WE have a local Advance store that gives our club members a 10% discount. If it's normal parts I usually go there but for speed parts I still go to my local speed shop!!

Yep, i work for advance, anybody military or retire get 10 percent, we give it so much everyday. it doesnt seem like much but its a few saved dollars or even more depending on the purchase.
I agree completely. I just stay away from the "tuner" isle.
I remember that isle with great disdain when I was working there. We had a whole isle devoted to stickers and neon stuff, but a small little end cap for SBC high performance stuff.
well all this is good to hear about my employer, and it is nice to know that people are trying to get the word out about the military discount since not many people know that anymore since not all the stores are near military
yeah, its nice to hear about us! im glad to see this thread and it wasn't something that a worker posted, gives me great pride for working there...thank you all for your kind words
Most auto parts stores give us a military discount Advance Auto Parts, Pep Boys, Kragen, etc. The only one who said they didn't was an AutoZone I went to in Pueblo, Co. Don't kmow if the guy was just an idiot or if they all don't. Either way, never been back to one to find out. While we're on the subject, Jack in the Box also gives military discount!
EEEWWWW Advance auto, I hate them, I once went through 6 bad alternator from them, one bad one after another, and the good one only lasted about 1 year, also at the one by me they are complete idiots, ill stick with napa thank you very much
this post was not intended to put one parts store above another . it was just intended to show an appreciation for our military given by one store chain . it's great to hear of other stores that do the same . it has not always been true . when i came back from Viet Nam the 1st & 2nd time we were getting spit at and things thrown at us . i THANK GOD that our troops today are treated much better . anyway just an old , old gearhead venting that still does care . BTW , i still do all my own wrenching . GOD BLESS AMERICA & AND OUR TROOPS .

I forget about it most of the time when I visit the stores, our Schucks, Auto Zone give military discounts. Not sure about the NAPA store I frequent since I have a preferred customer account there. Since I'm in a military town, there are several other stores that give military discounts.
The Napa By Me Gives A Milatary discount, they also usually give me a "poor mechanics" discount because I buy so much crap from them (usually 10% off) and im broke
Almost every big business auto store has the military discount. I know NAPA has it here and so does O'Reilly Auto Parts.
Those are the only ones I go to the auto zones and advanced autos around here have terrible service and like said above are all about flash.

NAPA does also. In military towns, there are a lot of places giving military discounts that you'd be surprised do. The Arby's in Fallon does. The Taco Bell in Barstow does, etc. I always ask. Most of the time the answer is no, but sometimes I am surprised. IHOP does a 20% discount.
Advance Auto Parts also has their rewards program: 5 purchases of $20 or more gets you $20 to spend at the store. With oil changes for five vehicles, it adds up, and I use it to add "nice to have" tools. For oil, filters, waxes, etc. Advance is good.
