- CDChris Duff3 days ago1.0Don’t buy your parts from advance or any other parts dealer in town. You can get it on Amazon for less than a half the price same parts.
- JJJoshlynn JonesOct 27, 20255.0I want to give Ella at the Mechanicsville location near Publix. She performed excellent customer service as she went above and beyond. She was willing to stay and wait for me to arrive 5 mins before closing as I was in need of a new car battery after waiting to get a jump from my roadside assistance. Ella you are awesome!!!!
- NGNATIONAL seamless guttersSep 15, 20251.0They are very lazy, they do not serve the customer, they want the customer to just look for what they need, I do not recommend this place.
- ACAbigail CaseySep 12, 20251.0If I could give zero stars I would. The customer service was awful. I needed help determining which coolant I needed for my car. I know my car runs specifically Zerex but I wasn't sure which one. The guy gave me Universal Prestone 50/50 mix (which is the bright green) and I asked for zerex alternatives, knowing the color of my coolant is a red/orange color. He said "why did you even ask me for help then if you know what you need". I explained that I don't know what I need, I just know it's not green. He said "I don't know what to tell you, it's Propylene Glycol and water." and I said "I would figure it out" to which he replied in a very snarky manner "good luck with that". So I left the store. It's one thing to assume I don't know much about cars but it's another to be unnecessarily rude about it. For the record, I have a PhD in Chemical Engineering and green coolant is not propylene glycol, it's ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol, whereas the very red/orange coolant is 2-ethylhexanoic acid. These two are incompatible and cannot be mixed. Not only was he rude, he was incompetent.

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.
