Today Advance Auto Parts won me over as a new customer. Every person working asked if I needed any assistance or helped some way or another. They were very knowledgeable and very friendly. I can't sing their praises enough. I am so thankful for everyone's help today. Hands down one of the best experiences I have had at a Auto store.

The best auto parts store I have ever been to! I’ve been to almost all of them in town and have never gotten help like I’ve gotten here. They’re so nice and super helpful. Norman and Hoot were super helpful, they quickly found out what the problem was and helped me bunches! I will absolutely be back if need be, they’re great people. 😊 I also love people who know how to work on an old vehicle, I’ve got an ‘89!

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.
