ABSOLUTELY THE WORST Advanced Autoparts location I've ever had the displeasure of experiencing. I took my Mom's car to this location and the manager [Jay] refused to replace her battery (his personal policy & not the company's). Jay said that this location does NOT replace batteries in vehicles years 2017+, but their web site mentions nothing of this. He also mentioned that in order to test the battery, i'd have to turn the car off and it would be up to me whether or not I wanted to do that and risk not being able to restart the car… He didn't even want to give me a boost! My 85-year old Mom and I in were in the hot sun and Jay said he couldn't jump it cause he was the only person in the store, but we were parked right at the door, then his coworker [Roman] arrived. Jay said if Roman "wants" to do it, he can. Roman was very kind and helped my Mom and I by jumping the car.
We finally made it to Autozone/got new battery replaced w no problems!!! Shout out to AutoZone [Frank was the absolute sweetest]!!!
I plan to elevate this issue further.

Bo was so patient, professional and kind. He fixed my super frustrating windshield wiper fit issue and I feel so much better about my daughter heading out on her road trip. These guys actually care to help and I’m so grateful.

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.
