The Advance Auto Parts in Lewes, Delaware has excellent customer service, as well as competitive prices. I was very impressed that minutes after I placed an order, the local store contacted me with availability information, and I picked the product up the next morning. It is rare these days to find a retail business that is attentive to its customers. I highly recommend 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.
