- HKHolly KnightMar 24, 20265.0The whole team here is so helpful! Amanda, the manager went above and beyond to help me fix my headlight issue!
- JCJeffrey CarpenterMar 18, 20261.0Gave 1 star because that was a low as it would let me go so they refuse to give me the correct change back after a purchase in a very rude young man was behind the counter and said we got a sign on the door. I didn’t see the sign that said that they was allowed to steal money from anybody I was willing to pay their price, but they were not willing to give me my change. I understand they are not making pennies any longer, but they need to round it up and put it in the customers favor this young man said he didn’t care that ever every store in this county was doing it and I run a business of my own and I do not. I give correct change or rounded to their favor. They have lost a customer today. I will never buy anything from advanced auto again I went to the NAPA store down the street bought the same product and they gave me correct change
- JMJohn McDowellMar 17, 20265.0Good service here. I was passing through town and running late when my van threw a brake pad... I called ahead and they had my parts (and hand cleaner) waiting when I arrived. I made a quick repair in the parking lot, and continued on my trip..
- AWAddison WoodFeb 26, 20261.0rude lady up front wasn’t very happy to see people… not only on her phone the entire time but hitting her vape right in the front of the store.

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.
