Awful service.
(This is not directed at the two female employees who helped me earlier on my first visit.)
I came in to buy a battery for my car, and the cashier tried to give me every reason not to spend my money. His reasons were:
* "If you don't have a battery to recycle, you're going to have to pay extra."
That's fine; it doesn't change the fact that I still need a battery for my car.
* "I can't loan you any tools, and I'm not installing the new battery."
Fine, whatever. I still need to buy a car battery.
* "We are about to close."
I walked into the store at 8:08 PM; your store hours are posted nearby as closing at 9:00 PM!
At this point, I was no longer interested in using your service. It was clear your cashier had no interest in leaving his stool to help me.
My expectations for customer service are pretty low. You tell me the price, and I pay. That's it. I don't require much of anything, and Advance Auto Parts failed spectacularly.
The bright side: I took my business down the road to AutoZone, and they sold me a cheaper battery with no issues.
So thank you, Advance Auto Parts, for directing me to a much better auto parts store.
My wife has also had to deal with very poor customer service and refuses to return there under any circumstances. Today, I've decided to follow suit.

The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
