Not a great experience to be honest. Asked for help and it was like I bothered him with my question. Really didn’t want to show me where anything was or what was the best for my mother’s car.

I needed a left muffler for my car, I looked online and it showed the muffler I needed in stock part 21672 Walker Quiet Flow. When I drove over there the woman on the counter tells me they only have the one for the right side in stock.

I meant to write this review a few weeks ago but life got in the way… Anyway, I don’t write reviews often but this Advance Auto parts hands down was the best service I’ve had! I was addressed IMMEDIATELY when I walked in and didn’t have to wait long (not that I’d mind). The star of the show is Frank! He helped me and was very informative, professional and pointed me in the right direction with my battery (which was a year old and completely dead). He did what he could to help me out and even installed it for me because I couldn’t readily find my socket set! This guy is friendly, good at his job and needs a raise! If you need to go to an Advanced Auto, go to this one and ask for Frank!

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.
