My son's car battery died on Saturday afternoon and after AAA jump started the car, we headed over to Advance Auto for a new battery. Within minutes, one of the staff helped us select a new and reasonably priced battery, and then installed the battery in record time. Hats off to Advance Auto for their prompt and courteous service, and professionalism. We couldn't have been more pleased with our experience.

Two stars because the store are good and everything else, but I was at line and the guy with long hair was playing music loudly and came a couple and he quickly jumps to helps them and what about me? Needs to be “light skin” to get nice customer service? Needs to be trained to helps equity. And he gets upset when I say “I was here before them and you didn’t pay me attention”

Called in yesterday for a specific part and was told that they have it available. Called in today before heading over, to confirm if I can still come to pick it up, and the kid who answered the phone answers with “hello?”. This is a business, not your personal phone. He then proceeds to tell me that they don’t have that part available at all. How is that possible if he confirmed that they have a lot in stock less than 24 hours prior?. On top of that, he puts me on a brief hold and then hangs up on me. Overall, he just seemed lost as I had to repeat myself to him about 4x’s over the phone. Avoid this location

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.
