Ordered the part online that I needed to get the hvac fixed in my truck. They had it waiting for me when I arrived at the store. Right part, right price and the heater was fixed before the snow arrived today!

Tammy & Shawn were both so incredible in my time of need. One of my highlights went out, and after doing some research on ChatGBT on what I needed, Tammy expertly guided me on the exact set to purchase (same as ChatGBT recommended) and Shawn lent his expertise on how to install them as I had to travel an hour to get back home. Both are amazing humans! Advanced Autoparts, you are LUCKY to have these kind and generous people working for you! What an amazing experience 🌷

We realized we needed a new battery after we left Lexington. Stopped at the Mt sterling location to get one. Travis and another fella installed it, didn’t get his name. Most friendliest and helpful staff!! We will definitely go back to that location to get what we need on our way home. Highly recommend!! 5stars

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.
