Loving being told “everyone else in here is more important, you can wait around if you want.” It was a perfect way of telling me the state of the store and to never do business here again. 13 years I’ve been coming here and this year it ends.

Very unfriendly my battery died trust yes it was snowing and the wind was blowing hard but they they refused me service and was very ugly about it. I went to auto zone they did it no questions or excuses. This is why I never use advanced auto they either treat me like I don’t know what I’m talking about or refuse to do there job. Will never spend my money there. Absolutely horrible service this is the Cullman Al store I’ve never had a positive experience with them

It is nice to be able to get your battery and alternator checked out and things like that, but I have to knock off some stars because every time I search for something on their site, it is ALWAYS OUT OF STOCK in CULLMAN and then I shop somewhere else.

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.
