I went into the Rivers Ave Advanced Auto Parts location near Target to return the incorrect tail light for the correct one. I walked in and was greeted by two employees. After a brief wait I was assisted by Taurean. He was professional and pleasant however his female co worker was not. As I was being assisted she continuously interrupted asking questions about movies and plans that had nothing to do with work. She scrolled on her phone and ignored the customers that came in after me. She was unprofessional and certainly not customer focused.

I’ve had to of gone to over 50 different advanced autos in my life. This is the worst customer service and supposedly the part isn’t in stock even though it said it was in stock, that guy probably just couldn’t find it.

I was just here and had the worst experience. Im a teenage girl and my air intake clamp needs to replaced and was having trouble finding it. The worker rolled his eyes when I was trying to get his attention and was acting like I was inconveniencing him because I didn’t know the size, thinking he would’ve helped me. So I just walked out and took my business elsewhere. Do not recommend coming here.

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.
