My daughter attends KU and we're 3.5 hours away, so when she needed a new car battery because her car wasn't running correctly, she was nervous and unsure of where to go. She went to Advance Auto Parts on Iowa Street in Lawrence, KS and we couldn't be more grateful. The staff was polite, respectful, and immediately helpful. She purchased a new battery, and they installed it right away -- she was back on the road and on her way to class within 30 minutes. As a parent, it's such a relief knowing there's a place she can go where people will treat her kindly, take care of her and not take advantage of a young college girl. Thank you to Advance Auto Parts for going above and beyond.

I pulled up to get my battery tested. While I waited for the other employee to get finished with their tasks, this smelly long haired guy just stood outside smoking. When he finally came over to me he had his cigarette in my face along with the smoke. He didn’t even help, the other employee did. Not impressed.

Complete disgust at the quality of service today. The Joe Isuzu looking guy behind the counter was more interested in hitting on the woman at the front of the line then actually attending to his customers. Guy in front of me walked out after about 5 minutes, I waited about another 5 before I threw my items on the counter and left. O’Reilly here I come.

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.
