I bought a platinum battery in 2024 and today it went bad and they refused to replace it because they put it in the computer as a group 65 instead of 35 and tried to say they wouldn’t sell that battery because it was 2 years old so now I’m out $260 for a battery, next time I know to go to autozone

I had to replace a battery today and so I stopped by Advance to get that taken care of. The business was busy when I got there and only a couple of people working. Tammy was able to help me and didn't amazing job helping pick the battery and helping me get it in my car. Even though she was stressed because they were busy and short-staffed it seemed, she took excellent care of me. I will be going back to this location anytime I need parts.

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.
