Paid for a battery on the website to pick up in store. The website clearly says free installation. Get there and they tell me free installation is only for things paid for in the store because things paid for on the website don't count as their sales. Could have done the dumb return and repay game but why bother. Installed it myself. Just lazy.

Roadside service declared my battery "dead and gone" , got my car started, told me to drive directly to shop and get a new battery. DON'T TURN YOUR CAR OFF. Walmart was close so I got in line for service... Sorry 3-4 hour wait. I couldn't do that so I left. First place I came to was this Advanced Auto Parts. LUCKY FOR ME. INSTANT, FRIENDLY, EFFICIENT SERVICE. Reasonable price for new Die Hard Battery and free installation. THANK YOU!!!!!

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.
