- TGTommie GloverFeb 16, 20265.0Great fast customer service
- SBSally BJan 24, 20262.0Do not go there if you expect your parts to be there when the sstore employees tell you that it's going to be in. When someone tells me that my part will be there the very next morning first thing I expected to be there. I could have went to another part store which I know now I should have. So now I'm going to go another day without my ride thanks have advance Auto. Y'all also should stock your store . You can't make a sale if don't order the products.
- DBDaniel BurnhamJan 16, 20261.0Guy did not know how to install the battery. And another worker was very sick and whining and complaining. Went somewhere else with the new battery. Found out it was the wrong size. Went to Express Oil. They put one in for me, but I did have to pay. Returned the other new one back.
- MSMark SuterDec 8, 20255.0Order was ready in the time mentioned exact fit for my vehicle was a great fit at an affordable price and order was ready when I arrived everyone was kind and courteous.
- MCMark CulpepperOct 7, 20255.0My daughter was having battery issues with her car. I called the store and spoke with Alex. He was very nice and said to have her come by and he would take a look. When she arrived Alex assessed the issue quickly and retightened the loose battery cable for her. As a parent it’s comforting to know that there are still businesses and people that provide top notch service. I will continue to take my business to Advance Auto.

HOW DO BRAKES WORK?
Expand FAQ item
Brakes work by using friction to turn kinetic energy into heat. There are two designs: drum brakes (older), and disc brakes (newer). Both use hydraulic pressure to move a piston outward. In disc brakes, the piston is located inside a caliper that houses brake pads and fits over the rotor. The friction lining on the pads makes contact with the rotor to slow the vehicle. In drum brakes, the piston moves two curved shoes lined with friction material against the inside of the brake drum.
