Today I stopped by Advanced Auto Parts needing a new battery, and Frankie absolutely made the experience outstanding. He was incredibly helpful from the moment I walked in—patiently checked my old battery, confirmed exactly what I needed, and even installed the new one for me right there in the parking lot.
Frankie is amazing: super knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cares about getting things right for the customer. No upselling pressure, just honest advice and great service.
Thanks to him, everything went smoothly and quickly. I’ll definitely be back for all my auto needs in the future—highly recommend this location and specifically ask for Frankie if you can!
Thank you, Frankie—you’re the best!

I recently visited Advanced Auto Parts to Purchase a can of MAAS Air Flow Sensor cleaner. My Engine warning light cam on a couple days earlier and I diagnosed the problem to be a dirty Air Flow Sensor, or the 02 senser. Since I don't mind working on car engines, I traveled to the store to find the product I was looking for and made my purchase. This store does offer Military Discounts and I had a great conversation with one of the employees which I discovered was in Germany around the same time I was back in the mlate 70's to early 80's. And both of us had been to Berlin. At any rate, following my purchase, I downloaded the instructions on how to remove and clean the air flow sensor. Much to my surprize, it wasn't as dirty as I imagined it might be and it did not extinguish the Engine warning light following reinstallation. So the only other option I had was to order an 02 sensor. I obtained that from Amazon.com, and will be returning to Advanced Auto Parts to rent a specialized 7/8-inch (22mm) deep-well sockets featuring a side cutout or "wire gate" to fit over the wiring harness so as to not damage the harness. This wrench is needed to both remove the old sensor and install the new one. I will also be purchasing a can of WD-40 to spray on the old sensor prior to removal, as I have discovered the sensors have a tendencey to get rusted over time and spraying WD-40 on the threads and allowing it to soak for at least an hour should allow an easier extraction. If it doesn't, I have a propane torch I can always use to pre-heat the sensor threads to help break it loose. Advanced Auto Parts have a $0 rental fee to rent the kit with a $49.99 refundable despoit as long as it is returned within 45 days, or you can purchase just the socket for around $18.49. However unless you plan on doing this work without the kit, you will need to make sure you have a breaker bar handle to attach to the socket as you will have to apply some force to break it free. I just happen to have a 24" breaker bar I purchased many years ago when I first started working on car engines. At any rate, since the rental is a zero dollar fee I would much sooner rent the kit and pay the deposit since it will cost me nothing to use it and I probably won't have a need to use that tupe of socket again in the future. I will need the 3-1/8-inch deep socket with cut out since there is a shroud that runs over the top of the exhaust manifold that I will need to navigate around for removal of the sensor. I've been to this store in the past to purchase Concrete Oil degreaser to remove oil stains frrom my pavers and also a new battery and other minore accessories shuch as brake lights and turn signal lights for my vehicle. I highly recommend visting this store if you are in need of auto supplies. The staff is very friendly and they will help you find the product you need if you aren't able to find it walkng aroud the store.

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.
