- TJT. jayNov 14, 20255.0I came into the store today as I was having extreme problems with my battery went to AutoZone and it was horrible service , I came here and ran into Andy. Andy exceeds what customer service looks like, he was kind annd patient and ,you can tell his overall personality shows that he is a great person in general. I was very overwhelmed and frustrated. When I came in he was very calm. He explained everything to me. He helped me out greatly. I ended up with a new battery He placed in and, let me know everything I needed to know pertaining to the battery. He explained everything detailing. He was just very helpful. It might be a small thing, but Him be as patient and as kind as he was to me, change the dynamic of how frustrated I was with dealing with the replacement of my battery. Everybody should model after the customer service he gives he took his time. He listened to me he was I also let him know that my dad brought me the car and had recently passed away and he extended His condolences to Me. He’s a great young man with a promising future. You guys are lucky to have him. Thanks again, Andy for your time and your care and your great customer service because of you. I will frequent advance auto. Tjay!

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.
