I came in a few weeks ago with a problem from another store sown at chelton ave. The young lady named Rachel helped me out and got me the correct part. 3 weeks later i came back because come to find out I did not need it. Even though it was past the time I could return it, she did it anyway and also got me another part I thought I needed. Fast forward to today, and it turns out I didn't need that one either. My son in law damaged the part and Rachel still returned it for me. I am an older man so money is scarce. Rachel was amazing and helped me out tremendously. Because of her I will always be a customer of advance auto.

The manager to this store is horrible. She didn't want to solve my issue with the defective part, and had a real bad attitude. She didn't want to give me my refund, so I told her that I wasn't going to argue about money, they can have the part as I displayed my disgust, and that I'll take the loss, and as I went to leave the store, she took the part and threw it at me on top of the counter. Not professional at allllll. I contacted Corporate and they need to look at the recordings, and fire her. 06/06/26. I Whet to the other store on Levick, and they immediately solved my issue.

Took way to long to answer the phone at 10:30 am. Called to price a battery. Unfortunately it took over 25 minutes and no response other than "please hold". Won't be getting my business like ever. Too bad.

I want to take a moment to compliment your employee Maria. She was extremely pleasant and helpful. I called the store to inquire about a part I needed, and she went above and beyond searching for two different variations on my behalf since I wasn’t completely sure which one I needed.Once she confirmed the item was in stock, she had it ready at the counter. Unfortunately, I realized I needed the other version due to my own mistake. Even then, she remained patient, understanding, and immediately retrieved the correct part without hesitation. I truly appreciated how she made me feel yesterday—like a valued customer. Thank you so much, Maria.

I went to the store to get a part for my vehicle. A woman that I spoke with attitude was unpleasant she was was very nonchalant and snaky while eating her noodles in front of me very unprofessional from what I observed. She would give me a hard time about me having a commercial account as if I was lieing about having one after giving her my credentials. Service should had been better all around, especially when I asked for 5 1/2 box in wrench availability. Ma'am if you dont want to work there quit! I know there are other people in the city that will gladly do your job with a welcoming disposition. I could say more about other actors but I'll digress.

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.
