I had a great experience at Advance Auto today thanks to Sal Randazzo.He was extremely knowledgeable, took the time to answer all my questions, and helped me get the exact parts I needed without wasting time or money. It’s rare to find customer service this good these days. Highly recommend asking for Sal!

Went for a battery warranty issue today and was helped by Sal. This was the 2nd time he assisted me. He goes above and beyond and was extremely helpful getting me back up and running. Nice to see someone who cares about his job and is willing to go the extra mile to assist. Thank you Sal

I recently visited Advance Auto Parts for an issue with my car battery, which I originally purchased from them and was still under warranty. I want to give a huge shout-out to Russell and G for their outstanding customer service. Russell went above and beyond trying to locate my order and find a solution, and G did a great job getting my battery changed quickly and professionally. They were both patient, helpful, and genuinely willing to assist.
Unfortunately, my experience wasn’t perfect. While Russell stepped away to check something for me, another employee named Sal (The guy with a beanie) came over, and his attitude was the complete opposite. He seemed dismissive and uninterested in helping with my situation. When I asked if there were any other options to find my order, he immediately said “no” without even trying to look into it. It honestly felt like he just wanted me out of the store, and he wouldn’t even let Russell continue helping me.
Because of Russell and G’s excellent service, I still want to give credit where it’s due — but the interaction with Sal brings my rating down to four stars instead of five

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.
