- TMThomas Leonard, M.Ed.Jul 17, 20255.0Always has the parts I'm looking for and friendly staff.
- MVMaria Valencia-TorresJun 12, 20252.0I was told by the mechanic nearby to go and get a refund on a part I purchased at Advance Auto Parts. I did not have the receipt with me because I had purchased the part at another store the day before and kept the receipt at home. The store declined to refund me the money and they stated that the stores are not linked. I made the purchase with a debit card and I have a rewards account with them. They could have easily found the transaction with my phone # but refused to do anything about it.

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.
