Stephen was incredibly helpful. We called the store to get information about the alternator on our 2000 Avalon. We went to the store and he tested it to determine whether we indeed had an alternator or starter issue. Nope. He gave us instructions and tools we needed to clean the terminals. Even came back out of the store to inspect the work my husband was doing and pointed out where it could be improved. Excellent experience.

Will was extremely helpful and took the effort to make sure that I got not only what I needed, but also to make sure I understood how touse it to fix what I needed. He did this while taking the time to help other people. Very impressed and thankful

I told a worker here that my AC was blowing hot and he insisted on a specific r134a refrigerant and gauge, and instructed me how to recharge the refrigerant. What I did not know at the time is that this refrigerant contains sealant, and now every mechanic refuses to service my car's AC because sealant gunks it up and ruins things. Advance Auto Parts seriously screwed me over.

The general manager here is amazing! He helped me replace the back right blinker light on my 2017 Kia Forte, which was difficult for my boyfriend and I to get to. We really appreciate his willingness to help!

Came in with a check engine code right before leaving for a camping trip. The GM, Steven, who was knowledgeable on the issue was on break so I went to wait in the car till he was done. Little did I know while I was talking about the issue to my girlfriend he was in the car next to me on his break. Steven immediately started to help me out, although I said he did not need to come off break early. I was on the road quickly after. This is just one of the multiple examples I’ve been treated with above and beyond customer care here, and they also will often tell you NOT to buy one of their products if there’s a cheaper way to get the job done.

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.
