I had an excellent experience here last Saturday. The employee listened to my car issue and helped me fine the exact right cleaning product for my situation. She was very smart and understood immediately what I needed. Thanks to her advice, I was able to get the tree sap off my car without any damage to the paint. I genuinely appreciate her time and knowledge.

I came here to buy a new battery and have it installed, and the experience was extremely disappointing. The woman at the front desk told me they couldn’t install my battery due to “inclement weather,” even though the snow had already stopped and there was barely half an inch on the ground.
I had to get a jump just to come here, expecting to purchase a battery and get it installed so I could go about my day. When I asked to speak to a manager, she claimed she was the manager. Instead of helping, she offered to jump my car “to get out of here,” which made no sense — if you’re willing to come outside to jump my car, why refuse to come outside to install the battery I was ready to buy?
In the end, they turned away a paying customer over an excuse that didn’t add up. Really frustrating and unprofessional

I went to Advance Auto, and one of the customer service representatives, Lynn, helped me tremendously. She assisted me last week with a similar situation, but today she went above and beyond. I’m truly grateful that Advance Auto has such a professional and knowledgeable employee.
As an Uber driver, getting the right parts quickly is important, and Lynn always makes the process easy with no hassle. She knows what she’s talking about, and I trust every recommendation she gives. I’ve been coming to Advance Auto for years and have never left disappointed, but Lynn is the reason I’ll keep coming back.
She is a true asset to the company — a real diamond. She deserves a raise and the opportunity to move up. Thank you so much, Lynn! 🙏❤️🩹

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
