- JMJennifer MatthiasNov 6, 20254.0The parking lot was very clean giving a good first impression. The store inside was nice & clean too. It's not crowded with stuff, thankfully, so there's plenty of room to walk the isles to find what you need. It sucks walking into a store & feeling claustrophobic bcuz they've got ALL their over-stock on the sales floor so there's barely any room to turn around inside. This place fortunately wasn't like that. The employees were dressed appropriately in their store uniforms appearing clean & well kept. They were also nice enough, pleasant customer service skills. The only sorta negative thing I can bring up is their lack of mechanical knowledge. As with most auto parts stores these days, you don't need any mechanical knowledge to get hired since you can look everything up on the computer now. That's sometimes frustrating for customers looking for something inparticular but the employee isn't able to help it keeps offering the wrong tools &/or parts bcuz they don't have the mechanical knowledge needed to understand what the customer actually needs. But, that's not just at Advance Auto it happens, it's ALL auto parts stores that it can be an issue. Other than that, it's a good place to find what you need most the time. I still give this store 2 things up👍👍
- FDFlorida Dave (Florida Dave)Aug 28, 20255.0Very friendly and helpful.
- KKKevinJul 24, 20252.0If you want junk parts. And don't mind dealing with an independent store that has a poor return policy. This store is for you. I won't ever darken their doorway again.

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.
