- BBBRIANK81Nov 2, 20255.0I always have a great experience at Advanced Auto Parts in East Brunswick, NJ. The employees are welcoming, friendly, and super helpful. I always look forward to shopping here for my automotive needs. Most of the time, I order on the app and my stuff is always ready within a half hour or so depending on how busy the store is. The customer service is top notch and that’s hard to come by these days. If they don’t have a part in stock, they can usually have it the next day. Highly recommend!

- ECEthan ChangJul 19, 20251.0I bought a obdii scanner and the person working did not disclose that this was a non refundable item, I didn't even use the item, this should be told it is non refundable BEFORE the purchase and not AFTER. Don't buy from here, there are a lot of scummy tactics to take ur money and dip
- HHHamidouJul 6, 20255.0I went to Advance Auto Parts to get sockets for my Milwaukee M18 High Torque Impact Wrench for a brake job. The staff were super helpful and made sure I got the right sockets. When I went back to my car to remove my lug nuts, one swollen lug nut got stuck in my new socket! I came back to the store, the older gentleman kindly helped me out and got the stuck lug nut removed. Great service all around these guys know what they’re doing and actually care. Highly 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.
