- CGCamryn GeigerApr 11, 20262.0The workers were nice but not very helpful. Waited for about 10 minutes in line just to have to wait another 10 minutes while the worker tried to figure out what part I was even asking for. I needed a hood lift arm but they never did find it on the website or when he searched it would say they didn’t sell that part. Eventually had to leave because we weren’t making any progress and I had to be somewhere else. Went to a different chain auto parts store in the area and they helped me within minutes.

- RBRich BrennanJan 10, 20261.0Called ahead to confirm they could test an alternator. The staff let one person struggle trying to figure it out and never did. Won't be coming here again
- CWCiara W.Nov 17, 20255.0Gabriel, the courteous, professional, and friendly staff member at the 7716 Richmond Hwy store in Alexandria, VA, immediately identified an error in my order. He not only corrected it but also provided me with valuable information about the company that I was unaware of. He even went the extra mile and installed my headlights for me. Thank you so much, Gabriel! I will definitely return to this location.
- GCGrace CallejasNov 14, 20255.0I’m a new driver and i went in not knowing what oil i needed for my car and Gabriel was so super helpful he told me exactly what i needed and helped me out to get an oil bundle deal. He sold me everything i needed to change it myself and on top of that he recommended me other fluids i required for my car which i purchased. Thank you Advanced auto parts i had a great experience, love the employees definitely will 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.
