- BBBrittany BortonNov 15, 20251.0I bought an oil filter for a tractor I had never done an oil change on, so I wasn't sure how the filter looked. Long story short I went to return it bc it wasn't the right size after using my speed perks reward, and the gentleman was absolutely rude! Never in my life have I had such a horrible experience simply trying to return an item. I was nothing but respectful towards this employee and just his whole attitude was disgusting! It's unfortunate bc I've went to the location many times and always had a great experience but bc this one absolutely horrible experience, I will not be returning to this store. And I also will be calling customer service Monday due to the fact they were closed today!
- ALAdam LeonardDec 1, 20231.0We had a very bad experience at this location. I bought a diehard gold battery in July of 2020. In November of 2021, it started acting up. Slow to crank and the power sliding doors wouldn't open. I took my vehicle to Advance Auto and was met with what I can only describe as incompetence and flat out rudeness. Even though their battery tester showed low cold crank amps, they insisted that the battery was not the problem and was fine. They told me it must be a grounding issue. Or the starter. Or the alternator. Anything but the battery. When it died in the parking lot, the kid they sent out to jump it didn't know how. Someone had to come out and teach him. Early on in the conversation, we shared that my wife was about to take a longer trip and we were concerned about this issue. After going back and forth with them during this terrible experience and finally getting a jump so we could leave, the employee helping us smirked and said sarcastically "Have a good trip, I hope you don't get stranded!" I don't recall a time that I've been treated so poorly as a customer. I ended up having to go to an independent shop and paid to have the starter, battery, and entire charging system tested. Their diagnosis? Bad battery, needs a new one. With this proof in hand I called their corporate number and fortunately, they helped me to get a new battery under the warranty. It's now been two years with the replacement battery and we've had no issues, further proving it WAS in fact a bad battery all along. With so many other auto parts stores within eyesight of this place, I would recommend that anyone in need of parts and competent, friendly service go elsewhere.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
