I am very happy with the service at this location, especially with the great help we received from SHANE. From the moment we entered to the moment we left, Shane was extremely helpful, patient, and kind. I have never had to buy a car battery, so I already anticipated the process to be stressful. However, Shane’s service made it all quick and stress-free. He showed to be very knowledgeable about car mechanics, and he knew how to make the whole process a smooth one from start to finish. I am very happy with and grateful for Shane’s help!

Big shoutout to Benjamin and Rebecca at Advance Auto Parts for going above and beyond with their customer service! I came in needing help with a battery replacement, and they made the whole process smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Benjamin was incredibly knowledgeable and efficient when diagnosing and installing the new battery, and Rebecca was equally helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout the visit. They both took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure I was fully taken care of before I left. They didn’t just “do a job” ,they truly helped me out like I mattered as a customer. I really appreciate their patience, expertise, and positive attitude.Because of Benjamin and Rebecca, I’ll definitely be coming back to this location for any future car needs. Highly recommend!

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.
