Jeff Bailey was Absolutely phenomenal. His expertise and customer service went beyond my expectations. I went in to pick up an online order.
Jeff made sure that I was aware of everything I needed beyond my order. He made sure I had brake cleaner and sold me a bundle that I needed. There was a issue with the items that I ordered online
Jeff made calls to every manager associated with the store, made several calls to customers service, then Andrew and Jeff finally made provisions to make sure I had everything I ordered.
Advanced Auto Parts should give Jeff a raise and promotion for his commitment to the company and customer satisfaction.
Jeff and Andrew are both assets to the company and I will only go to Advanced Auto now if Jeff is there. Thanks Jeff for your commitment to customer service and being a good human being.

I was on a road trip passing through town, stopped to get fuel and well…. Nothing.
I don’t know much about vehicles but my husband removed the battery and we luckily were in walking distance to this location and spoke to a gentleman named Nick. He was extremely helpful very knowledgeable and was able to get us exactly what we needed.

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.
