- BBBrandon BarthelNov 27, 20251.0Did online order. Ready in 30 min .. store open on Thanksgiving. Drive 40 min. Just to find the store is closed.
- CAChristian AtayiNov 14, 20255.0Please keep Ben at all cost. He knows his stuff and his very helpful. Thanks for the help
- SNSamuel NordNov 9, 20255.0Austin is the man. Yesterday I stopped by Advance Auto Parts to swap a battery and Austin absolutely impressed me. When supplying tools I had not brought, he noticed oil in my air filter—something I never would’ve checked—and explained it pointed to a head gasket issue. That heads-up was huge. He was professional, honest, and broke it down in plain English with zero upsell. Thanks to Austin, I can address a serious problem before it becomes an expensive disaster. Outstanding service—I’ll be coming back because of him!
- RDR DOct 31, 20255.0At every encounter they have been knowledgeable helpful and kind. I appreciate that they are a close resource for me.
- KDKris DirksOct 21, 20251.0Employee is too busy playing on his phone to assist the customers. Shop here if you know exactly what you want and where it is on the shelves. Otherwise.....total frustration!

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.
