Greg and Ruby at Advance Auto Parts provided exceptional customer service. I stopped by yesterday, and they were both incredibly attentive and helpful from the moment I walked in. They understood exactly what part I needed and even suggested other items I might need once I remove the original part. That level of care, knowledge, and attention is rare these days.
They truly go above and beyond for their customers, and it was clear they genuinely wanted to help. Greg and Ruby made the experience smooth, informative, and reassuring. If you’re looking for people who take customer service seriously and are willing to help beyond the basics, I highly recommend this location.

Jaime and Joey were awesome! After a failed attempt to get brake pads and rotors from autozone, they both helped to get me the parts I needed at a great price! Coming here from now on instead of autozone.

I arrived to purchase a gasket even though they didn’t have it. Kevin with his coworkers made a diligent effort to find me the gasket. Even though I didn’t walk out with the gasket they were still able to provide me the material to make another. For that I am grateful because I didn’t have to wait for AMAZON or go all the way to San Antonio through traffic.

Wonderful customer service! These guys went above and beyond to help me get my car battery replaced. My replacement required a little more than what could be done at the store and they helped me find someone that could get it done ASAP. So appreciative of them!

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.
