- LLL LDec 19, 20251.0I have walked into this advance auto parts twice in the last 24 hours. I walked out twice. Both times there's a small line of people waiting at the register, and there was one or two workers standing behind the counter on their computer not helping people. They just let people stand there. No one else in the store. After standing in line a minute or two. I decided to approach the very important man who obviously sees me. I went up close to the guy. Stood in silence for 20 seconds, again, the guy totally noticed I've been there a while, doesn't say anything. I break down and say hi how's it going! He says I'll be right with you, doesn't even move his eyes. Then gets back to working on his super important thing on a computer. I turn and walk out again. No joke. Exact same service. Apparently this parts store hires lots of men to work on very important complex projects behind computers. Customers are a nuisance. Maybe they get bonuses for how long they ignore people. Maybe you should bring a sandwich if you are waiting in line. Maybe I should try and get a job staring at a computer and ignoring customers. Seems like a good gig.
- AAakocher2112Nov 25, 20252.0Stopped in for a battery for my lawnmower, they wanted $220 for the cheapest one they had available. For a lawnmower, thats crazy. Found a better battery elsewhere for $104. No wonder the parking lot to this place is always empty when I drive by. However the staff was friendly and understood my shock at the price.

- DCD CishOct 26, 20251.0We came in yesterday (10/25) to order a specific part. When we walked in, the employees looked like they were busy doing something, so we didn’t want to interrupt. We stood a few steps back to give them space. After about 3–5 minutes of being ignored, we stepped up to the counter. The employee finally looked over and said, “Can I help you?” in a condescending tone, like we were bothering him. I kept it polite and explained, “I’m trying to get a specific part and I have the part number so you can look it up to see if you have it or can order it.” He still acted annoyed and said he had to put something into the computer before he could do that — again with attitude. I even said, “I’m not sure what I did, but alright,” because he had no reason to be annoyed with me especially after I waited for them to finish up whatever it is they were doing. He eventually looked it up and told us he could order it and have it in the next day, so we said okay. Later, we called to confirm the order was placed — and he never put it in. We were patient and respectful the whole time, but the attitude and lack of follow through made this a really unprofessional experience and I will not be coming back for any parts.

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.
