This company's staff and parts selection are best in the business. The staff there are not pushing sales, they're pushing solutions. Very knowledgeable and ethical is how I describe the Advanced Auto Staff. It's great to see a company run this well, and great prices on nearly everything someone could want.

Update-Thanksgiving didn't go exactly as planned but I was contacted and all was made right. I appreciate the brand at advanced calling and figuring out the situation. We made the best of the situation and all is right.
A little frustrated about the situation that happened today. I brought in two batteries to be charged at this location. It’s the day before Thanksgiving and we were planning on using our side-by-side and four wheeler tomorrow so we wanted to make sure the batteries were charged. I spoke with somebody at the store at least four times and reiterated that I would like to have the batteries back regardless of the State of them before the end of the night so that we could enjoy our day tomorrow. After speaking with someone several times, I kept calling back and they told me that the batteries were simply still charging. This was over a period of probably 4+ hours. I now I’m stuck with no batteries because the location closed at eight. I never received a phone call on what the state of my batteries were.The gentleman that I spoke with said they were closed tomorrow so I now have to either choose to buy new batteries or not enjoy the equipment. I wouldn’t be frustrated if I hadn’t talked to somebody multiple times and reiterated that I really wanted the batteries back today.

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.
