After working a all day i had some issues with my car and someone said stop and get the battery tested. When i arrived just before 7 i was met with a older employee with all white hair. When i walked in i asked if they could test my battery and he said " why did you not come during the day its dark " i explained to the employee that i do work from 6:30am- 6:30 or 7: PM. He than said " we are open for 12 hours " and i again explained that i was unable to make it during the day. He than scoffed and grabbed the battery charger. When we get outside i explained some of the things going on and he just said " thats not a battery issue" and stood there just starting at me. After a few minutes of complete silence i just ended up leaving. Completely unprofessional behavior. I would be appalled if any of my employees spoke to customers in that way. Needless to say i will never go to an advanced auto again. If you read this and need help with your car go to autozone down the road

Very rude, I came in to bring my used oil and the old guy at the front refused it extremely rude and unprofessional . I don’t know why he’s even hired there. I went to O’Reillys. They took all my used fluids and apologize for advanced Auto‘s disrespectful behavior.

Bought a wheel speed sensor and turned out it was the wrong part and when I went to return it the would do a return bc it’s electric part I was never told you can not return this part and $50 sensor that there employees messed up by not getting me the right one is now my fault. Needless to say I’m done buy parts at advance and as often as i am buying parts there you would think they would try and fix the situation but they didn’t even want to hear it.

Went in this afternoon to buy wiper blades, the older gentleman was snippy in asking if I need anything, acting short with me, after we established my vehicle he just points where the wipers were, ok at first I didn’t see exactly where they were, so he points again. They weren’t busy but I did not want more attitude if I asked for help, even cashing out I said to the younger gentleman thank you have a good day, nothing, very rude I will shop elsewhere and so will the people I’ve told about your store.

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.
