⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5-Star Review – Advance Auto (Arlington Blvd)
If you’re dealing with car battery issues, skip the dealership BS and go see Dave Coudriet at Advance Auto on Arlington Boulevard. This guy is the real deal — knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely gives a damn about helping people.
I walked in stressed out after getting quoted nearly $400 for a battery at Bill Page Honda, and Dave didn’t just sell me the right battery — he saved me a ton of money, installed it right there on the spot, and even tested my alternator for free. He treated my car like it was his own, took the time to explain everything, and made sure I left with peace of mind.
Bill Page Honda wouldn’t even answer a simple yes-or-no warranty question without demanding $200 upfront. Dave? He had answers, tools, and solutions — no games, no runaround.
Do yourself a favor — if you have any issues with your battery, alternator, or just want honest help, go see Dave first. He’s the kind of employee every business wishes they had, and I can’t recommend him enough.

I came 7 minutes before closing time and it was the 3rd pf July, needed an Obd scanner and the nice gentlemen gave it to me and explained the code afterwards with no hesitation and a big smile on their faces.
May god bless them!

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.
