Megan installed a battery today on my 2019 Honda Pilot. She and the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and got me on my way again quickly. I highly recommend this Advance Auto location. Thanks for making this easy!

I recently had to run into this store for my boyfriend. The first employee i approached couldn't figure out what i was asking for, but he grabbed his coworker before i left. That woman went way beyond customer service. She could see i was frustrated, understood my attitude and confusion. She took her time with me since I couldn't contact my bf at work. Megan has a customer for life with me. Not only did she make me Crack a smile, but she actually got me what I needed. I haven't been in this store for years due to a few bad experiences, but I'll continue to come here.

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.
