- ERElaine RiveraOct 27, 20255.0Yesterday afternoon, I had some car trouble at the circle k gas station on 436. A guy by the name of Joey who had Advance Auto parts logo on his shirt helped me out and got me going again. He said he worked up the street and just got of the clock. I truly appreciate him going out his way for me. Nice to see people like him are still out there. Thank you Joey!

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.
