- DSDan StaleyNov 4, 20255.0I had a great experience yesterday here. I spoke to Todd on the phone about possibly needing a new battery for my truck. Upon my arrival to the store, I met with Todd who came out and took a look at my battery. Unfortunately, the battery was so corroded since it had been in there for about 5 years or so but Todd agreed to put an attempt to see if he could safely get the battery out to replace it. After about 30 mins, the corrosion from the battery acid was starting to clear up which allowed Todd to disconnect the battery safely and to make sure he could put another one in. I went in and bought a new battery and Todd installed it for me and it’s good as new. Todd cleaned the terminal for me and really put in an effort to make sure I was all set. I appreciate the way Todd went above and beyond to help me out here and would definitely go back if I need any assistance with my truck!
- RIRene W IsraelOct 26, 20251.0I used to be one of your best customers. I purchased every car part in the book but attitudes of the employees that have worked here for at least the past several months or more, that is if the same ones are still there, have turned me off, so I will wait and see if they still work here from time to time and if so, I will just go back out the door. I do a lot of my shopping in this area so convenience has been my main purpose to shop with Advance Auto.
- KGKatrina GordonSep 19, 20255.0Today I popped into Advance Auto Parts in Glenside to get some new wiper blades. Todd was super helpful in helping me decide on a good pair of windshield wiper blades for my Ford Focus. He even helped me put them on my car! I was so grateful for him and his kindness. If you’re just a girl and you need a place safe, reliable place to get some car help, I really recommend the Glenside store. Thank you Todd!
- SKS. K.Jul 31, 20255.0Very polite and forgiving after I made the wrong purchase.
- HLHarry LedwithJun 30, 20251.0Unfortunately this is a bad review. I went to this location 3 times in the last 2 weeks, and 2 out of three were horrible. Please note I am a dual certified master technician working in a dealership environment. I was requested to fix the air conditioner in a friends car (14 Jeep). Needed a blend door motor / gear for the fix. First trip there I asked for the complete motor after looking it up on their website. 25 minutes standing there the counter guy said they could not find it. So I went home and ordered and paid for the replacement gear. Went there with my receipt and you guessed it, another 25 minutes and they cant find that part. Called up autozone right up the street and they said they had it in hand, so I motored there to buy. I used to spend a lot of money at advanced in Glenside, but no more. Another 5 minute ride and your at a real parts store.

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.
