- JJJasonNov 4, 20255.0I went here after first trying 2 other big chain auto parts stores. First two just said they didn't have my size wiper in stock. Advance said the same, but also looked further and said it was a special order part. It cost as low as the lowest price I found anywhere on the internet without having to pay shipping. Told me I could pick it up following day around noon! Very satisfied customer! Will shop here again!
- KKKySep 26, 20255.0Great customer service. The young man working the counter helped me right when I walked in
- DWDean WheelerSep 19, 20255.0Always helpful
- MMMaxwell MetcalfJul 27, 20251.0I am writing this review to say that JEFF was unprofessional and seems like he does not want people to spend money at this business . He is very rude and refused to tell me the price of my car parts over the phone, which lead to a miscommunication. Had I have known the total price for all my parts instead of being told to “ add them all up” I would not have wasted mine or Jeff’s time. Because of this bad customer service I will be going to different parts stores who are happy to help paying customers.
- LLLouJun 22, 20251.0Jeff one of the workers was rude & when I asked him about price matching THEIR PRICE online he said he couldn’t do it & that I had to order online for pick up in 30 mins when the battery was sitting right there in front of him. Won’t be back. Jeff needs some training.

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.
