Britany the store manager was EXTREMELY rude and unprofessional not only in the store but on the phone call after . Surprised me that SHE is the head of the store . It’s no way I’m the only one she was so blatantly disrespectful with over a car part . Which is her job to help people find their parts . Wouldn’t go against and wouldn’t recommend anyone else to go is she’s the help either .

Over a three -day period, I needed diagnostics run on my car, and needed to replace my old battery. Harris was on the clock both times, and was friendly and helpful. He installed my car's new battery, and even offered to throw away the old hood liner that was dangling down. Thanks, Harris!

Today I purchased wiper blades at the Fort Ave Advance Auto Parts store. It was pouring rain outside and my wipers were shot, creating very poor visibility, so I stopped at this location and got a set of wiper blades. The gentleman there went out in the POURING rain and installed them himself. I don't know his name but he wears his hair long. He's actually waited on me another time before and was super nice and helpful that time as well. There was another gentleman that helped assist me with the wiper blades purchase, he was also super nice and helpful. Everyone in the store was so kind to me today. I can't say enough good things about this place and their employees. They go above and beyond. Thank you guys so much for the amazing service!

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.
