Went in at 7:30pm on a Sunday and the door was already locked. Sign says they close at 8:00pm. I knew what I needed and I'd be in and out. They told me they are closed and disappeared behind the shelves. Not happy. My company will no longer do buisness with this location.

I went into the Penfield Rd Advance Auto Parts location tonight around 7:30 PM looking for brake pads and rotors for my 2018 Ford Explorer, and Stephen & Mikey absolutely went above and beyond to help me.
This was hands down the best experience I’ve ever had at this store. They were knowledgeable, patient, and made sure I left with everything I needed. Huge thanks to both of them.
If I want already familiar with the company I would have left assuming Stephen was the owner.

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.
