- NSNathan SkinnerSep 30, 20251.0I had a horrible experience dealing with Advance Auto Parts. I came here yesterday to purchase an OBD2 scanner with live data reading, which they keep behind the counter. It was $70 which is a bit steep, but I wanted it then and there so didn't mind paying extra. I didn't get a chance to inspect the box because it was kept behind the counter, so upon returning home I looked and saw that the OBD2 scanner I had purchased did not feature live scanning. I promptly returned about half an hour after purchasing the scanner, and the man there informed me that he could not approve a return without a manager present. He told me to come back the next day, today, when the manger would be there, and I could return it. This morning, I came back to return the item, and the manager told me that I could not return it because they didn't do returns on "those". I informed him why I was returning it, that it didn't do what I thought it did, that it hadn't been used, what the man the previous day had told me, but he refused to return it due to "company policy". Ok, I said, so I left and phoned Advance's customer service line. The man on the phone told me that they didn't do returns on electronic items. I told him all that had happened, and he actually suggested that I try to go to another Advance Auto Parts to return it because he couldn't do anything. He told me that it was my fault for not looking at the box before purchasing it, which I couldn't really do given that they keep them behind the counter. I can't believe he would actually suggest that I try to go return it at a different Advance after telling me that there's nothing he could do and about the company's slimy return policy. I feel scammed by this company and I will never be giving them my business again. Do yourself a favor and go to a privately owned company or just get your stuff on the internet instead of this shady company. What does a giant corporation like Advance Auto Parts gain by treating me this way and practically stealing my money?

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.
