Good for AAP. Very happy with my ODB2 scanner I paid less than half price.

have not shopped at advance much in the last 5 years,(a counter monkey was rude to my wife)don't forsee that changing.

They and autozone are the only local B&M parts dealers where I can check pricing and stock online, make a purchasing decision, get in, get out, get on it.

You'd think they could all do it, but NAPA and Carquest are so full of themselves, the websites are worse than useless.

I still buy some parts at smaller stores but thanks to RockAuto, eBay, AAP, and AZ I know brand, price, and availability going in. I walk if they are too out of line.

The other companies think that because the websites don't sell stuff that they aren't useful.
