I'd give Advance Auto Parts 4 out of 5 stars.
They usually have a good selection of parts, and the staff has generally been helpful. My biggest complaint is the inconsistency. Pricing, inventory, and overall management seem to vary quite a bit from one store to another, so your experience really depends on which location you visit.
Lately, I've also noticed their prices are often higher than some of their competitors, which makes it harder to justify shopping there unless it's for convenience or they have the part in stock.
Overall, it's still a solid place to get auto parts. In many ways, it's the McDonald's of auto parts stores—it's everywhere, you generally know what you're going to get, and it's reliable enough when you need something quickly. It's not always the best value, but it's a dependable option.

Just want to add that the young man who helped us was fantastic! He put forth the extra effort to help. We couldn't even figure out where to put the motor oil into the engine. It was a 2023 Hyundai Santa Cruz Limited. Anyhow, he did and we hope he reads this and gets the positive recognition he deserves.

How much does a car battery cost?
A traditional lead/acid car battery can range between $60-$120. The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
