Eric at Advance Auto Parts was outstanding to work with. He helped me find the right brakes, rotors, and calipers for my vehicle, got me a great deal, and made the whole process quick and easy. He was knowledgeable, professional, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. Excellent customer service. I'll definitely be back for future parts. Highly recommend asking for Eric if you stop in.

Useless place. They sell 20 different steering wheel covers but nothing to fix your actual car. If you want to pay double for a fluid or want dice in the mirror or a fuzzy seat cover or a set of hubcaps that will fly off going down the road make sure to stop here.

I went into the Union Rd. store today looking for car seat covers, was in the store less then 5 minutes, when i walked out the door there was a chime which i didnt pay any attention to, but the a man come out the door and yelled mam so i turned around and he said did you take something? I turned around and said No, but i walked back into the store and he said well our alarm went off so you must have taken something! I am a 60 yr old woman who works in retail, i am an assistant store manager of a retail store and i would never take something with out paying!!! The customers at the register were looking at me like i was some kind of thief, i said was in the store for less then 5 minutes to see what they had for car seat covers and i asked if they wanted to search me, the guy looked at the female behind the counter who said no just go, but had they searched me i would have got a lawyer cause i did not steal anything! The guy then said just go and again there alarm went off as i was leaving. You just lost a customer because i have always gone there and never been so humiliated.

I am a USN Veteran and this was my first experience at Advanced Auto Parts. I met Jared and he was completely professional as well as knowledgeable about the parts I needed to fix my truck. Jared then went above and beyond that and did the work on my truck for me. Outstanding!
I will return to Advanced Auto Parts due to that first time experience. Thank you Jared.

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.
