"I recently had an exceptional experience with Advanced Auto Store. The staff member I spoke with not only answered my call promptly but went above and beyond to find a specific BMW tool I was looking for. Despite initial difficulties locating it, he called me back 10 minutes later to inform me that he had found it. His dedication and follow-through were impressive, especially considering the time I had spent trying to track down the tool. I'm extremely satisfied with the service I received and would highly recommend Advanced Auto Store."2909 Sheridan Drive and Eggers....thank you for doing your job correct Brian Bailey was who took care of me and this is Dylon Edwards I don't know how to change my name on this phone lol 😀

I was informed by another Advance Auto Parts branch that a crucial part I needed was available at this location and that it closed at 7:00 PM. Understanding the urgency, I rushed to the store, arriving at the door at 6:58 PM. To my dismay, the store was already locked.
After knocking, an individual named Kristen (I do not know her last name) came to the door. She brusquely informed us that she had already closed the counter and that we were "late." When I pointed out that it was not yet 7:00 PM and that she had closed early, her response was utterly unprofessional. She yelled at my friend and me, stating that she was the manager, that it was "her place," and that she could close "whenever she wants." When I informed her of my intention to report this to HR, she slammed the door in our faces.
This level of disrespect and disregard for stated business hours is unacceptable. It is baffling that an Advance Auto Parts manager would treat customers with such contempt and knowingly close early, especially when customers are relying on accurate closing times for urgent needs. I was forced to take my business to a competitor, who, I might add, was very helpful and accommodating.

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.
