Excellent service!
I bought a car battery at Advance Auto Parts and Antonio Rodríguez installed it for me. He was extremely friendly, fast, efficient, and very professional. He did clean work and had me ready to go in no time.
Highly recommended.
thank you, Antonio!

They are so friendly and have great advice. Plus they are great members of the community! They allow the Tuscarora Marching Band to host car washes there a few times a year(and we aren't the only ones they let do this).

Ethem & David went above and beyond & actually saved my entire evening & hours worth of what would’ve been me driving around store to store to find the correct part and then installing it.
They did BOTH for me, tried different parts to find one that would fit and work correctly as well as installing it. All just an hour before closing time, in the rain.
Auto parts on golden mile costed me: $90
(& that’s without the simple installation… ps: They didn’t even offer to install for me.)
Advanced auto costed me a total of : $26, WITH installation & that was AFTER Ethem and David attempted to install the bad parts that auto parts sold me….
I cannot thank those two enough… I have a two hour drive ahead of me tonite in the rain and wouldn’t have been able to make it there tonight had it not been for these two gentlemen @ advance auto. I’m so grateful. Thank you both!!!! :)

I visited here while traveling out of state and seeing I was low on oil. Naeem was a life-saver, and saved the day helping me select the right product for my car and remedy the situation.

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.
