## Description

Advance Auto Parts® and Carquest® Professional customers can scan directly from a vehicle’s barcode (windshield or door mounted), search for parts, and order directly from the app using their secure Advance Professional account.

The decoded VIN information will appear on their account’s "Previous Vehicles" list and be available to use for:
- Capturing a vehicle’s detailed information, including year, make, model, and engine
- Launching AdvancePro to find parts for scanned vehicles right from the app
- Store recent vehicles scanned within the app itself
- Upload the scanned data into your Advance Professional online account
- Get fast, one-click access to your assigned Professional Parts Pro

To look up parts or upload scanned vehicles to your Advance Professional account, you must be an active professional customer. Contact your nearest Advance Auto Parts® store or visit my.advancepro.com for information on starting a professional customer account or obtaining your online credentials.

For support questions on the mobile Advance Professional app, contact Customer Service at 1-877-280-5965 during normal business hours.

## Review summary

The app shows promise with VIN decoding and on-the-go part lookup, plus quick delivery and tire data, which can save time for busy shops. However, widespread login problems, a requirement for commercial accounts, unreliable VIN scanning, and limitations like no in-app ordering or year/make/model search undermine usability for non-commercial users.

### Pros

- VIN decoding/scanning is easy and useful for identifying vehicles.
- Ability to order parts from the app and get quick delivery.
- On-site use saves time by enabling ordering while working at a customer's car.
- Access to tire sizes and air pressure data.
- Overall, a resourceful tool for shops with limited staff.

### Cons

- Login/account access issues: users can’t sign up or sign in consistently.
- App appears to require a commercial/pro account and isn’t usable for typical customers.
- VIN scanning reliability problems: camera orientation issues, rotation lock needed, and read failures on many vehicles.
