They lost me as a customer tonight. While I was out around Town Center Mall, my truck’s battery died. I was able to get it jump started, and called this Advance Auto Parts store en route to ensure that they had the correct battery in stock. The man on the phone said that they had batteries, but would have to look at my truck before they could commit to installing it, since it could take over 30 minutes (per the message in his system). Upon our arrival, the employee I spoke with looked up the batteries they had in stock and proceeded to tell me they could not install it due to the system reset it would cause (and there was no sense looking at it). I explained that I would not have drove all the way to this store (on a jump) if there was no chance of them doing the install at all per the system response. I explained what I was told on the phone, and I was told that they don’t know who I spoke to. I asked for a manager and I was told that there was none on duty (which is inexcusable). Basically, I was lied to on the phone and no accountability was taken by the store. I’ve had several batteries in both of my vehicles installed here before, so I’m not sure why they’re being instructed not to do so now. I’m not sure if the breakdown is between the management, the employees, or corporate, but whatever it is, I will never be returning to any Advance Auto Parts store after this incompetence.

I had a great experience! Lisa was so helpful. I needed a battery, and she made sure it wasn’t still under warranty before helping me purchase a new one. She also helped me with my Advance Rewards login so I could use $50 worth of rewards. Thank you, Lisa!

I stopped by this location specifically to support a brick-and-mortar business, but the experience was incredibly frustrating.
I was looking for a brush-type applicator for Rust-Oleum automotive touch-up paint to fix minor scratches on my rims. The staff hadn't heard of the product and didn't have it in stock. I walked out to my car, found exactly what I needed on Amazon, and had it at my door within 36 hours.
When I went back in to resolve the issue with the $18 "Universal Black" spray paint I had already purchased, I hit a wall. Because I’m not an account holder and didn't opt for a paper receipt, they refused a refund. I even showed my bank statement proving the purchase at this exact store, but they claimed they couldn't help because it didn't show the specific item barcode.
The salesman himself was actually very nice; he even offered to keep the spray paint I bought so they could resell it, but he still couldn't give me my money back. It’s hard to justify supporting local retail when e-commerce is this much more efficient and reliable. I won't be back.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
