Advance Auto Parts this week opened a new store in North Augusta at 417 E. Martintown Road.
The company celebrated the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local officials and representatives from Augusta Technical College, which received a donation to support its automotive technology program, according to a news release. The funding will help students cover the cost of parts and tools while gaining hands-on training and preparing for careers as automotive technicians.
Company officials said the investment supports workforce development at a time when skilled technicians remain in high demand.
The new location is Advance Auto Parts' fourth store in North Augusta.
It serves as a market hub, a centralized facility designed to improve parts availability and same-day fulfillment for repair shops and other customers in the region.
The opening is part of Advance Auto Parts' broader 2026 expansion plan, which includes 40 to 45 new stores and 10 to 15 market hubs nationwide, noted the news release.
