True, but their recent website redesign has made the web site an abomination. Finding something like a battery is simple, but try searching for a light bulb using an industry standard number, or for that matter, the vendor’s part number. Ugh. -D > On Jan 13, 2019, at 3:47 PM, Andrew Strasfog

Advance Auto has gotten better over the years. I got a great battery deal and it was super convenient purchasing online and PU'ing at their store. Same for brake calipers. On Sun, Jan 13, 2019 at 3:41 PM Mitch Haley via Mercedes < mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > Advance Auto coupons should work
