- SJS. JohnsDec 9, 20255.0Nice crew
- OWOrly WaanounouDec 5, 20252.0Very condescending manager. Unhelpful and mocking tone of voice.
- JCJames ColeDec 3, 20251.0Manager has a horrible attitude and instead of admitting he’s wrong would rather go back and forth with a customer. You’re job as a store manager is to make sure your inventory counts are done correctly so that when items are ordered online they are in store and not wasting peoples time. For a mechanic time is money and if I drive 30mins away because your store says you have it and in reality you don’t your costing me money. Then to argue with me because I showed up in 27min is wild.
- NSNathan SkinnerSep 30, 20251.0I did not shop at this Advance, but this review is for Advance as a company. I purchased an OBD2 scanner from my local Advance and tried to return it only 30 minutes later as it did not have the functionality that I required. They refused as their return policy does not allow returns on electronic items. I spoke with the customer service line and they man actually told me to try returning it at different Advance's to see if it would work instead of just helping me. I feel scammed by this company and trapped in a corporate quagmire. Advance Auto Part is a slimy company with questionable business practices. They are shady at best.

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.
