- DPDavid PerryOct 17, 20251.0I took my car for an oil change today, 10/17/2025, to AAA Car Care at 9980 Dorchester Road in Summerville SC. They didn't have the oil filter in stock so ordered it immediately from Advance Auto Parts at 945 Bacon Bridge Road, which according to Google Maps is exactly 4 miles away. I only have one car so I had to wait for the oil change to be completed. It took over 2.5 hours for the part to be delivered from Advance Auto Parts. I witnessed at least 4 calls from the agent at AAA Car Care to Advance Auto Parts at 945 Bacons Bridge Road, and overheard the parts store person say the delivery man was on the way, identifying him by name. That delivery man is known by AAA Auto Care who see him frequently due to deliveries. On the last call the agent told me that the man who was supposedly "on the way" answered the phone. This resulted in a job that should have taken less than 30 minutes to take almost 3 hours. I value honesty above all else, and to witness not only dishonesty, but laziness as well, goes against my grain. I commend AAA Car Care for their efforts on my behalf. They refused to charge me for the oil change, so had to eat that cost as well as the cost of the oil filter. I suggested that they find a different parts source.

- CWCrystal WilliamsAug 18, 20251.0Called about 10 times to check on a order status just to drive by and see the employees watch the phone ring.. very weird will go to auto zone instead
- KBKevin BrAug 9, 20251.0I went in to get a battery check/replacement. I waited my time to get to the counter and was told I would have to wait until no one was in line before they could check/replace my battery. I will go somewhere else from now on. I was a dedicated buyer from Adv Auto and would go to them first (even passing others) but no longer. You would think that they would have more than one employee working on Saturday at 1pm. I will find another parts center that wants my money.

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.
