Advance Autoparts Commercial Account information

[Dave]

are there things excluded from discount?

I just bought a battery from the vienna store and got no discount

yeah, I think there are lots of things excluded. I've bought quite a few things from the Advance in C'ville that I set up a MM commercial account for and haven't gotten a discount yet. They're out of my way to get to, so I've stopped shopping there and go to one that is more convenient.

the discount is mostly on like actual parts (brake Caliper, rotors, etc, etc...), not so much batteries, paint, oil, put it this way, stuff behind the counter, bigger discount, stuff infront of counter, 0-little discount.....

Actually what is killing you guys is that the system resets the "discount" every few weeks.

[Evan]

is this still active? Couldnt find the account in the computer at the Falls Church (rt 50) store.

[D_Eclipse9916]

Evan, the system is not linked between stores. The only stores I can confirm are Harrisonburg Main Street and Vienna VA off of 123. I will check tomorrow to make sure the highest commercial is setup at vienna.

[V1GiLaNtE]

wow didn't know this existed.. I would like in please?

[Kaan]

I can promise that Vienna still works... it didnt work in chantilly... but that guy was an idiot and i couldnt even talk to him.

I was able to save about 10% on a bunch of stuff... but my cat netted me almost a 30% savings.

What's the current deal on this? Is this something I could approach Advanced Auto with and bring this back to life for paying MMers??

[Sully]

Pretty sure its a commercial account and still in effect. Not sure anything needs to be done to use it.

How do we use this?

DJ had set it up, with the highest discount. But, if I remember correctly, unless you buy X amount a month, it resets to the lowest discount. So when DJ worked there he had to always reset it to the highest level. It only works on parts, not carwax and air fresheners.

Yeah, unfortunately only the commercial manager can put it at the highest.

PS- Even at the lower levels, axles and stuff like that are significantly cheaper. Just say put it on the madison motorsports commercial account when they are ringing you up. I only made sure it was good for the hburg one off of south main, and vienna one off of maple avenue.

[JPolen01]

Thanks guys. Next time I need a "bigger" part I will check this out.

There's always the clearance finder on rockauto, its kind of a crap shoot but its worth looking for stuff there. A set of spark plug wires for the Miata is like $18, OEM or "performance" ones are $50, which is reeeee-diculous. Cheap car, she's gettin cheap parts.

FYI, oil and filters don't count for this Advance discount. It's basically the stuff that you can't get by wandering around the store. Anything that comes from BOH (back of house) is typically fair game.

Hey Guys,

I had my own commercial account for a while as well, almost all of the brands that Advance carries exclusively is on discount. The only downside is, if you don't maintain a level of purchases per month the discount will drop to zero. It's a classification of the account, which most store managers will set to Gold in the very beginning.

What was the info on this? We want to see if it's still in the system.

Its under Madison Motorsports. Its been almost a decade since I worked for AA so I have no idea how it's setup.
