- CJCharles JonesOct 11, 20254.0Patrick who was helping someone else ran up to me and advised he would be right with me. He came and would not leave intil my issue was resolved as well as guiding me through potential issues to cross them out.
- MCMadi CowanJul 29, 20255.0I’ve been all over hell’a half acre this morning looking for a part and Patrick not only found it for me but he fixed my problem in under a minute. These guys are fabulous.
- MKMatt K.Jun 17, 20251.0The air filter in my photos was damaged by an employee who packed this "pickup order" for me. It was jammed into the bottom of a big box along with a few other parts I had ordered. I didn't see this until I got home and unloaded the box. I went to this location because it was the only Advance within a 50 mile area that had this part in-stock. Needless to say, I won't be going to this location anymore.

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.
