- BBBraxtonDec 3, 20251.0Congratulations John!! You and the manager have officially ran me off from advanced auto parts. I bought a almost $300 alternator, it went bad (pulley bearing) and in the process contaminated my acc belt. When returning the alt John made several comments some of the highlights include "it's not even making any noise" (as if I'm lying about it?), "You can't warranty it anymore since it's been returned" (in the future). This man was very happy to hear his company's part failed. The manager then lied to my face saying I don't have a serpentine belt on my account. So after going outside to confirm I did infact have a belt under warranty I came back inside to show them. Once again John said okay 30 minutes later, I'm done with installing the replacement alternator my last step is to install the belt. It's still not ready and I watch John for 3 mins click back and forth accomplishing nothing. I told him nevermind that I've been there too long. Upon starting my car i realized I damaged a connector to my ac causing the clutch to SCREAM, well ole John was walking out at that time and had to make a negative comment. To digress, I'll never return to this store and that's for my own good. It's absolutely disgusting and advanced auto should be ashamed. If the employees are a reflection of a business, what does that say about your company? My visit was on December 2nd during the morning to noon time.

- THTaylor HillOct 23, 20211.0Probably the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. Walked in and asked for an O2 sensor plug and they seemed like I was bothering them for the help. Will not be back.
- DTDawn TerryAug 4, 20191.0Very slow & seemed very unconcerned. Purchased a bad battery 1 year ago from there & they didn't tighten battery cables. Did give me a $179 refund for the bad battery 1 year later.

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.
