- VSVernon ShurleyOct 20, 20252.0I went to the Advanced Auto Parts on Kathleen Road looking for a tail light for my car. They had different grades of bulbs with different prices. I got one and took it to the counter to pay for it. The man rang it up and it was about twice the price that I thought it was. I had picked up a more expensive bulb than the row that I thought was the price. I told the man that I wanted the less expensive one and he went to help me look. They didn’t have the cheaper one so I told him I would look across the road at a different Auto supply store. As I was leaving he said that I had wasted his time. He had also charged me for a “warranty “ he said on the other light bulb that I told him I didn’t want. I will not do business at this store again.
- KMKatia MesaOct 6, 20255.0They helped me a lot. They didn't have the product I was looking for in one of the stores I visited that day, so they called another one and saved what I was looking for. Definitely recommended.

- NGNoah GeraciJul 11, 20251.0Went there, two girls working one of them literally said "I don't know anything about cars" the other one couldn't even hook up an alternator to test it.

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.
