I went to return my battery core this morning. I waited at the counter for over 10 minutes without seeing anyone even working at the store. I called out, no answer. Eventually someone came out after I opened the door 10 times making the chime go off. They wouldn't say a single word to me, just glared at me for disturbing them. I needed wipers as well, but I went to Auto Zone down the road instead, where they value customers instead of treating them like a nuisance

I had an issue with a small part I bought there (Mississippi location) and was just going to buy a new one because I couldn’t find the original receipt. Zepher (I believe was his name) was super helpful, got the small part I needed from the original kit, and got me in and out quickly!

Efrain at Advance Auto was awesome! Super helpful, knowledgeable, and awesome customer service! He needs a raise!
Last time we were here, a female was running the whole store by herself and still handled a long line like a pro (though seriously, she shouldn’t have to do that solo, it’s a busy place!).
This location is one of our favorites, solid people, awesome service.
Pro tip for other reviewers/customers: slow down a bit. It’s not social media, it’s real life, good service takes a minute, and these folks deliver it!

Absolutely the worst Advance Auto Parts store i have been in. I have visited this store a handful of times and received absolutely no assistance, I even went here to pick up a part I ordered online and was there for almost 20 minutes because of lack of assistance. There were only 2 other customers in the store with me that day. Then today 10/13/25 I visited this store because I was in that neighborhood to pick up a tool they had in stock, walked in no greetings, lady at front desk just stood there, I got the tool from the shelf and approached the front to check out and the lady immediately walked away with no words to the back of the store and was back there for some time . So I just left, I talked on the phone with the store manager and he was nothing but excuses. I went to the store off of Quincy and it was 100%totally different types of situation, immediately greeted, immediately helped and taken care of and thanked for coming in and told have a good day.

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.
