- SRSteve RiceNov 12, 20255.0Staff is always very helpful, store is clean. They even put my windshield wipers on my car for me, fantastic crew!
- KFKatherine FreemanOct 25, 20255.0I called 4 places this rainy, chilly, evening. I got 4 answers, with various differences, to my simple question about a battery replacement. The Advance Auto Rep. was friendly, honest, helpful, kind, and professional. For, these reasons, because of the service I received that night (his honesty and kindness) Advance Auto will be my first choice when I need a car part store.
- MCMichael CyrOct 14, 20255.0For business customers they do a great job. Don't know about retail but I don't see why it would be different. They go out of their way to find the parts I need as quickly as they can be had . Friendly too
- JBJames BrushSep 28, 20255.0I called and was told by the nice woman that works there that they do battery changes with free installtion. When I got there, Tyler helped me get a discount by entering my phone number. He personally installed my battery after confirming they had the right type. Nice people, speedy service, reasonable prices.
- VPVincent PetersenSep 13, 20255.0Needed parts which they received at the time I was told. I'm from out of state and stuck in Walmart parking lot after getting towed off hwy. They not only got my parts in but delivered them to me. Great group at this store. Thanks again for the help. Vinnie Florida

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.
