Advance Auto Parts: Car Engine Batteries & Brakes
Car Engine Batteries
Your car’s battery is responsible for starting the engine and providing power to the electrical system. Over time, batteries can lose their ability to hold a charge, which can lead to problems starting your car. If you’re having trouble starting your car, it’s important to have your battery tested to see if it needs to be replaced.
When choosing a new car battery, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
- Battery size: The battery size is determined by the Group Size, which is a code that indicates the battery’s physical dimensions and terminal arrangement.
- Cold Cranking Amps (CCA): CCA measures the battery’s ability to start your car in cold weather. The higher the CCA, the better the battery will perform in cold temperatures.
- Reserve Capacity (RC): RC measures the battery’s ability to power your car’s electrical system in the event of a failure of the alternator.

Car Brakes
Your car’s brakes are responsible for slowing down and stopping the vehicle. Over time, brake pads and rotors can wear down, which can reduce braking performance. If you’re noticing that your car is taking longer to stop or if you’re hearing squealing or grinding noises when you brake, it’s important to have your brakes inspected.
When choosing new brake pads and rotors, there are a few things you need to keep in mind:
- Brake pad material: Brake pads are made from a variety of materials, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Some of the most common brake pad materials include ceramic, semi-metallic, and organic.
- Rotor type: Rotors are the discs that the brake pads clamp down on to stop the car. There are two main types of rotors: solid rotors and vented rotors. Vented rotors are more expensive, but they provide better cooling and can last longer.
- Vehicle weight: The weight of your vehicle will affect the type of brake pads and rotors you need. Heavier vehicles require more powerful brakes.
Advance Auto Parts offers a wide selection of brake pads and rotors from top brands like Wagner, Bendix, and Raybestos. Our team of experts can help you choose the right brake pads and rotors for your car and budget.
