- RRRickOct 27, 20255.0Alex and Yoanka were great! They took care of my bad battery and did the exchange after I had it replaced and took care of the warranty to make sure I didn't have to pay for a new battery.

- LGLinda GSep 14, 20255.0I just learned Chris that worked here has passed away. RIP He was a great person, very knowledgeable and helpful. He worked there a long time. But, now they have another great employee named Wendy. She is a gem! She was very thorough, patient, knowledgeable and above n beyond helpful. I mentioned her to my neighbor and he said "oh yes she is great!" So he already worked with her. I highly recommend going to this Advance Auto.

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.
