I’m a woman in my 50s, and I had such a pleasant experience at this Advance Auto Parts store that I felt compelled to leave a review. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by friendly, welcoming staff who were more than happy to help. They were incredibly patient, took the time to listen to my concerns, and explained everything clearly without any pressure or condescension. That alone meant a lot to me.
The store itself was clean, well organized, and fully stocked, which made finding what I needed easy and stress-free. The staff made sure I left feeling confident about my purchase and even offered helpful tips, which I truly appreciated. It’s refreshing to find a place where customer service still matters and where you’re treated with kindness and respect. I would absolutely recommend this location to anyone—especially those who may not be car experts but want honest help and great service. I will definitely be returning!

Tried to get help with my car. Don’t talk to Paul. Horrible.
Got my battery Installed there two days ago. Car stopped working wjen I was picking up my baby from school. We had to uber home with tje car seat.
Called the store and one of the managers was nice to offer help to come next day to jump start the car.
I called next morning to confirm je can still do that
But another store manager Paul gave me attitude and said for me to come to store to buy a jump starter.
How am I supposed to do that.
I am a mom alone with my baby
I would have to uber with my 10 month old to tje store
And jump start the car alone.
He offered no useful help and said have a nice day and hung up.

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.
