I was on hold for 30 minutes and I drive to the store and there are two guys behind the counter playing with their cell phones. Why they had offered to ignore the customers at advance autos on the telephone. As a former employee at advance autos are policies to pick it up within the second ring I really hope the management manages their employees and their policies to attend to the request of the customers that are their boss.

I bought a set of jumper cables from Advance Auto Parts, and they didn’t work at all. When I went back to return them, the store refused to give me a refund and only offered a replacement. I didn’t want another one because I didn’t trust the product to work any better. Very frustrating experience. I would not recommend buying this product.

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.
