Went into have my battery checked. In from out of town.
Alex checked my battery and when he was getting ready to swap it out realized that the battery had been bought about a year ago at another advanced auto parts in Colorado Springs. He did a little bit of research in the store and I ended up getting the battery for free because it was still under warranty.
Absolutely had no clue. I really appreciate his “going the extra mile“ to help me out and save me from having to purchase another battery. Not sure if that would’ve happened at another store. Excellent service!

As a single working mom of two kids, I don’t have time or money for car problems. I went to advance in Menomonie for both of my low beam headlights. I’m not exaggerating when I say I’ve gone through 20 sets of lights. ROBERTO SAVED ME!! This guy was genuinely concerned and went above and beyond to test my fuses and my battery and reinstalling my lights with a special goo on the connector…… ROBERTO!!!! He’s my car boyfriend now, he understands this is a very one sided relationship. But give this guy a raise!!!

My battery light was flickering on and off while driving home from Minnesota, so once I got to Menomonie I stopped here to have my battery and alternator tested. Roberto was so nice, he came out to my car, and once I opened the hood he noticed the battery connectors were corroded, he cleaned them then tested everything, it was the corrosion causing the problem. Thank you so much Roberto for everything!

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.
