Absolutely unacceptable customer service.
I've been a loyal customer of Advance Auto Parts for years and have spent thousands of dollars here, but after my experience yesterday I will not be returning.
I came in to return a core and was told a manager was needed to enter a code. I ended up waiting 25 minutes in the lobby while the older gentleman helping us repeatedly tried to get the manager’s attention — and was completely ignored.
When the manager finally did come out from the back, he chose to help a customer who had just walked in, even though I had already been waiting nearly half an hour. When he finally approached us, he was incredibly rude to his fellow employee, blaming him in front of us for the delay — even though the older man had been doing everything he could. My wife stepped in to defend him, and the manager’s response was, and I quote:
“This does not involve you. I can speak to my employee however I want.”
I nearly lost it at that point. After he walked away again, I approached him in the store and tried to calmly talk to him. He first said he was “too busy,” and when I explained the situation and how disrespectful he was — especially toward my wife — he dismissed me again, telling me to file a complaint if I wanted. When I asked for his name, he ignored me and walked away until I got louder. He finally said his name was Sebastian.
This is the most disrespected I’ve ever felt in a place of business. The only person who acted professionally was the older employee who assisted us — he deserves better.
I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from now on, and I strongly urge others to consider doing the same.

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.
