A joke of a store I had a battery under warranty that they refused to honor the warranty because they had a disconnect in their information system from when they got bought out as carquest. Instead of being helpful they were nasty and condescending. They made me walk 3 mi with my battery to get tools elsewhere when they advertise free loaner tools and free parts delivery.

Jessica at the Advance Auto Parts in Destin completely restored my faith in customer service.
After having a terrible experience at another location while trying to return a defective starter that was less than a year old, I walked into the Destin store expecting another headache. Instead, Jessica took the time to actually listen, review the documentation, and evaluate the situation professionally.
I had my receipt, the defective part, and proof of payment. Rather than making assumptions or treating me like I was trying to pull something over on the store, Jessica approached the situation with common sense, professionalism, and respect. She investigated the issue, verified the information, and processed the return without any unnecessary drama.
What stood out most was her attitude. She was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed interested in helping solve the problem rather than creating one. In today’s world, that level of customer service is becoming increasingly rare.
Jessica is exactly the kind of employee every business hopes to have representing their company. She turned what had been an incredibly frustrating experience into a positive one and reminded me why customer service matters.
Thank you, Jessica, for treating customers with dignity and respect and for going above and beyond to help. Because of you, I’ll gladly return to the Destin Advance Auto Parts location for my future automotive needs.
Five stars well deserved.

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.
