- BBbrandon2011ssNov 16, 20255.0Miss/Mrs Fina Santiago, is AWESOME❤️!! So not long ago, my wife and I bought a 2002 Yukon XL. Shortly thereafter the battery died. I bought a new replacement with a price that I could afford. Last week the battery light came on and sure enough, the alternator was bad. So I went to another advanced auto parts location, they had an alternator. It was overcharging the battery, and blew the caps off. They were very nice changed the battery under warranty. Sent me to West Broad Street for an alternator. Little did I know that was about to meet the most wonderful woman in auto parts! I explained to her what was going on and what had happened. Gave her the vehicle info, she went thru some features. I had to remove the alternator at the store. She tested it and it failed, so my new alternator was bad. She went all the way across town and brought me a new one, it tested good-3 times. After going through the features, of my vehicle, we learned that I had to small of a battery. She searched across her computer and the web looking at the specs and everything for my Yukon, to make sure that I would have no problems when I left. She got me the correct size battery and a new alternator. I spent my Sunday afternoon with this young lady. Due to her kindness, patience, willingness to help me, I now have a new favorite parts lady! Fina, bent over backwards and went way out of her way to get me straightened out!!! ❤️

- LLLauren LaughyAug 28, 20251.0It’s 11:21am. It says the store is open according to their sign and on the hours listed on google. Tried calling, no answer. Be nice to just put a sign on the door whether you are working alone and using the bathroom or closed due to unforeseen circumstances. Needed the help.

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.
