I recently visited the store and had an exceptional experience thanks to Matthew.
As a professional mechanic myself, I truly appreciate great service, and Matthew delivered on every front. He was incredibly knowledgeable, quickly helping me locate all the specific parts I needed for my job. Beyond just finding what I asked for, he was professional and courteous, and even took the time to suggest other auxiliary components I might need while doing the repair.
While I had already factored those extra parts into my plan, I greatly appreciated his positive thinking and dedication to ensuring the job is done right the first time. It shows he genuinely cares about the customer's success, whether they are a professional or a DIY enthusiast.
Matthew is a valuable asset to your team, and I highly recommend seeking him out for any parts assistance.

Matthew came and yelling and swearing. He was rude and smelled like booze. He sighed and rolled his eyes when I asked for help i will be taking my business elsewhere.

The store employees were great. Advance auto parts home office didn't stand behind what they sold. Had replaced transmission. It was a bad transmission. So I needed another transmission. Which is costing me time from work and the cost of replacing transmission. Absolutely costing me more and money out of pocket.

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.
