- JDJohn DoeDec 20, 20253.0Google maps is erroneously reporting location. THERE IS NO ADVANCE AUTO HERE!
- JLJeffrey LockDec 18, 20252.0Went in today as one of my front headlights went out. Needed H7 bulbs and saw there was a 2 year warranty on H7 LEDs. Purchased the Sylvania brand and went out to the parking lot to install but found out that the physical housing that the bulbs sit in on my headlights doesn't accommodate the increased size of the actual LEDs with their fans on the back. Go back inside and ask if I can exchange, the cashier goes and asks his manager. He comes back and says they should fit in my vehicle but he cannot process a return on these or exchange them even though they were bought 15 minutes ago. Purchased the normal halogen bulbs that do actually fit and told them to throw the now useless brand new LEDs away, because they are useless to me. Unfortunate interaction as as far as I can tell these bulbs are not part of the non return policy. I wouldn't recommend shopping here if you can avoid it. The cashier was pleasant and apologetic.
- BKBryan KiDec 15, 20255.0Today was one of the coldest days we’ve had, and like many others, my car battery died. When I arrived at the store, there were already two cars ahead of me waiting for 12V battery replacements. Despite the weather and the busy situation, there was one hardworking employee going back and forth, replacing batteries one by one. He was the only person authorized to do the installations, yet he remained professional, patient, and friendly with every customer. I was truly impressed by his work ethic and excellent customer service under pressure. The experience was smooth and well handled despite the circumstances. I will definitely return to this store again and highly recommend it.

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.
