I came by Advanced Auto Parts and they claimed their reading machine was "broken" when they were just reading cars not long before I arrived. I believe they were lying because it was cold outside.

Went twice to have my battery checked, but they couldn't do it because there was only one person working.

The associate Ken is amazing!! He helped turn a bad experience completely around the manager on duty was extremely dismissive and was very clearly annoyed when I asked her for help. I ended up purchasing the wrong items because she was so rude and refused to explain what product would be the correct ones and just said numbers to me. I’ am heading out of town for a funeral and I had already waited a hour for someone to help me. The other gentleman was also very polite and tried to help but he was slammed and had about 5 other people to help. But Ken went above and beyond he helped me find the correct product processed the exchange very quickly to get me on my way. He was so kind and professional. He really did turn it around and I really appreciate his effort.

My husband and I stopped by to replace the battery in my car. While Mike ran the diagnostics in the car, he suggested my newborn and I went into the store. Eddie, the manager, even gave me a chair to sit down in so that we could relax in the AC. Their customer service was exceptional!

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.
