I called this location to order a water pump that I had under warranty, and they told me they didn't have my number in their system when I already ordered it a few months ago from this exact location (I just didn't pick it up yet). They told me they have a different system than the location I bought the original pump from, and that's why it's not showing up. So now I'm calling the location I first bought the water pump from and they told me they found me in their system, but that it was weird for the Hanover Park location not to show my warranty when they work on the same system. If you don't want to order my part, then just say that instead of playing games.

I recently had my first experience at Advance Auto Parts, and unfortunately, it did not meet my expectations. During my initial visit, I waited for 45 minutes along with several other customers, which created a sense that our presence was an inconvenience to the staff. Despite the long wait, I proceeded to purchase the items I needed.
On my subsequent visit to return an incorrect part, I encountered the acting manager, Bryan. Unfortunately, his demeanor was unprofessional; he was rude and sarcastic, making it feel as though we, the customers, were troublesome. This encounter, coupled with the prior experience, led to a significant dissatisfaction with the level of customer service provided.
Given the challenges I faced, I would advise others to consider alternative options for their automotive needs. The lack of timely assistance and support during returns may result in a frustrating experience. I hope that future patrons may have better experiences, but based on my interactions, I would caution against visiting this establishment. Thank you for considering this feedback.

This is for the Hanover Park location only. I have bought from this location before, however I try to stop going here because the service has been 50/50. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Today 07/04/21 was horrible. I was waiting for someone to help me while the person in front was getting a new battery and the staff were having a seriously hard time determining whether it was a gel or a regular battery. Anyway, that seemed to be an ordeal for another customer. For me when helped, I just asked for a distributor cap and rotor. I was then asked "Brake rotor?". No distributor cap and rotor. "A hubcap?" No. Staff finally got around to understanding me, and then was told I have to special order that. Not a big deal, I understand. Even though website was able to order and pick up. I then just asked if any stores in area had them. Couldn't really understand the first city, or something I have not heard of in my area, but understood Palatine. I asked which street the store in Palatine is, and was told, "You can just google it." Okee doke then... Last time I ever go to this store. Plus on top of it, now that I am leaving a negative review, the parking lot to this store is the worst parking lot ever. If you have a nice car, be careful maneuvering your way around this lot. Left two stars for this store instead of one only because I have had good experiences in the past. Telling me to google a store when he had it up on the screen is ridiculous. Obviously sometimes you may get knowledgeable staff, but sometimes you will end up getting a hubcap instead of a distributor cap.

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.
