I rarely write reviews, but the service I received from Robert Foster at Advance Auto Parts on Reading Road was so extraordinary it deserves to be carved into stone and sung from the rooftops.
From the moment I walked through the door, I was met not with indifference or obligation, but with genuine warmth, patience, and an eagerness to help that felt almost mythic in today’s world. Rob didn’t just assist me—he championed my cause. Every question was answered with clarity and confidence, every concern handled with grace, and every detail attended to as if my problem were the most important task of the day.
This was not “customer service.” This was customer care elevated to an art form. He went above and beyond the call of duty, diving deep into solutions, offering insight without condescension, and ensuring I left not just satisfied—but empowered, informed, and genuinely grateful.
If excellence had a face, it would look like Robert behind the counter at this location. Advance Auto Parts is fortunate to have someone who so effortlessly embodies professionalism, kindness, and relentless dedication to doing things right. Because of this experience, this will be my go-to location—and Rob, the gold standard by which all future service will be measured.
Give this person a raise, a promotion, or at the very least a standing ovation. They earned it.

Five Stars for Robert Foster: The Windshield Wiper Whisperer
I came into the Reading Rd Advance Auto Parts expecting to buy windshield wiper blades. What I didn’t expect was to witness a full-on epiphany about windshield wiper blades.
Enter Robert Foster.
Robert didn’t just help me find wiper blades—he guided me on a journey. A journey of clarity. Of understanding. Of realizing that windshield wipers are not just rubber sticks that swipe rain away, but precision tools standing between you and chaos on the highway.
With patience, humor, and the confidence of a man who has truly seen some things, Robert explained sizes, attachments, and installation like a professor defending a thesis titled “Why Your Current Wipers Are Wrong.” At one point, I swear the clouds parted.
He even helped install them, ensuring they clicked into place with the satisfying finality of a life decision well made. I left not only with perfectly functioning wipers, but with wisdom. Growth. Inner peace.
If you need auto parts, go to Advance Auto Parts.
If you want enlightenment disguised as customer service, ask for Robert Foster.
10/10. Would seek wiper-related guidance again.

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.
