- DJDesmond JonesDec 30, 20255.0I had an outstanding experience at this Advanced Auto Parts location! The customer service was exceptional. Both Leart and John Paul went above and beyond to help me find the exact right parts for my car. They even assisted me with diagnosing and checking my check engine light on another vehicle, making the entire process smooth and hassle-free. I truly appreciate how knowledgeable and friendly the team is. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers. I highly recommend this location to everyone in need of auto parts and expert advice.
- BBBrian BartholomewDec 30, 20255.0We had a car battery die on a bitterly cold day and this was the closest auto parts store. We got lucky that it was as Isaac was the gentleman to help me out that night. It was just prior to closing but Isaac was really friendly and helped to find the best battery for my car without making it feel rushed or pressured. Even though he was not dressed for the weather, he tested the battery to make sure it was the battery and installed the new one quickly, efficiently and professionally. I can not say enough good things about the service that Isaac provided. As someone who manages people and customer experiences, I recognize the level of service I received and I applaud Isaac and the team for making this a great experience. Thank you!
- ALAngela LunsfordDec 24, 20255.0The folks at Advance Auto Parts have been very good to us. They are always helpful. They even come out to your car and run the codes to help diagnose the problem. They will change your wiper blades for you as well as your battery. They go above and beyond the normal auto parts place. They are also in a very convenient location for us. I like knowing they are there in times of need. You want them around when your car breaks down for sure. I highly recommend you give them a try.

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.
