Grand Opening Celebration
Advance Auto Parts has officially come to Santee, CA! 10043 Mission Gorge Road is the first of 10 stores Advance plans to open in the San Diego market. To celebrate, Advance will be hosting a community event on January 15th.
The event will be headlined by an appearance from Throtl, a San Diego-based team of car experts and social media influencers. From 10 am to 2 pm, they'll meet and greet local car enthusiasts while giving away frozen treats out of their custom-built ice cream truck. Locals can also stop by for some Advance-branded gear throughout the day.
“We are thrilled to open the doors to our first Advance location in the greater San Diego area," said Joe Garcia, Advance's Vice President of Operations. “It's always exciting to enter a new market for our brand. While we're a new name in Santee, our Team Members are looking forward to providing friendly, expert advice and best-in-class auto parts and products so that our customers can get the right part at the right time for their vehicles."
