My son and I got a battery for his 2010 Dodge Challenger in the summer of 2025. He was off work on Sunday and his car was cranking fine He went to crank his car Monday morning and it wouldn't crank. He ended up getting a ride to work. On Tuesday he was off work and a friend came over and gave him a boost. It cranked right up and he stated the battery probably had a bad cell. I followed him to Advance in Jamestown where we originally purchased the battery. As soon as we parked, The car wouldn't crank. The associate that helped us test the battery said ithe battery was good. He said he couldn't switch the battery out , even though it was under warranty. He began charging it up outside and the car wouldn't crank. He continued to have my son try to crank it and it still wouldn't crank. I think it flooded the engine and it began making different sounds that it didn't before. So we ended up having AAA come out and they towed it to the dealership. I think his persistent antics ended up damaging my son's car. I feel it would have cranked if he would have switched the battery instead of trying to avoid switching it out and not honoring the warranty. Right before AAA came the other young black associate came out to help us and said he would switch the battery and not the one that messed up my son's vehicle. He put a new battery in and my son tried to crank it. By that time it was already damaged. I haven't heard from the dealership yet, due to them not getting to it yet. I appreciated the young man that came out to help us after we stood in the cold. I work at a Bank and we handle Advances accounts. The one across the street from my job always help us and I trust them. But the next time I need a car part or help, I'm going to Autozone or O'Reilly. I hope the car wasn't damaged to where we will have costly repairs that could have been avoided. And I wanted to commend the young gentleman that came out to try and make it right. It was the first time I had such a bad experience.

My biggest problem with Advance auto is their prices. I find them to higher than their competitors. A can of spray paint will be 15 bucks and the same can at Walmart is half of that. Always shop around and don't shop for convenience. I called about a head gasket set. They tell me they don't list one. Ok? Sure. I call OReallys and they had one in stock. Advance concerns itself with their commercial accounts. Those accounts get discounts so they can charge us more . So Advance charges us more. There commercial accounts charge us more. So either way we get the shaft. That's why I shop online. Most things are half as much and I get to look to make sure my parts are right . Cut out advance and their accounts. So that money stays in my pocket where it belongs. I've been doing this for forty years. No matter how sweet they screw you you are still getting screwed. Screw them first. Just feels right.

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.
