I’ve been coming to this Advanced Auto Parts for years and not until the last few months has the overall customer service dropped significantly. The “managers” are rude when you’re just trying to figure out items for your own car. Forgive me for not knowing every single part code to my car but there’s no need to be rude or have an attitude with customers. As I work in the car sales business in the area I know customers should be treated and they failed every metric and it’s a shame to have to steer family, friends and clients away from a business in the area. Enter with caution but don’t expect to be treated well.

The associate that worked with me was helpful and knowledgeable. I needed my truck battery tested and then purchased a new one since it was dead.

Do not buy here. They lie about warranty on products just so you dont go to the competitor. Good luck having your replacement honored. They take your number and ask you to come back the next day. They never called me to come back, i had to return on my own. Then once im in the store they leave me waiting to take care of all the other customers before telling me they will not honor a replacement. Very rude employees.

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.
