As an employee of Advance, it is nice when customers give us tips for installing wipers or batteries. However, you do not have to do so if you dont want to or cannot.

We offer a variety of free services at our stores. Stop by your local store for free engine code scanning on most OBD II vehicles!

No. This is a tip free company.

In the South, a designated bagger often carries your groceries to the car and loads them so you don't have to do so. This service is provided for the elderly, the handicapped, and for ladies. That person is always tipped.

Never feel as if you're obliged to tip your mechanic, especially if you feel the work took an inordinate amount of time to complete or if you've just been hit with a bill far greater than you expected to pay. But when someone comes through and delivers above average service, tipping is perfectly acceptable.
