- BHBill Honestly4 days ago1.0I'm done, the service has went down and for the second time they gave me the wrong part causing me a headache having to get a ride back to the store to get the correct part...... O'Reilly's from now on
- JLJamie LuisiOct 23, 20251.0My son just went there because his Jetta was overheating. He asked for the European Prestone (pink) and they gave him "all vehicle" saying that's what he's supposed to use. Thankfully, he only topped his reservoir off but he'll still need to get a flush, I imagine. They should have known this!! You can't mix coolants. Good Lord.

- GFGus FrancesJul 11, 20251.0This location is absolutely the worst advance auto parts store I have ever visited. Customer service sucks. They can’t look up your purchase history with your name and or phone number.. If this is an independent store Or not. corporate needs to come in and fix this location. It’s making advance auto parts in general look like shit. Now I know why the store is always empty.. And please!!! Stop blaming corporate for the store not doing what needs to be done. It’s the staffs responsibility to satisfy the customers not corporates Maybe corporate does need to come in and show the store management how to treat their customers
- DDDeborahDec 27, 20231.0I went to the store to purchase replacement parts for my vehicle. They showed no interest in helping me! Definitely not the customer service that I would have expected. I felt like I was putting him out when asking for help. So disappointing. I left and went to AUTO ZONE ... THEY WENT ALL OUT TO HELP ME. Will not return or recommend them at all.

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.
