- MBMason BardenFeb 7, 20265.0Great experience getting a starter for my car
- SWSonia Loves to WriteJan 24, 20261.0I had a very disappointing experience at this location today. There were only a few customers in the store, all near the counter. I had already placed and paid for an online order and was there solely to pick it up. While standing at the register, I asked a staff member if any larger generators were available and was told no. Moments later, another customer, a white male who had not placed an order and was simply hoping inventory might still be available, asked the same question. Staff went into the back and returned saying they had a larger generator and asked him if he wanted it. They placed it directly into his cart and allowed him to proceed to checkout. I spoke up and stated clearly that I had asked first. There was no acknowledgment, no pause, and no attempt to address or correct the situation. They allowed the transaction to move forward without question, even allowing him to buy it before handing me my order that was already placed online and paid for. I understand that stores can be busy, especially with a winter storm approaching. However, this was not a crowded or confusing situation. I was already the customer being helped, with a paid order, and had been explicitly told no moments earlier. The only thing that changed was whose voice was prioritized. This interaction felt dismissive and reflective of both racial and gender bias. Whether intentional or not, the outcome was clear...and the choice was made both for and against me.

- CECharles EdmondsOct 23, 20254.0Not the closest store to me but they had the parts available. The order was ready within the hour. The counter representative was cordial. I will continue to support Advance Auto Parts at this and other locations.

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.
