No, Advance Auto Parts does not give cash for old batteries, but they do provide an Advance Auto Parts gift card in exchange for returned core batteries.
When you bring an unwanted automobile or light truck battery to a participating Advance Auto Parts store, you can receive a gift card that can be used for future purchases. This initiative is part of their battery recycling program, encouraging customers to responsibly dispose of old batteries.
How the Battery Core Return Program Works
Advance Auto Parts facilitates the recycling of used vehicle batteries by offering an incentive for their return. This process is straightforward and designed to be convenient for customers.
- Bring Your Battery: Take your old, unwanted automobile or light truck battery to your nearest Advance Auto Parts store.
- Receive a Gift Card: For each core battery returned, you will receive an Advance Auto Parts gift card.
What You Receive
Instead of direct cash, the compensation for your old battery comes in the form of store credit.
- Gift Card Value: The gift card provided is worth up to $10 per returned battery.
- Usage: This gift card can be utilized for purchases both in-store and online at Advance Auto Parts.
