I had a bad battery and bought a new one at another store but the guys couldn't figure out how to install it. I jumped my car and headed up the road, called advance and the manager came out and spent around 45 minutes installing the battery. He went way over and beyond to help, and this will be my go to auto parts store from now on. Very much appreciate the help. 5.5 stars

My husband was having trouble with his jeep starting, so we went on to have our battery checked and it was bad. The store manager, Johnny, helped us with the battery check, finding a new battery, and even installed the new battery for us with no charge in less than an hour. We really appreciated the friendly speedy service. Johnny was very knowledgeable! We will recommend AAP for anyone needing car parts.

Every time I go in they take such good care of me. I had gotten the wrong windshield wipers that another store had recommended for my car, and went there to see if they had the kind I needed. They found them no problem and showed us how to install them properly. One of them came loose in a severe storm and I lost it, and since it was still under warranty, they replaced it for free and installed it for me. These folx are kind, patient, and know what they're doing.

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.
