I had a really disappointing experience with this store’s closing manager while trying to pick up an online order. My confirmation email specifically instructed customers to call for curbside pickup, so that’s exactly what I did. What’s even more frustrating is that I’ve been to this location multiple times, and I’ve used their curbside service before. So I know that’s something they’ve offered. When I called, the employee was immediately rude and dismissive, insisting they didn’t offer curbside service. When I explained I was simply following the instructions in my email, he continued to be unprofessional. He eventually came outside, identified himself as the closing manager, and made it seem like providing curbside service was some sort of special courtesy for me, rather than something I’d already been instructed to request. The interaction got worse when he asked me to open my car door, and after I did, he slammed it shut really hard before walking away. As a black woman, I left feeling disrespected and discriminated against by how I was treated. I understand policies may change, but there is no excuse for treating a customer that way, especially when they’re following instructions and have used the service before. I hope management takes this seriously and addresses both the behavior and how customers are treated at this location.

Three days ago, I bought a product that turned out to be defective. I’ve tried to return or exchange it, but they haven’t offered a solution; instead, they told me to call the company.

The people here really saved me when my car kept dying on me. I came in to ask if they could test my battery and they ended up spending so much time helping me before I even purchased anything from them. It felt like everyone I met there was invested in getting my car working again. The new manager is so friendly and patient. He gave me a lot of honest advice about what I might need and how to save money getting everything fixed. The other team members there seemed really passionate about their work. Thank you all for getting me through that, I’ll definitely trust you again next time!

I had such an amazing experience at Advance Auto Parts Store #7308, all thanks to Darrin!
He was truly an angel—so kind, patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely willing to help.
As a woman, sometimes dealing with car-related issues can feel intimidating, but Darrin made the entire experience so easy and comfortable. He went above and beyond to make sure I was taken care of, and I truly appreciated his kindness and professionalism.
I hope his manager recognizes and congratulates him for his outstanding customer service! Employees like Darrin are exactly why customers keep coming back to Advance Auto Parts. He represents the company exceptionally well, and I hope every customer gets to experience the same wonderful service I received.
Thank you so much, Darrin! You made my day, and I will definitely be coming back! ❤️

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.
