Kevin was incredibly kind and helpful. He installed my new battery in no time. He also ensured it was done right with good attention to detail. Would highly recommend this store.

Service here is perfect! I needed a new battery and quickly. I was in and out (with installation) in 15 minutes. They didn't try to sell me a warranty and the staff was professional and polite. This place is my new go to for car service and parts.

Guys this is the only advance auto that gives you the wrong size of rotors and then tells you “the rotor is used” just because of some grease when you tried to fit them. My suggestion do not order or buy here.

On their website they list an available part that is at this specific location. After showing and asking the store associate the item on the store website, they tell me they dont have the item in stock and after says its only for online orders even when an option for pickup exists and is in stock according to their site. What a disappointment. Fix ur inventory or the website.

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.
