- HRHarry RDec 30, 20255.0Excellent customer services the manager was very professional got me what I needed
- PCPatrick ClarkSep 3, 20255.0Advance Auto on University Parkway is a location that truly earns loyalty, business, and respect. From the moment I walked in, Jerry, the store manager, set the tone by asking about my need and making sure I was taken care of. Within minutes, he was outside in front of my vehicle, taking a hands-on look under the hood. That kind of immediate attention and willingness to step outside the store shows just how dedicated he is to customer service. Jerry is knowledgeable, approachable, and determined to get answers for his customers, no matter the situation. He doesn’t just sell parts—he makes sure you understand what’s going on with your vehicle and how best to fix it. This type of service goes above and beyond what most people expect from an auto parts store. It’s the reason this location stands out compared to others in the area. With leaders like Jerry, Advance Auto on University Parkway is more than just a store—it’s a trusted partner in keeping your car running right.

- MWMalachi WoodardJul 17, 20255.0I’ve been to this location several times and their customer service is awesome. I don’t know a whole lot about vehicles and they are always patient and try to help me figure out what I need. I changed my own battery for the first time and they even came out just to check my work. Would recommend

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.
