- RSRaymond SerraOct 31, 20255.0The staff at the North Haven store are second to none! In a day where the average parts person knows nothing about automotive industry, these guys do.
- CWCheryl WoodmanseeSep 29, 20255.0Unexpectedly had to get a battery and Greg at Advanced Auto Parts was great! Installation was quick and store was clean
- CHCrystal HamerSep 27, 20255.0On Sept. 12, 2025, I stopped at your store for assistance with putting oil in my car. I have a slow leak somewhere and noticed that my car was driving funny. I asked Darien (Dare) if he could show me how to check my oil. He was kind, patient, professional and personable. He not only showed me how to check my oil, he ended up checking it for me and told me exactly how much oil I needed. I appreciate Dare’s kindness and help.
- ESed sagnellaSep 21, 20255.0Prices are great and the crew is awesome.
- ELEric LeightonSep 3, 20251.0This store sucks and the staff don’t help. I had to buy a new alternator for my truck, I told the guy I wanted a new alternator NOT REMANUFACTURED. He had to order a new one for me and I paid extra for the “new one”. I get it after a few days of waiting, just to put it in and it turns out it’s not testing the battery and found out it’s a remanufactured one!! Totally stupid!! I come back to store they told me they can’t do nothing but store credit for half of it. I do not recommend this store!!

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
