I have bad experience with that location; the old man guy was not friendly at all. Whenever I visited, he seemed to scowl at every customer who walked through the door. It made the atmosphere uncomfortable and unwelcoming, which was a shame because the place had potential. I tried to give it another chance, but his attitude never changed, and I ultimately decided it wasn’t worth the hassle. Now, I prefer to spend my time at establishments where the staff actually enjoy serving their patrons.

Jeremiah helped me replace my battery today, which turned out to be a chore due to some warped/old parts. With every annoying obstacle that popped up during the process, he was gracious, persistent and patient. He didn’t give up and made sure I drove out of the lot with my new battery. His customer service was kind, thorough and attentive. Give this man a raise!
I greatly appreciate your help today, Jeremiah.

I had a great experience at this Advance Auto location on Colfax. The team was friendly, patient, and really knew their stuff. They helped me quickly find the right parts for my car, and even offered to test my battery for free. The store was clean, organized, and well-stocked — it made finding what I needed super easy.
You can tell the staff genuinely care about helping customers instead of just making a sale. Definitely my go-to auto parts store in Denver now. Highly recommend!

The service here was amazing. I went in for a battery test and was told that I needed a new battery. Jeremiah and who I assume was the manager were extremely eager and willing to replace my battery and get me back in the road. Will be coming here for all of my automotive needs!

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.
