- JBjames bloodworthNov 3, 20251.0If you are going to close early, you should really update your sign, and the online parts ordering where prepaid and said to pick up at 8:15! 🤬
- CCCJay (Cj)Oct 20, 20255.0Online orders are a breeze at Advanced Auto
- CBCharles BryantSep 5, 20251.0Terrible customer service! I went in on Friday august 29th around 6 pm. Looked around the store for an item and couldnt find it. 2 employees in the store (no other customers) after awhile I asked one of them for help. I got an Attitude and a finger point across the store "over there somwhere" he says. (He didnt want to be bothered with a customers needs.) I said "thanks for nothing" and walked out. Unacceptable treatment for a paying customer.
- DGDavid G.May 31, 20253.0Wish their inventory was correct I had to run around to 3 locations to pick up 6 spark plugs, first ordered from Manchester road location because it had 6 got there to pick them up only 4 on site. Went to veterans to pick up 2 but they only had one, then I had to run to miller/milgen to pick up the 6th one. 24 miles to pick up 6 plugs.

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.
