Jeff & James were so helpful! I came in with a dead battery, and they ran the free diagnostic for me. When it turned out I needed a new battery, they went above and beyond to get me what I needed and then replaced the battery for me ! Would recommend!

The Fort Collins location just off Mulberry is very convenient for our business, but Jeff W. goes above and beyond to insure we have the correct product at the best price. We recently purchased a Jack and Jack Stands and Jeff personally delivered them to our shop and made sure we had everything we needed for the job. The personal care that Jeff has for his customers is rare in today's business world...but it is VERY appreciated. More Advanced Auto Parts locations should have a manager like him, Thank You.

My elderly father-in-law had some issues with his car starting and though we got the car jumpstarted, we were worried about needing a new battery. I went with him to help get things checked out.
I felt a little out of my element, but instantly felt more comfortable once Dan was helping us. He was so kind, honest and patient with us. He was able to check our battery and let us know how things were looking. We ended up not needing a new battery, but when we do I would definitely head back to purchase here.
These days, it is rare to find honesty. I wouldn't hesitate to return again. Thank you so much Dan! Excellent experience 100 percent recommend!!!!

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.
