I really like to come here,all staft it very friendly and helpful,but this time when I parked and fixed something for my car I saw a lot of homeless people camping behind the building, they argued and fought, it scared me. I think this place is not safe when I come here.

During a couple of recent visits to the Advance Auto parts store on 11591 Gladiolus Dr, I had the pleasure of talking to Carlos, Matt and Julio. They ran multiple tests to check my battery and ended up finding an alternator issue. I was very impressed with the customer service from this trio. They were very knowledgeable, polite, professional, and pleasant and they went above and beyond the call of duty. It was obvious they love what they do. When I spoke with their manager Ryan, he also left a very good impression on me. This has been my go to store for many batteries.

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.
