- RDRose DrosteNov 19, 20251.0Chris the district manager here, he is very unprofessional and can’t give the time of day to have a civil conversation. I love advance auto but I cannot justify the behavior of the so called district manager.
- GMGeorgina MayorNov 19, 20251.0I wish I could leave 0 stars. The district manager “Chris” or Christopher George is extremely unpleasant and RUDE. As a high paying customer I will miss the parts I receive, but I no longer will do business at any store he is associated with. This district manager should be re considered to even be apart of the company, highly unprofessional.

- LRLisa RifeOct 7, 20255.0Shoutout to Amber for going above and beyond customer service today for me. You really restored my faith in humanity today. Please give this auto parts your business you won’t regret it.
- AHAmber HeizerJul 24, 20251.0I'd give no stars if I could. When in here this morning to get replacement glass for my passenger side mirror for my car and I was told that they didn't have anything close to what I needed and I should go to a junkyard because it was way cheaper.. so my business went to O'Reilly Auto parts instead.

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.
