Account

It no longer allows me to sign in

Useless

The only thing that you can do with the app is call the store unless you have the vehicle present since a VIN is required to look up parts. When I’m ordering parts I often do not have the vehicle present so I can’t do anything with this app other than call the store. I already have their phone number so that’s really not helpful. I have no idea why they wouldn’t provide the option to just enter the vehicle info manually.

No account.

The app has no way for me to make a account there is no way for me to sign up all I can do is sign in and when I press forget password there is no option to create a account.

This app is useless.

Almost worthless after latest update

edit 10/13/22: the app updated & now when selecting scan vin the camera view is only 1/4 of the screen. it wasnt perfect before but i could still get it to read most vins, now its only worked on the last 2 out of 10 cars

I use it only for vin scanning b/c our commercial account isn’t set up for online ordering..One thing I’d like to see added is a rotation lock. On some cars (most recently a ‘07 Explorer) the barcode sticker is vertical on the door but the barcode runs horizontal so it’s tricky to get it scanned before the app rotates. Other than that I’ve had 0 problems

This is annoying

Everything for the most part is good until I order my parts. Once I place my order regardless of it being in my store my delivery time changes every time I place an order. Whether my store has it in stock or not.

How do I use the VIN scanner feature?

You can scan a vehicle's barcode, which can be found on the windshield or door. The app will decode the VIN and display the vehicle's detailed information, such as year, make, model, and engine. This information can then be used to find parts.

Is this app free to use?

The app itself is free to download and use. However, to look up parts or upload scanned vehicles to your account, you must be an active professional customer with an Advance Professional account. There may be associated costs with parts purchases.

What are the requirements to use this app?

To use the core features like looking up parts or uploading scanned vehicles, you must be an active professional customer with an Advance Professional account. You can contact your nearest Advance Auto Parts store or visit my.advancepro.com to learn about starting a professional account or obtaining online credentials.

What if I'm not a professional customer?
