I honestly can’t say enough good things about Shelly. From the moment you walk in, she’s incredibly friendly, welcoming, and genuinely wants to help. She doesn’t just smile and point you to an aisle — she actually listens to what you’re working on, asks the right questions, and gives knowledgeable, straight-up advice. It’s immediately clear that she knows cars and understands parts, fluids, and what actually matters versus what’s just upselling.
What really sets Shelly apart is how patient and thorough she is. Whether you’re a seasoned DIYer or someone who barely knows where the hood latch is, she treats everyone with the same respect and takes the time to explain things clearly. I never once felt rushed or talked down to, which sadly isn’t always the case at auto parts stores.
You can also tell she genuinely takes pride in her job and the store. Since Shelly’s been here, this place has completely turned around. The atmosphere is better, the service is better, and it finally feels like a shop that’s run by someone who actually cares about customers and doing things the right way. She’s clearly made a huge positive impact, and it shows in how smoothly everything runs now.
Shelly is the kind of employee that businesses wish they had — knowledgeable, approachable, professional, and genuinely helpful. She’s a massive asset to this location, and honestly, she’s the reason I’ll keep coming back here instead of going anywhere else. If you get helped by Shelly, you’re in good hands.

My wife and I have been customers of Advanced Auto parts for many years and my wife expresses this store is the only one we shop do to Shelley the manager. She is very knowledgeable of the parts , and the mechanics involved for each part . She asks questions and her knowledge has helped pinpoint the problem and repair. It really helps when your a DIY person that isn't as knowledgeable. So a big shout out to Shelley , Thank You Ma'am!!

Needed new wiper blades day before Christmas. Store pretty empty, but when I walked in I was welcomed by Sheli who offered to help me. I knew the size I needed she double checked to make sure. She also quickly changed then for me. She'll knows her stuff. Was very friendly and helpful. I was on my way in 15 minutes. Highly recommend. I'd go back.

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.
