Alan was incredibly helpful helping me find the right parts, offering advice based on customer feedback and his experience. I might have saved money going elsewhere, but I would have missed out on the expertise that saves me money in the long run. I will make a point to go to this store for future needs.

The sales persons at the night shift are very unprofessional.
Lately I went to buy an oxygen sensor and when I got home I found that it was installed before as the plastic wrap was ripped open and there is black dirt on the wires, I went to replace it and the person I was talking to tried to convince me its ok and I can use ( your store policy is not to return electronic parts after selling it because you don't guarantee it will be working, so why he sold me a sensor that was used before in first place!) And he tried to make it difficult for me to get another one and after a half hour argument he finally gave me a receipt to pick it up from a different store.
And today I went there to replace my headlight bulb under the warranty, the guy literally gave me the bulbs in my hands without the package which I never see anyone in any of advance auto parts store do before.

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.
