Advance Auto Parts opens Lehigh store

Advance Auto Parts, Inc., a leading automotive aftermarket retailer of parts, batteries, accessories and maintenance items, opened its third store in Lehigh Acres at 5640 8th Street.

Company officials said they chose this location for the store because it's convenient to where our customers live and shop as well as the garages where they take their vehicles for repair.

Rhea Hamzy is the new store's manager and works with ten other Team Members there. A 20-year veteran of the automotive and retail sales industries, Ms. Hamzy has been with the Advance Auto Parts team for five years.

The new store offers customers a wide range of parts and recognized national brands as well as several free services. Store Team Members will install windshield wipers for free, and also install batteries following a complimentary check of the vehicle's electrical system and old battery. The store offers fast parts delivery to local commercial customers, such as professional mechanics and garages. Customers also can drop off used motor oil and batteries for recycling - ensuring that these materials don't end up in landfills where they could harm the environment.

The store is open Monday through Saturday from 7:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. and on Sunday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Other area stores include locations at 403 Sunshine Boulevard and 75 Joel Boulevard.
