- TITeresa Iovinelli2 days ago5.0Excellent customer service from Tom and Brandan. I was in a dilemma about low oil and they totally gave me 100% effort to correct my situation, including adding oil to my engine and maki g sure i had enough to get me home safely without damaging my engine. Will definitely shop this store in the future
- KVkirk vazquez4 days ago1.0I wouldn’t purchase anything from the store. I purchased an oil filter and the oil filter was faulty. I purchased three brake calipers three and all three were faulty. The banjo bolt will not secure in side the brake caliber I’ve never experienced anything like this from any aftermarket parts retailer but this one I’ve experienced nothing but trouble and time wasted, and then when I try to do same-day delivery, on the app. It says the quantity is not enough like I just spent over $400 on calibers and none of them work and then when I try to order them again the app is saying it’s not enough. This is the only retailer I’ve ever experienced this kind of trouble with the only and I’ve been doing business with them for years. I’ve just recently started experiencing this. It’s so crazy.
- CCChristina CammarataJun 1, 20261.0God awful, no one knows what’s going on, they don’t know a lot about their products, the one lady was calling the manager it seemed names when he turned around. She then pretended to look for my product while eating a sandwich in the back. She then said they didn’t have it when the website said they had multiple. Just don’t go
- RPRobert PrusinskiApr 26, 20265.0Sales person Debbie and Sharron was very helpful and really nice thank you!
- RGRyan GilliganApr 19, 20265.0Bill at advanced auto parts is probably the best customer service rep ever! A wealth of info!!!

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.
