- GGGaryNov 2, 20255.0The staff here at my local AAP is always friendly and fantastic. The store is always organized and clean. I appreciate good customer service in a time where it can be hard to find. Thank you AAP Team @ EC
- JRJerry RodkeyOct 16, 20255.0Received terrific service at the Ellicott City Advance Auto Parts store while getting my lawn tractor battery tested and replaced. The store tech was polite, knowledgeable, and efficient. The price was very competitive. Very pleased with the service.
- MTMike TSep 20, 20251.0They told me they didn't have a price match policy when it is literally on their website. I didn’t feel like making a scene so I just paid more than I should have. There really needs to be some training at this location. If you want a price match just do it online or don’t come here.
- JLJanice LahewAug 28, 20251.0Daughter was traveling long distance when the tail pipe came loose on her truck. She made it from the interstate to this store and ask them if they would look at the tail pipe to help her purchase what would work to jerry rig it until she could get to her destination. They immediately told her no, they were not mechanics and refused to even look at it. Poor customer service!
- CKColby KellyAug 25, 20255.0Naysha helped me install a new battery and she is the best. Very friendly and got me out the door quickly! Would come back

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.
