it depends on what part of town you are in.
if you shop at an advance that used to be a parts america or a nationwise( i'm old) they seem to have have more experienced employees. if you shop at an advance that is a new store the help is kinda so-so autozone seems to be hit or miss the one by my house sucks, but I went to one in another state and the service was excellent.
best bet if you want the right part in stock everytime is NAPA or International Auto Parts
I'm not biased but when I need something I usually need it now and the longest I've had to wait for a part from napa/ iap is a couple hours with advance or autozone its overnight or a couple days usually.
