Very clean store, the young lady who helped us was very informative and knowledgeable. We learned she had taken over the store recently and look forward to coming back again soon! She went out of her way to make sure we were taken care of.

Good afternoon, I was able to successfully get my battery tested for my 2021 Prius prime phev. I went to AutoZone down the road the individual there stated they cannot test the battery since it’s a hybrid. I was not asking for that to get tested. So I came here to advance and they were ready and knowledgeable. Some of the best customer service year over year. Joe did a great job on helping me today. Thanks advance.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
