No, Advance Auto Parts does not offer oil change services at their stores. They are a retail auto parts store, not an auto repair or service center. While they sell everything you need for an oil change—like motor oil, oil filters, drain pans, and tools—they don’t perform mechanical services, including oil changes, tire rotations, or brake repairs.

- Battery testing and installation (on most vehicles).
- Check Engine Light (OBD-II) scans to read error codes.
- Wiper blade installation when you purchase them at the store.

Where Can You Get an Oil Change?
