- HAHeath ArnoldJun 26, 20243.0They never have parts aways have to order
- CSCody Sullivan (Shenzio)Oct 4, 20222.0I visited this store a few days ago, as I have many times. I'll also say that my situation was a unique one, but one I felt deserved a better answer considering my solution. I own a Tesla Model 3, which needed the 12v battery replaced, which to some people is a funny concept. A Tesla does in fact have a regular 12v battery in addition to the main battery under the car. So I inquire about a battery and before looking up anything on the computer his answer was "No we don't have that". I assured him, I just need a 12v battery not the big battery and laughed a little because again, most people wouldn't think an electic car would need a 12v battery. His answer to this was "We don't touch Tesla's". So again, I answered with, I'm going to put it in myself. He answered with "We don't have that". A little confused, I accepted defeat and left empty handed. I get home and remember seeing an EV battery being advertised on TV so I look it up. A diehard EV battery...wait...Diehard is an Advance Auto Parts brand. I ordered it directly from the website and installed it myself today. So I'll come back to this store, as I have many times. I would have liked to have seen a little more effort in my request. Especially since Advance did have a battery that worked and was an "exact fit" on the website. This store most likely didn't have one in stock, but could have done a little better and ordered it for me or attempted to look it up for me. I was going to give one star but I ended up getting the battery I needed through Advance. So I'll give it a solid 2 for this experience.
- JJJoseph Dewitt (Joe)Oct 5, 20184.0Understood of what i was wanting and had the part also tryd to get a part there that day very nice
- PPPowrlineFeb 19, 20182.0Staff somewhat helpful at this location. Took away two stars because Tim was more concerned with what was on the computer screen and taking a phone call, then waiting on a potential customer standing at the counter. A different store sold me what I went into Advance for.

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.
