Nestled in the heart of the Muhlenberg Industrial Mall, Advance Auto Parts is Reading’s go-to auto parts store, car accessories store, car battery store, and truck accessories store—complete with an on-site tool rental service.

Exceptional, Knowledgeable Service

Walk through our doors and you’ll immediately notice the difference our people make. Customers consistently praise our staff’s friendliness, patience, and deep product knowledge. From Reuben and Kirby to Eileen, John, and the rest of our team, our staff go out of their way to answer your questions, recommend the best solutions, and ensure you leave with confidence.

Impact: Friendly service isn’t just a smile—it means fewer returns, smoother installations, and faster problem-solving so you can get back on the road without delay.

Ultra-Fast Part Procurement

Time is money, and we respect both. Our ultra-fast procurement process—often delivering specific parts in as little as one hour—has earned glowing reviews in both English and Spanish (“Economico y en 1 hora me consiguieron la pieza que buscaba”). Whether it’s a hard-to-find sensor or a custom accessory for your truck, we track it down and have you back on the jobsite in record time.

Impact: Minimizing downtime means you finish repairs sooner, stay on schedule, and avoid the frustration of long waits or extra trips.

Comprehensive Inventory & Selection

Advance Auto Parts offers a broad selection that’s hard to match. From essential car batteries and brake pads to high-performance truck accessories and specialty car accessories, “they have almost everything.” Our diverse inventory reduces the need to hop between stores—saving you time and ensuring you find exactly what you need under one roof.

Impact: One-stop convenience means fewer trips, clearer project planning, and less hassle tracking down parts.

Competitive Pricing & Value

We understand that price matters. Many customers appreciate our competitive pricing and feel they “always got the best prices on every part [they] could need.” At the same time, we’re aware that some patrons have noticed higher prices and occasional dips in part quality. That feedback is vital: it drives us to refine our supplier relationships and continually scout for the best deals so you don’t have to compromise on cost—or quality.

Impact: Balanced pricing strategies ensure you receive reliable parts at fair market value, while our commitment to improvement protects your bottom line.

Convenient Location & Accessibility

Conveniently located in the Muhlenberg Industrial Mall, Advance Auto Parts is easy to reach from major roads and residential neighborhoods alike. Whether you’re in downtown Reading or coming from nearby communities, our site is designed for swift in-and-out visits.

Note on Hours: We’re working hard to ensure our posted hours match reality. While some shoppers have experienced unexpected closures—especially on weekends—we encourage you to call ahead or check our store’s real-time status online before making the trip.

Impact: Reliable hours and clear scheduling help you plan better, avoid wasted trips, and get the parts you need when you need them.

Specialized Services: Tool Rental & More

Beyond parts and accessories, our in-store tool rental service equips you with professional-grade equipment for everything from brake jobs to battery installations. No need to invest in costly tools you’ll only use once—rent what you need, for as long as you need it. This service is a game-changer for DIYers and professionals alike, offering flexibility and savings.

Impact: Tool rentals reduce project overhead and empower you with the right gear, precisely when it’s required.

Dedication to Quality & Continuous Improvement

Quality is at the core of what we do, and we take your concerns seriously. Feedback about part quality inspires us to deepen our partnerships with trusted manufacturers, expand our inspection protocols, and enhance staff training so you receive durable, reliable components every time.
