I’ve had several instances where Advanced Auto Parts, store #3344, has done their due diligence and was very attentive to provide excellent customer service. Amanda went above and beyond to help me find exactly what I needed. She was knowledgeable, friendly, and patient—taking the time to explain everything and make sure I got the right parts for my customers vehicles.
Amanda and her team make my visit quick, easy, and stress-free. It’s wonderful when you find such genuine, top-notch service these days, and this store definitely delivers it.
Thank you, Amanda and the Advance Auto Parts crew at Leopard St, for the outstanding service! I appreciate you all and will be recommending this location to others. Respectfully, Nancy

The gentleman that helped was helpful and quickly installed the car battery. He helped in-between customers and was the only one at the time on staff. Would recommend.

I bought a battery from one of the other advance Auto parts and then when I was returning the core, I went to a closer one. They couldn't find it in their system so I had to drive to the store I bought it from. Both in the same town.

Advance Auto Parts not only gave us great service, they saved us $500!!! It was going to cost us over $715 to install the battery to my Mercedes. We were referred to Ernest and not only was our battery cheaper, the program reset was free!! Go see Ernest!! We are permanent customers to him and the store. Thank you ERNEST!!

This is a great location. My wife had a cylinder misfiring in her truck. She went to p/u a new coil here while travelling through Corpus Christi and Ernest helped her get back on the road. Huge shout out to Ernest for going above and beyond to assist an Advance Auto customer 200 miles away from home.

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.
