Nice people, went in for a battery for my truck. Cost for 4 yr warranty was reasonable. The battery was dated 2025 which was expected. Another auto store that was trying to sell me one from 2023 3 yr warranty.

Zachary and Anthony were absolutely life savers. Our very first trip to Uwharrie National Park and we were stranded with a lug nut that would not budge. For over an hour we tried and tried. We were forced to limp through town with a flat tire from air pump to air pump to the only open place that could possibly help us. We struck gold at this particular Advance Auto Parts store. Zach never once hesitated to pull out the tools necessary to get us on our way. The lug nut never would come off, but he helped plug the tire and fill it with air so we could make it back home to Fayettville. He certainly didn't have to help, but he rolled his sleeves up and was down on the ground helping. He made a very bad day turn right around. We would later find out that the lug nut would not have come off due to the tire shop messing it up, but Zach's efforts were much appreciated and allowed us to make the drive home. So if you need something...go to Advance store #4151 and ask for Zach or Anthony. I promise you will not be disappointed. The best customer service we've experienced since well before COVID! Thank you gentlemen again for your help. We are truly grateful!

This place always has the stuff we need for our vehicles. Prices did seem to be a little higher than usual but what isn't these days? Employees are helpful as long as you know exactly what you need or what kind of car you need it for since they look everything up on computers

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.
