About Advance Auto Parts

Advance Auto Parts sells to two buyers out of its stores: drivers doing their own repairs, and repair shops and other commercial businesses buying parts for the cars in their bays. Customer account managers own the professional side: they visit an assigned list of shops and commercial accounts, make sales calls, roll out the company's commercial programs and keep the store team in step on availability and delivery times, working to goals agreed with district leaders and store general managers and pitching in on the counter, the shelves and the truck when needed. In the store the sales seats form a ladder: an entry-level sales associate sells to DIY customers in person and by phone, tests and fits batteries and wipers and handles stocking and parts runs, a Sales Pro (ASE P2 certified or ready) diagnoses problems, sources hard-to-find parts and holds the keys, and a counter pro sells parts across the counter to commercial accounts and walk-in customers. In Canada the stores trade as Carquest, with CARQUEST Canada Ltd as the employer, and hire Sales Pros, counter pros and commercial account managers in Ontario, the Maritimes and Quebec. Bilingual English and Spanish account manager seats cover the Bronx, Yonkers and Mount Vernon in New York.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
