- SSSki1 day ago4.0I need a pair of gas springs to hold up the hood of one of my vehicles, I need a pair that is not searchable by year make and model as it's a custom installation. I need 75 lb units with half inch body diameter, 20 inches center to center extended length compatible with 10mm ball stud interface and 9 inch collapsed travel. The employee was unable to look up gas charged springs by dimensions details. He was helpful otherwise.
- NNNick6 days ago5.0Good service.
- DDDaveFeb 22, 20261.0The manager is very mouthy. Disrespectful. Rude. Unprofessional. We're wondering how many times he got on his knee's to get that position.
- GKGiulia KeanJan 31, 20265.0I had an amazing experience at this advanced auto location. Billy the GM helped check my battery (which then needed to be replaced after my car did not start) and it was a quick and easy replacement. In addition, Billy answered my questions as I watched the installation and gave me helpful tips to remember. The other employee working was also very friendly. I will be coming back with any of my auto needs!
- SPShanelle PetersonJan 8, 20261.0I went in today to purchase a new battery for my car. It says they offer free installation. I asked if they could install it for me one of the men asked the other if they had the staff for that today as if I was an inconvenience to which it was responded “oh yeah we do” followed by “we won’t be able to though because it says here it’ll take 45 minutes to replace your battery and we don’t do the complicated ones, maybe try battery plus off excelsior.” So I did just that. And let me say I purchased my battery (cheaper than it would have been at this store by the way) and had my old one out and new one put in by an amazing man by the name of Steve. I was out of batteries plus in less than 25 minutes! As a woman who already feels uncomfortable going into auto parts stores that was just turned away for what was clearly a lie that was very frustrating and upsetting. I will not be back.

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.
