Best Advance Auto Parts I've been to. As a woman it was my first time handling a car situation like this on my own and I have to say the team made an incredible first impression. They were approachable, patient, full of common sense, and treated me with real respect. They actually listened and made sure I understood what I needed. Genuine, knowledgeable, and clearly proud of what they do. They represent their company really well and I'll absolutely be coming back here for any future car needs. Highly recommend!

I have nothing but positive things to say about Byron, the sales associate who went above and beyond yesterday morning.
I decided to be an adult and challenge myself in installing some windshield wipers and headlights by myself that morning. Byron constantly checked in on me, offered me continuous support, and even demonstrated how to install the windshield wipers and the light bulb in so I could try it myself. He was my personal hype man. I wouldn’t have been able to do it without his help.
When I tried to tip him, he refused and was completely humble about the entire situation. Throughout that entire day, I couldn’t stop thinking about his support and his great customer service. I’m truly grateful for him!
I hope Byron receives recognition for the exceptional customer service he provides. Employees like him make a huge difference in the customer experience.

I'm extremely disappointed with my recent experience at Advanced Auto Parts and their inflexible return policy.
A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a 4 Way Tire Iron Wrench when my car was stranded with a flat tire. Unfortunately, when I attempted to use it, the wrench wasn't long enough to provide adequate leverage to loosen the lug nuts. As a result, I had no choice but to have my vehicle towed to a service center, which cost me additional money and time.
Today, I returned to the store to get a refund for a product that simply didn't work for its intended purpose. The staff at the counter refused to accept the return, stating that because the tool had been used, they couldn't take it back. I explained that I had only tried using it once to discover it was inadequate for the job, but they were unwilling to make an exception. Instead, they only offered me the option to exchange it for something else in the store.
I find this policy unreasonable. How can you determine if a tool works without actually using it? The whole point of buying emergency roadside equipment is to have it work when you need it most. This product failed to do its job, yet I'm stuck with it or forced to exchange for merchandise I may not need.
I've never encountered this type of inflexible return policy at any other auto parts store. This experience has completely eroded my trust in Advanced Auto Parts, and I will be taking my business elsewhere in the future. I do not recommend shopping here if you value customer service and reasonable return policies.

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.
