Online the part was available at this location, but, when I arrived, they told me it was in West Allis. So, they had to cancel my online order, and it took 2 days to have the funds posted to my account again.

Went in looking for a sensor i had no idea what it was called. I was able to speak with the manager Tim, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. He was able to name the part almost immediately and brought the new one up front for purchase. Front start to finish he was friendly and reliable. 5 stars will be making this my go to store from here on

I’ve needed several jumps lately and kept putting off getting a new battery because I’ve never replaced one myself before. I finally went into advanced auto the other day, after a co-worker had to give me another jump. I hadn’t even looked up what I needed yet, so just went straight to the counter to ask for help. Tim was super friendly and looked up and told me exactly what I needed, and went to just go grab it for me. Then he asked if I needed help putting it in, and offered to do it for me 😭 I was so relieved to not have to figure it out myself in the dark and cold. I should have come in way sooner. Thank you so much again for your help! Will come here again.

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.
