I had an excellent experience at Advance Auto Parts and couldn’t be more satisfied with the service. From the moment I walked in, the staff was welcoming, professional, and genuinely eager to help. They were extremely knowledgeable and took the time to ask questions to make sure I got the exact parts I needed, not just a quick sale.
The team went above and beyond by explaining different options, checking compatibility, and even offering helpful tips for installation and maintenance. It’s clear they know their stuff and actually care about helping customers get back on the road safely and confidently.
The store itself was clean, well-organized, and fully stocked, making it easy to find what I was looking for. Pricing was fair and competitive, and the overall experience was smooth and stress-free.
In a world where customer service is often rushed or impersonal, Advance Auto Parts truly stands out. I will absolutely be coming back for future automotive needs and highly recommend this location to anyone looking for reliable parts and outstanding customer service.

I walked into Advanced Auto Parts with one simple mission: buy a tiny battery for my key fob. Easy, right? Wrong. The packaging was apparently designed by Fort Knox engineers. After a brief wrestling match that I was clearly losing, Jessie, the store manager, swooped in with scissors like a hero in an action movie and freed the battery.
Feeling victorious, I strutted out to my car… only for it to promptly refuse to start. Plot twist: the real battery was dead. Jessie didn’t miss a beat—he grabbed his diagnostic tools, confirmed the bad news, and luckily had a replacement in stock. Enter Rick, Jessie’s good-looking trusty sidekick, and together they embarked on a 45-minute battle against what must be the most poorly designed battery setup in automotive history.
Picture this: two guys, armed with tools, humor, and sheer determination, working in cold, drizzly weather while I stood by in awe. It was like watching a buddy comedy unfold in real life. Against all odds, they conquered the beastly battery and got me back on the road.
Their customer service? Top notch. Their perseverance? Legendary. Their teamwork? Worthy of its own Netflix special. If you need auto parts—or just want to witness everyday heroes in action—Advanced Auto Parts is the place to go.
Highly recommend.

In a world where people are quick to complain, it's just as important to praise those who provide outstanding service. A huge thank you to James at the Advance Auto Parts off Taylor Road in Montgomery, AL.
I went into the store feeling frustrated, but James completely turned my experience around. He gave me his full attention, was incredibly patient, and handled my issue with genuine kindness and expertise. I walked in frustrated and left smiling, all thanks to his exceptional customer service.
It’s employees like James who build customer loyalty. I will definitely be returning to this location more often, knowing I'll receive excellent care.

I will never set foot in another advance Auto parts. I called them to tell them that my Mercedes lower itself while I was driving. No one answered the phone. And then when I call back they said a manager would call me I never received that call. I was going to buy the part the leveling sensor and install it. Before I could get anyone on the phone they told my car. I have been shopping there for 20 plus years. I am done. So a part that cost $100 is now going to cost me $350. Never again

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.
