    Online purchases can be returned to any Advance Auto Parts store within 45 days from the date of purchase as NEW, which means the item must be in its original condition and packaging, unopened and uninstalled, including all original materials supplied with the item. Please bring the original packaging and your receipt and have your Order Confirmation email ready.

    • Your refund will be credited back to you using the same payment method you used for your original order.
