Colin Connors was an absolute boss. Went out of his way and went above and beyond to help me out. Seriously epic customer service. Give that guy a raise and a promotion because he deserves both in spades.

I came in to get some new headlights & the associate that helped me (can’t remember his name) but he was super nice & gave me some latex free gloves so my hands wouldn’t get dirty. I was changing the headlights out front & was struggling to get the old ones out. The general manager Tyler asked if I needed any assistance, & he ended up helping me change them which I really appreciated. God bless yall!

They closed early! Absolutely horrible experience. It makes me never want to shop at a store of this poor quality ever again. Extremely unhelpful and mean employees. All of the other stores in the area were open.

I wanted to take the time to write this review to express my gratitude for one of the employees at this location. While I have had nothing but positive experiences at advance auto, none have been as uniquely pleasant and helpful as those with Chris. I haven’t had my car for very long, but I’m certain that the laundry list of mistakes I have made would be twice as long without his help. He has, numerous times, known exactly how to find what and has even pointed me towards parts I didn’t yet know I needed. Overall this location has been super helpful and has always had what I need in stock.

I came in last night for some help with a code my car threw on my way home from work. Chris was a HUGE help! He took the time to check the car, walk me through reputable mechanics in the area, ease my worries about the code, and provide me with guidance on what my next steps could be. He was so personable and exactly who you want to talk to when you show up with car problems. Thank you, Chris! You made my night.

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.
