- BBBill BeasonSep 26, 20251.0Horrible customer service. Had a hurt back. Line was moving very slow. I squatted to relieve pain and got quizzed down. Should not have been questioned about anything. Common sense would have told them I was trying to deal with slow line and pain. On another visit I returned a mower battery that I wasn’t sure would fit my mower because when I purchased it I voiced my reservation about the size and was assured I could return it if it didn’t fit. I returned it three weeks later and got told “ 3 weeks is a long time to see if it fit”. Without going into specifics, I had personal family issues that took priority over a battery that won’t fit. But I shouldn’t be defending how long it took me to get back there because of said issues as a customer. Please train your staff to be sensitive of customer issues, don’t make comments disparaging a customer for the length of time on a return if that was not stated at purchase .
- BABonnie Collins Photography & Driftwood ArtistryJun 25, 20255.0I had my doubts because there wasn't good information online about the cap I needed but the man put me to complete ease once I was in the store. Very thankful people still care!
- BWBob WJun 13, 20254.0Had purchased a battery for my truck. After a few starts it didn’t work. Took it back and they checked the battery and gave me a new one. Good stuff. Truck is running great so far.
- ACAndrea CruzJul 11, 20235.0Went to 4 different auto part stores to get my battery replaced and none of them could do it. Advance did it quick and easy no problem. Thank you!
- MFmarian fischerNov 23, 20214.0I really only went to do a refund for my Bf who bought something he didn't need. But I do like looking around also, neat stuff for other purposes, bought me some mini reflectors for my 3 wheel bike. Staff very nice too!

The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
