I pulled into the Parking lot of Advanced Auto Parts, just as the Store was closing. A young Employee opened the door & was apologizing for beginning Winter Hours. I said No worries, could he suggest where else I could go. As he was suggesting other places, he decided to come out & help me with my problem himself. Another young Employee popped his head out to see where he was. I told him he was so kind & helping me with my Car problem, so he came out to help too. Then the Manager came out & I told him how much I appreciated these guys to care enough to help me. The Employees names are Will, & Giacomo. These hardworking young Men can't imagine how much I Appreciate their Kindness , Expertise, Respect , & Patience to an Elderly Woman. My experience tonight, at this Advance Auto Parts Store with these young Employees & The Manager, reminds me of the days when the Customer was treated as a Guest & also Family. ( My family has shopped here in the Past & we've always had Good experience 's ) Thank you so very much.

Fabulous experience at advanced auto in St Charles. David, the manager came out and helped me fix my trailer lights. It would’ve been easy to say he didn’t know what the problem was, but he took the time and helped me.
Definitely not enough of this in the world right now. Thank you, advanced auto and David!!

Today I went to buy 80 bucks worth of wiper blades. Counter help was on phone. After call he asked me what I wanted. Then he took another phone call and dealt completely with that customer. Then ANOTHER call and dealt with that customer. I walked out without purchasing. Is this bad customer service training or just a clod? I went down the street to o’Reilly and got my blades.

I woke up to a dead car battery. I called this store and they were so professional and nice. They provided me with the pricing right away, and Jose had my old battery out and the new battery in within 15 minutes. 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.
