- AWAbbie W.Jan 2, 20261.0I have yet to have a good experience going to this store. I've experienced push-back purchasing everything from car remote batteries to oil filters to wiper blades... easy stuff that is right in my car's manual.
- AAAleitaDec 28, 20255.0Fast, friendly exceptional service. They even put on my new wiper blades in the rain.
- CLChristina LeeAug 26, 20255.0We've shopped at this Advance Auto Parts on a couple of occasions and had very average experiences. Today we stopped in after getting our car jumped and in need of a new battery. The two ladies working this evening were wonderful. They changed our battery quickly despite having quite a lot of corrosion and were helpful, explaining to me how to do it myself in the future. It was a very positive experience and I wish I had gotten their names as they deserve recognition for being exceptional employees.
- NSNicole SemanAug 3, 20251.0I have been to this Advanced Auto multiple times in the past year and had issues each time. They gave me the wrong serpentine belt which did not fit my car and sold me a defective alternator. Overall the staff has been very difficult to work with.

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.
