Wow! I have honeslty avoided all Advance stores due to poor management in the past and a seemingly low morale, even I, as a professional mechanic (ASE Master Tech) and business owner recognize a good vibe vs an unwelcoming environment.
NOT the case on my visit today! The two folks behind the counter were very friendly, willing to help and best part- they have a GREAT attitude! The vibe in the store was welcoming and friendly.
I will be stopping by this store more frequently now and I look forward to our continued relationship!
Thanks for fixing that! Give them a raise, spiffs and bonuses, please! Take care of good employees as they are rare in this current business environment and your employees are your greatest asset!
Just as its difficult for dealers to find techs, its also difficult to find awesome parts pros, and you need to hang on to these two folks!

I will definitely be coming here more! What a breath of fresh air to not only see a woman working here, but to know she is manager and knowledgeable and super kind. Not only got what I needed, I had an awesome conversation. She said her goal is to make sure people leave happier than they came in because a lot of people come in with car problems, obviously and life‘s already hard enough. She just wants to help shift perspective. And mindset matters. Five star review because of her (and having what I need in stock) 😂 💚🫶💯🤙 thanks Adrienne (sorry if I spelled your name wrong)

The manager helped me with purchasing it a set of windshield wiper blades last September and sold me the warranty on them also and then I came back and purchased the rear window wiper blade and the warranty on that also and she is explained how the warranty worked and I came back in 12 months later and exchange them and purchase a new warranty I cannot remember her name at this time but she is very wonderful She is still there and the day that I went into exchange my windshield wipers She just had to take a business run to a different location and was not there to exchange them but she is 100% worth every penny that you guys pay her

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.
