They have a good variety of products, competitive prices, and excellent service, but they don't keep regular business hours like their competitors; there have been times on Sundays or at night when I needed to ask about parts and found them closed, which drives me straight to the shop across the street or to AutoZone. I noticed they replied to my comment, but then immediately deleted the reply... why?

Mark and Noah are absolutely incredible human beings extremely helpful extremely kind I mean honestly one of the best experiences I’ve ever had at any retail establishment ever. I’m in multiple businesses I deal with all sorts of people every single day. I got all sorts of different stores and transactions, and in all of my years, one of most enjoyable experiences, dealing with the staff here very knowledgeable and very human is absolutely refreshing. If I move to Michigan one day I will still only shop at this advanced auto parts store. I will literally fly from Michigan or Oklahoma or Maine just to shop here just so that I can do business with Mark and Noah.

These guys are courteous, knowledgable, and professional. Always a warm welcome the times I've been here. I accidentally purchased a part that I didn't want and the return + exchange could not have been made easier. Thank you for the help Raymond!

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.
