PHOENIXVILLE - Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a leading automotive aftermarket retailer of parts, batteries, accessories and maintenance items, today announced it will open its first store in Phoenixville at 323 Schuylkill Road on November 5th.
Company officials said they chose this location for the store because it’s convenient to where their customers live and shop as well as the garages where they take their vehicles for repair.
Fenton Hanchett is the new General Manager and works with nine other Team Members there. A three-year veteran of the automotive and retail sales industries, Mr. Hanchett has been with the Advance Auto Parts Team for three years.
The new store offers customers a wide range of parts and recognized national brands as well as several free services. Store Team Members will install windshield wipers for free, and also install batteries following a complimentary check of the vehicle’s electrical system and old battery. The store offers fast parts delivery to local commercial customers, such as professional mechanics and garages. Customers also can drop off used motor oil and batteries for recycling – ensuring that these materials don’t end up in landfills where they could harm the environment.
Vehicle know-how is made easier than ever by Advance helping customers master their machines.
“These free automotive know-how tools, and the expert advice the new store’s 10 Team Members provide, help customers to keep their wheels turning and their lives on track,” said Ralph LaSalle, District Manager for Advance Auto Parts. “The right parts at the right price are as important as the right advice and educational tools to finish the job.”
The store is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
