Very disappointed with the service at this location.
I went for a curbside pickup, and when I arrived, Larry told me, “What’s curbside service? We don’t do that — you gotta come in and get it.” That’s literally the service I selected and confirmed online. It’s frustrating when a store advertises a service but the staff refuses to honor it or even pretends not to know about it.
I called corporate, and all they said was, “We’ll just let them know they’re supposed to do curbside.” No real accountability, no follow-up, no concern for the customer’s experience.
Advance Auto Parts should do better — especially when it comes to customer service and training their employees properly. I won’t be returning to this location.

Great service and friendly. I needed a battery which took only minutes to purchase and about 15
min to install. I was back on the road and gone in less time than it took for someone to offer to jump the dead battery.

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.
