Never have the parts I need to be a part house never have what we need in stock every time I go to the wrong store it seems like if I go to Santa Rosa Beach store they don’t have what I need then I gotta go to Destin. I go to the Destin store then I gotta they don’t have what I need Then I gotta go to the other store. Makes no sense while they don’t have stuff in stock we’ll go to O’Reillys from now on. They are just lucky. They don’t have an O’Reillys in Santa Rosa Beach yet.

I came here to say that they helped me no questions asked did not make me feel stupid in anyway. I came in because I was having trouble finding the right fuse for my horn. I had bought a couple different types of fuses at advance auto parts in the past Although they didn’t even ask where I bought them from they just immediately helped me put the right fuse in at no cost and wish me a good day. That treatment has created a loyal customer! Well done.

Went to go home on the last day of vacation and our battery died. They got us fixed up and back on the road in under 30 minutes! Didn’t grab the man’s name but he had a black ponytail, thank you! Manager was also awesome and helped us troubleshoot another issue.

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.
