Terrible service, the assistant behind the counter had to clue what they were doing. You all have to train people or learn to fire people who don't care.

No manager on-site. Unhelpful staff more concerned about being on a personal call. Having an issue and was told to go to another store to handle my issue or answer my questions. Thanks Advance Auto Parts!

Employee at front was on her phone and never looked up from it. Needed a battery tested but apparently that would have interrupted her texting as she let me know they couldn't do that.
Went to a different store where my experience was the complete opposite of this one. I will never step into this store again even though it is closer.

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.
