I had an outstanding experience at the Advance Auto Parts store on Duval in Lake City, Florida yesterday! I came in to have my battery checked, and Adam was incredibly professional, friendly, and informative. He used a battery tester to show me that my battery needed replacement and guided me in choosing the right one for my vehicle.
While I was there, I noticed both Adam and Michael Scott expertly managing a busy influx of customers with politeness and professionalism. I didn’t even realize Michael had stepped outside to replace my Jeep’s battery until he returned to inform me that my battery terminals were substandard, stretched, and held together with shims. He helped me select high-quality replacement terminals and installed them, even tidying up my radio audio cables for a clean, professional finish that ensured electrical safety.
Both Adam and Michael went above and beyond, earning this store a well-deserved five-star review. I highly recommend this location, especially when these two gentlemen are working. Thank you for the exceptional service!

My wife and I came in just looking to get a diagnostic test done because our brake lights had stopped working even after changing the fuse. We figured it would just be a quick check and maybe we’d leave with more questions than answers. But the employee who helped us completely changed that expectation—he honestly went above and beyond anything we imagined.
First, he didn’t just hook up a machine and send us on our way. He actually popped the hood, checked the fuse there, then went down and checked the fuse under the steering wheel. He walked us through what he was doing step by step so we weren’t left in the dark. After a thorough check, he determined it wasn’t the fuses at all—it was a bad brake light switch. Instead of just telling us what part to buy, he fixed it right then and there!
The best part? He didn’t make it feel stressful or technical. He was extremely friendly, very helpful, and honestly hilarious. He kept us laughing the whole time which made the whole experience way more enjoyable than we expected. It’s rare to find someone in this line of work who cares enough to not only solve the problem but also make sure you leave feeling good about the whole experience.
We drove away happy, relieved, and thankful—and it’s safe to say we’ll be back. From here on out, this is officially where we’ll be buying all our parts. If you want a place that’s not only professional but also personable, knowledgeable, and fun, this is it. Huge thank you again for turning what could have been a headache into such a positive experience!

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.
