Dominic at Advance Auto Parts for outstanding service! He helped me with my wiper blades and checked my engine light, and he did it all while being the only person working in the store. Even with everything on his plate, he was patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. It’s rare to see that level of dedication and professionalism, especially when someone is holding down the fort solo. Huge props to Dominic this is customer service done right!

Dominic at Advanced Auto Parts always goes above and beyond every single time I come in. He is friendly, caring, attentive, and genuinely respectful, which honestly makes a big difference. When I needed a new battery for my car, he walked me through all the options more than once, explained the pros and cons, and made sure I fully understood where my money was going before I decided. You can tell he has a lot of knowledge, and if he can’t personally help with something, he always knows exactly where to send you. He also took the time to read and explain the codes on my car when my check engine light came on, breaking everything down in a way that actually made sense. On top of that, he helped me replace a windshield wiper and showed me how to install it myself for next time. Advanced Auto Parts needs more people like Dominic in this industry — I will definitely be back. Amazing customer service, and Dominic is the reason I keep coming back.

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.
