- JCJohn Carrington1 day ago5.0This store is managed much better than my nearest store. The staff was friendly and the manager caught a part number mistake I didn't notice. He handled it quickly and got me on my way. I highly recommend the Red Bank location.
- DBDaniel BukszarOct 22, 20255.0I always use my local South Lake Drive Advance Auto parts store for all my DIY repairs. The store is well stocked, clean, and all the associates are very helpful! The employees all seem to work well together and get customers taken care of expeditiously! They are always willing to go the extra mile for me. I love using the app and my Speed perks. With the top quality parts, the awesome app, discounts, speed perks program and great service, why go anywhere else? Thank you to the team at South lake drive Lexington SC for always giving me VIP service!
- JKJackie KneeceOct 14, 20251.0I do not recommend this advance auto parts. Ran in for a gallon of antifreeze. I knew exactly what I was going in for and where it was located as I frequent this location often . I stood at the counter for 10 minutes while the cashier talked on the phone and did not acknowledge me. I did not say a word I just walked out. I will not be going back to spend any money there. They only got one star for me because it took one star to be able to leave a review.
- CJChris JonesAug 22, 20255.0Thanks a bunch to the AA crew in Red Bank. They helped change out our battery in the caddy, then stood up to replace it when it found to be defective. Kudos all.
- MWmichael whackAug 19, 20251.0I went in to return unopened rotors with my receipt. I paid in cash but they tried to make me take a store credit or no refund. I called the police and they kicked me out of the store. I am disabled and feel I was abused.

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.
