Terrible customer service from ANTHONY. He does not know how things work with the day to day of his job and is completed disconnected from the customer service aspect of his job. I get you’re a parts puller, but knowing how to help paying customers is part of your day to day and job description. If there was an O’reiley’s in westlake, I’d never come here again.

I’ve visited the Advance Auto Parts in Westlake several times recently, I’ve noticed a reoccurring issue with the checkout system.. a few occasions, when purchasing items like oil or wiper blades, the items wouldn’t scan properly. The employees are friendly.. they’ve been as helpful as they can in trying to resolve it, often spending 5-10 minutes troubleshooting (once almost 20!) it seems they have to call over a manager, and the wait time for assistance can sometimes be kinda long, especially when the store is busy.. I waited once 35 minutes. The manager usually ends up manually entering the item. I’m just wondering if there might be a system glitch that could be addressed, as it seems to be a frequent problem. Even the employee, I think Chris, told me it’s been happening a lot since a system update. He told me I’m not the only one who’s complained and he’s very sorry.

By far the friendliest and most helpful staff I've ever encountered. I could see in not only my own interactions, but other customers as well, how genuinely these guys wanted to help their customers. They offered additional assistance depending on the customers specific needs, & went above and beyond for every customer present during my visit, and appeared thrilled to do so.

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.
