Listen. We drove for over 20 minutes on a bad alternator from Triadelphia to Somerset, PA and barely made it to the Advance Auto parts store. When we arrived, it was like we had entered a hospital ER and the whole team came out to help us. We received exceptional service from both Kelly and Daniel who, when I offered to compensate them, refused and said, "We just want to help people. That's what we're here for." They accurately diagnosed our bad alternator & charged my battery and helped us find a last-minute hotel to stay at! You can't get any better service than that! A++++ service from this store!!

Stop here on our way to DC my wiper blades ripped while it was raining. The women in this store were fabulous! They got me new wiper blades installed them and were just really fun to interact with. They turned a very aggravating situation into a fun pit stop off the road!

My family and I were traveling and as we got to Pennsylvania in the mountains our car started to lose power and would not accelerate. It was skipping and shaking and something was wrong. The check engine light came on so we looked up the nearest parts store and landed at advanced auto parts in Somerset Pennsylvania. I asked if they could run a scanner to see what the issue was. The two gentlemen working gladly ran the scanner and we saw it was a misfire in my cylinder. We looked up the parts to replace and both were in stock. I bought the parts and they asked me if i needed help installing them. The one guy had the needed tools in his personal vehicle and came out and swapped the parts for me.. ( btw... it was pouring down raining as he was out there helping me with my car!).. we got the parts replaced and everything ran smooth! Both men working that helped me were angles for me and my family. The guy at check out gave me great advice about the engine issues just before we left to make sure we got where we were going safe... thank you both! I wish i had names to post. But to the owner... look up who worked at advanced auto in Somerset at 4pm on 2/19/26 and tell them thank you from me and my family! We made it to our destination safe with their help!

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.
