- JOJazmin OrtizDec 21, 20185.0The gentleman named ERIC was very attentive. Took the time to walk around the counter and assist us on the floor. He found exactly what we were looking for and even was kind enough to allow us to use the tools to what needed fixing. Also, he made time to give us an estimate on a couple of parts and share some valuable information to our needs. Thanks again Eric, you're a great asset to the company ADVANCE AUTO PARTS👏

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.
