Guy named Eugene was great! Super knowledgeable guy, on the other hand the old manager with white hair and glasses was hateful, rude, and the reason we left immediately. It is unfortunate such individuals get to act in such a manner towards others while holding a powerful position. The manager will make it impossible for you to get assistance so don’t waste your time!

Today I purchased windshield wipers and as given the wrong size. I went back and spoke with “Eugene”. He credited my account and asked me if he could put them on to be sure we h as the right ones. I was shocked and said absolutely. He did a great job and has a great demeanor. I absolutely appreciate his professionalism and caring attitude towards me. Thank you sir!

Stopped in just wanted my battery checked thinking I purchased it here. Turns out I did not purchase it here, but advanced was still willing to check my battery for me and answer all of my questions. Quick and efficient and good service.

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.
