Benjamin was the best! He helped me with a battery terminal issue that I was having. He was able to order the part I needed the same day and helped me coordinate its installation. Amazing customer service. They helped get my car back started so I can make it home and back. Very impressed by the level of customer service received, treated me like family.

I had an amazing experience at Advance Auto Parts thanks to Benjamin, the store manager. He went above and beyond to help me when my car battery died. Not only did he assist in selecting the right replacement, but he also personally installed the new battery quickly and efficiently—something I didn’t expect at all!
His professionalism, kindness, and genuine willingness to help really stood out. In a world where great customer service is becoming rare, Benjamin reminded me that it still exists. Huge thanks to him for turning a stressful situation into a smooth, positive experience. Highly recommend this location—especially if Benjamin is there!

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.
