- THTom HolmstromOct 18, 20253.0Unfortunately they have still not trained their clerks on automotive repairs or explained that ASE certified mechanics know what they need and its not an argument because the computer doesn't agree...I needed a hose of a specific size due to customization of my car which did not show up on the computer list.
- KTKyle TidwellOct 3, 20251.0Issue is with the company rather than the store itself. I purchased a serpentine belt for my vehicle at $52 and took it home to discover that it was the incorrect size. Brought it immediately back to the store and they informed me that I could only do store credit and purchase the other $80 belt they had in stock. Worst part is that this is on an account. They see the purchase within the system. (2hours prior) but can’t do a thing. I’ll be sticking to AutoZone.
- DCdiane coomerSep 18, 20255.0Went to purchase a battery for my Nissan Versa Note and needed it installed. Brittany was happy to do that. Very polite and friendly. She quickly got the battery I my car needed. We went outside to install it. She was very knowledgeable at disconnecting the old battery and putting in the new one. I was very pleased and impressed with Brittany and would strongly suggest asking for her assistance if you need help at the Advanced Auto location at 4731 Devine St. Columbia, SC. Thank you once again Brittany. You were Awesome. 👏👍🙂
- KAKevin ArchieSep 13, 20255.0Went here to ask a few questions about my mom’s car and was pleasantly surprised by the kind staff. Xavius was super helpful and knowledgeable (even though he was helping another customer) and went out of his way to ensure I got the part fixed. Elexis rang me up inside and was very pleasant and helpful as well. Very pleasant experience. Thanks!
- LLLesley LawrimoreSep 5, 20255.0Aldi was so helpful, professional, and friendly! I could tell she was very busy as soon as I entered the store to have my battery checked b/c I had to wait several minutes to be assisted while she was helping another customer, but once she helped me, she did an excellent job and I was out of there in under 30 minutes. I ended up needing a new battery & my car is a little complex... she had to remove several things to even get to the battery...but she did it quickly and made it look easy! I would give her 10 stars for customer service if I could!

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.
