- WGWilliam Gibbs2 days ago5.0It was wonderful and Monica is great plus I got a lot of things I needed with her help thank you advance auto for being wonderful
- SSSoulJaTzun M.D. (SoulJaTzun)Jun 24, 20265.0Very friendly and helpful. Staff acknowledge you as soon as you walk in.
- KKKevinJun 22, 20265.0Exact parts. Very friendly knowledgeable staff.
- JIJohn IckesJun 15, 20265.0My wife and I stopped in for a minor purchase ... wiper blades. The first gentleman we saw greeted us, and it really came across as sincere. Then we met Monica D. and it took on another dimension. She was warm and welcoming, and walked us through what we needed, what our options were (and NOT solely the most expensive brand!), explained the warranty and then installed the blades. That may not sound like a great deal, but it was a delightful experience with a professional who really does know what customer service is all about. Are we going back there? Oh, my goodness, yes!
- MNMan NordstromJun 9, 20261.0Absolutely terrible customer service from Monica. I purchased a tool just four days ago and never even had the chance to use it before being told it was defective. Despite the tool carrying a lifetime warranty, Monica was unable or unwilling to provide a refund, and the replacement item was conveniently out of stock. When I asked a simple question about when the item would be available again, I was met with a rude attitude, dismissive responses, and complete lack of professionalism. Instead of trying to help resolve the issue, Monica acted as though my concerns were an inconvenience. Customer service is supposed to assist customers, not make them feel brushed off and unwelcome. I left extremely disappointed with both the handling of the warranty claim and the disrespectful treatment I received. If this is the level of service customers can expect, I would strongly reconsider doing business here again.

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.
