I needed . Great job team ****** . Being I didn’t want to cart 4 more cores back in decided to drop them at ******** right next door and got 10 dollars ea instead of the 5 advance gave me and the battery was cheaper there also.. I feel advance auto shorted me 5 cores at 20 bucks over charged me 8 dollars on a battery and cost me gas mileage from ****** to ****** . And to have 3 people at one location have a total disregard for there own policies. Would appreciate a apology from the store manager and be nice to get what the competition is payin For cores .

      Placed an order o line last week with my bank debit card. Had to return because they always say something is in stocks and it never is. They said the money would go back to my card in 3 to 5 business days. It's been 6 now and I call customer support and they say the system messed up and issued me a virtual gift card and the only thing they can do is cancel it and issue me a check. I will have to pay to cash the check because it's not free. I want my money returned to my card like it was supposed to be and I was told. You cannot take someone's money and not return it to where it came from especially if it's not the payment type you received.
