Went here to return some items I got at a different Advanced Auto Parts store, and the manager Sean went out of his way to help me with the return even though he had no obligation to, which I really appreciate. He was very professional and made sure to educate me on the return policy in a polite way.

Went in today to buy a simple item (a relay for my truck) and this is now the only auto parts store I’ll be using in the area. Frankie and Shay were both friendly and knowledgeable, and even though it was a quick interaction it was exactly what buying parts should be, just employees who know what they’re talking about and treat customers well.

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.
