I recently purchased a triple square set from this store and asked Tony Aguilar if they had any smaller options, since I really only needed one bit and not the 8 piece set. He didn’t really look up from his computer and told me that what was on display was all they had.
I ended up buying the set for $60, but later realized the bits were too long to fit the tight space I needed them for. When I came back to return it, the interaction was frustrating. Tony made several comments about the packaging being open, seemed visibly annoyed, and at one point tossed my receipt across the counter.
Overall, it felt like a very unprofessional way to handle a simple return, and there wasn’t much effort to help find a solution. Because of this experience, I’ll likely just order the part I need off Amazon and avoid advance auto in the future.

I went into the store at 8:30 needing a battery and the two guys working were happy to help! One put in the battery and only took 20 minutes. I was nervous they wouldn’t be able to help due to the time but they were very nice!

Juan is the best guy there is! Helped me diagnosis an issue and changed the part himself in the snow. Couldn’t recommend him more

I have nothing but good things to say about Advanced Auto Parts in St Charles. Ive never had anything less than a good experience here. Last night I went in for a tail light and one of the employees (David) offered to replace it for me while I was there. As we were walking out to my car, I dropped my cash on the ground and had zero clue😩 David found it, picked it up and handed it right back to me. He fixed my tail light and was very polite and professional. Thank you David ans Advanced Auto Parts for always exceeding my expectations 🙌🏼

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.
