- LBLisa BraddamFeb 21, 20265.0Our experience at Advance Auto Parts was exceptional! We were especially impressed with and appreciative of our team member, Joe V, who located the items we needed and performed our battery install with professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency.
- BABen AguilarFeb 16, 20265.0Jessica was such a blessing in helping me out with my purchases and getting my windshield wipers installed.
- MPMike PenaJan 23, 20265.0Excellent customer service. I will definitely continue to do business here.
- RSRozz SteelmanJan 14, 20265.0My experience every time visiting this location has been straightforward and full of kindness! As someone who isn’t too familiar with cars I’ve had no troubles getting assistance with all of my car needs over time, from a new windshield wiper to a replaced car fuse. Jorge was extremely helpful, assisted me with all of my questions and helped me to properly and smoothly locate and replace my car fuse when I noticed my charger no longer worked. He’s obviously very knowledgeable and was nothing but kind and helpful, my problem was fixed quickly! I would highly recommend this location as the staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable!
- DMDawn MorningstarJan 4, 20265.0Just wanted to say the two young men who helped me tonight were so sweet. I called ahead to see if they had a steering wheel cover. ( I previously bought one at Walmart,which I thought was not the right size, and could not get it on myself, so I returned it)The one young man I spoke to on the phone put the cover aside without me even asking. When I arrived he had it ready...when I asked if they could help me install it, the younger of the two had a little experience with installing them, which was not easy, but he got it on beautifully. What, sweet, young men and great customer service...Sorry I did not get they're names but it was on 1-3-2026. I hope they're manager see's this and gives them recognition for their jobs well done.

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.
