I ordered a room on line. Got the email saying it was ready for pickup, drove the 20 miles to the store, was told there was a piece missing, would have another one in about 2 hours. This is not the first time I have had issues with this store. I have avoided going there at all if I can help it. The staff is not as knowledgeable as they try to seem. I went to get a battery for my truck, the guy said oh this is the battery you need, looked at the battery and it was opposite of what I needed. Luckily I noticed before I bought it. Their computer system is going down all the time and they say we'll you can pay cash. I don't carry cash and how can you pay cash if the computer doesn't ring anything up. This store and the people that work there are terrible. Will never go back again. I'll go to O'Reilly, they always get my orders right.

As a professional diesel mechanic with over 30 years of experience in my trade I have never in my entire professional career run across a more unprofessional bunch of individuals and I did this Sunday 09/31/2025
The man behind the counter was rude, misogynistic, and tried to sell my wife, a whole bunch of stuff that she did not need. This kind of opportunistic behavior towards women is both degrading and misogynistic. She went across the street to O’Reillys. The woman behind the counter was courteous, neat well kept, and professional. She didn’t try to sell my wife anything extra. Or call her a stupid woman like the man at Advanced Auto Parts. From this point on my corporation will no longer be doing business with advanced auto parts, And the $150,000 a year I spend in parts I will take elsewhere. Remember, just because it’s a woman in front of you doesn’t mean she she’s ignorant. This time she had the entire experience knowledge and support of a team of mechanics behind her and you still tried to rip her off!!!

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.
