This place is a joke. Nobody knows what they're doing.
Go to Napa. It's cheaper and service is way better.

One of the best customer service experiences I can remember. I came in Sunday morning and John was working by himself. Despite a constant flow of customers, John still took the time to test and replace my car battery. He was helpful and knowledgeable with all customers, which was very impressive considering the number of different people he was assisting. I highly recommend AAP after this experience.

Broke down at gaint with my 9 month old and a truck full of groceries. Turns out my battery needed to be replaced. Kelsey and John helped the swap out my old battery. It took longer then expected due to the battery holder being seized in place. Thanks for the help Kelsey and John .

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.
