- OOOblivion6 days ago5.0I thought my car battery was broken. I had left my car sitting for a week, and it wouldn’t start. I brought the battery in to get it replaced because it was under warranty, but after checking it, they said it was just dead. They offered to charge it for free, and after about an hour bam! I put it back in my car and it worked great. The staff was incredibly kind and knowledgeable. I’m not a car person at all, so I was grateful for their patience and insight. I would definitely come again!
- GHGrant HensonJul 24, 20255.0I can't speak to any other Advance Auto Parts, but every associate I've interacted with here has been pleasant, knowledgeable and (bonus) funny. As a car unenthusisast, I'm always a bit wary of judgment or oversale when it becomes clear that I have very little knowledge about maintenance or upkeep. Not once have I ever felt like I was being oversold, patronized, or judged by the employees here. Particular shout out to the young person who walked me through each step in changing a battery, which he came in early to complete for me so that I could get to my event. Much appreciation to everyone who works here.

- JFJay FreshwaterJul 5, 20255.0Let me tell you about this Advance Auto Parts by describing what their team member Cody did today. An engine coolant alert on my daughter’s car went off while she was 100 miles from home. She made it into this Whitewater location and had the good fortune to have Cody help her. He took his time to inspect and assess the likely cause. It wasn’t going to be something that can be fixed with a purchase from the store, so he even offered to hold the key while waiting for the tow truck to arrive. Cody was a patient and friendly subject matter expert and I’m lucky he was taking care of us today.

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.
