Cameron, and the jacked Harry Potter looking fella here are phenomenal. Another store nearby made a mistake selling me the wrong part. This location corrected the mistake, found the right part and made things right with no hassle. Most helpful parts store in the area.

Cameron and his crew are top notched. I purchased a battery and wiper blade. I was treated very well. Cameron installed the battery with professional work making my experience pleasant and very fast. Thanks for getting my Ram back on the road.

I came into the Advance Auto Parts on Seaboard Street and bought a set of brake pads for my car. After installing them, I noticed within a day or two that the pads were faulty — they heat-soaked my rotors to the point they could no longer be turned. I went back to the store with the pads, hoping to get some kind of compensation or at least a fair discussion about the damage.
The supervisor I spoke with (who didn’t give his name) acted as if I had interrupted his lunch. He was dismissive, belittled me, and made me feel like I didn’t know what I was talking about. For context, I’m a master mechanic — I’ve been doing this long enough to know when something’s not an installation error. He refused to warranty the pads or help with the cost of the rotors, and instead told me to go to another store to handle it.
I understand mistakes happen, but the attitude and lack of professionalism were unacceptable. I’m not saying to completely avoid this location, but definitely be cautious about who you deal with. Personally, I’ll be taking my business elsewhere from now on. Advance Auto Parts has always treated me much better at other locations, but this store did not.

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.
