- CACasey Anderson1 day ago1.0Guy at the front counter was smacking his lips and chewing his gum with his mouth wide open while talking to his customers. Wouldn’t answer the phone for other customers calling. Seemed to not know how to work the computer system. Ended up having to give him my phone number 5-6 times. That’s after he was putting numbers and extra letters in my last name. As he was looking for my parts he was talking very loudly to himself while cursing up a storm with kids waiting behind us. Overall just very unprofessional and wouldn’t recommend coming to this location.
- KCkim campbellDec 22, 20252.0I went in to Advanced Auto in Thorndale to look for seat covers for my husband's truck as a Christmas gift. Selection was slim to begin with, but when I was going to buy one, the sales associate said they won't accept returns. If my husband doesn't like it or it doesn't fit, then what? I'm stuck with them. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE RIGHT DOWN THE STREET, BOUGHT THE SAME SEAT COVERS I WAS GOING TO BUY AT ADVANCED AUTO, AND AUTO ZONE WILL LET YOU RETURN THEM! Sorry Adanced Auto, but you lost a sale to your competitor.
- JSJunior SanOct 2, 20251.0Por que son tan enojados y racistas? Pedimos un reembolso y su respuesta fue muy abusiva, por parte de la gerente, no hay un buen servicio al cliente

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.
