- BTBanca ThomasFeb 12, 20261.0I stopped by today. It’s been a very long time since I visited an advanced auto store. I have to say this was one of my worst experiences ever I probably would never go into an advance. I felt not only not seen. The staff made me feel like they didn’t even care. I literally came in to buy power steering fluid. There was a gentleman in front of me at the counter getting helped . There was another man in the back and it looked like he was messing with a computer but also putting up items-in the back, the gentleman upfront that was helping the Customer He asked the man in the back to come up and help me after waiting about five minutes it’s only me and the guy in front of me in the storeafter I politely excuse myself and asked if someone could check me out because I have to get back to work the The manager, I’m assuming He was because the guy in the back When he answered he said OK boss, I’m looking directly at him. He’s just sitting there On the computer, totally ignoring the fact that he just called him up to help the Customer after watching him for about three minute i just put my bottle down on the counter and I walked out. I felt like they were Judging me off of the color of my skin, I am a counselor I was professional Dressed I hate to throw that out, but that’s how they made me feel like servicing me was not accepted, so I politely put the bottle down and I walked out just in case you guys would like to look at footage it was about 1:45 PM- 2 pm 2/12/26 that was the worst service I ever had I feel like if I was to ever stepped into an advance, I will get Lynched

- SSScott SmithJan 27, 20265.0Advance Auto always has the lower prices! Download the app and you will receive $5-10 dollars off coupons almost every visit. What's neat is if you have a few $5off or $10off coupons on the app you can now combine them!
- TTTawandaDec 7, 20255.0Super happy and thankful that I went here today to get an engine code reading! Cordell gave me a great product recommendation to help me improve my exhaust and fuel system that I'm looking forward to trying out. I would have never known this product existed and may help me if it wasn't for him. Thanks again and thanks Advanced Auto for the free engine reading. Update:: So far my check engine light has been off for two days after using the product and my vehicle is driving great 😃👍
- NNNikillasOct 24, 20255.0Come see come see Willy !!!. He’s great at his job and help me out with my 2021 Nissan Altima.

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.
