- ELElizabeth LinoJan 3, 20261.0Whoever is working today at 12:00pm on 01/03/2025 left me hanging on the phone for 10 minutes and then hang up on me. I just wanted to know if you guys had a part in stock so I could pick it up today. Hire people who actually wants to work!!!!

- PPpatriciaDec 30, 20251.0I came into this Advanced Auto Parts location needing help with a key fob battery replacement. I asked if someone could open the key fob so the battery could be changed. I was told they “couldn’t” do it and was given no real explanation or assistance. My mother came here once and was helped with hers which is crazy. That’s why she told me to come here. The employee who helped me was very stern and dismissive, and the interaction felt unnecessarily rude. No attempt was made to help, explain, or offer alternatives The hispanic guy working 12/30 at 5 p.m simply stood there and said they couldn’t assist. What’s frustrating is that I went to AutoZone immediately afterward, and they opened the key fob and replaced the battery with no issue at all after I explained I wasn’t able to. It took only a couple of minutes. For a store that calls itself Advanced Auto Parts, I was disappointed by both the lack of basic service and the unprofessional attitude. I won’t be returning to 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.
