Such a solid place for car stuff. I never feel like they over sell me or speak down to me for being a woman. I got a new battery today and Samuel was awesome. He was so quick and efficient with the new one too! He answered all of my questions and made me feel at ease. 5 stars for sure.

Was prepared to walk in and spend several hundred dollars on a new car battery but couldn’t. Had someone jump my car and drove here to have battery replaced and kid behind counter said, “can’t.” Didn’t offer any solution or reason until I questioned why. Sent me away to another store due to him being the only one in the store.

I purchased a new brake set for the front and rear on my 09 Accord. I dropped the car off at the mechanic along with the parts. I received a call stating that I had the incorrect rotors and pads for the front. It forms out that my car had V6 front brakes. I seamlessly was able to return the parts for the correct pieces. Special thanks to Josh and Hector! Highly recommend!

Amy at Advance Auto Parts was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond to help us. She double-checked that we were getting the correct battery and then installed it for us in nearly 100-degree heat. Because we have an aftermarket sound system, she had to get a couple of additional parts, but she was quick to find solutions and never made it feel like a hassle. She got us from a no-start situation to back on the road with a brand-new battery and a 4-year warranty. We are so happy with the service we received and would absolutely recommend this location, especially Amy! She was knowledgeable, helpful, and truly went above and beyond for us!

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.
