- DSDarsha StuartNov 5, 20255.0My battery died for the 3rd time in 3 months and I had it jumped about 8p on Tues. Nov 4, 2025. I decided to go to Advance Auto Parts on the corner of Beal Pkwy and Hollywood Blvd to have someone test my battery. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they did free checks AND free installation. I did not get the young mans name that assisted me but he treated me like I was his first customer of the day not his last. Thank you for your pleasant and supportive customer service.
- AWArnett WashingtonOct 17, 20255.0Battery died so came into store on Beal Pkwy to have it checked. Battery was no good, new battery was required. I normally prefer to buy my batteries at AutoZone but Will the technician did a price comparison and offered me a solution that fit my budget. He installed my battery quickly and answered other concerns and questions I had not related to the service received. Will was super nice, friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this location as the service was great. Awesome job Will and thank you so much easing my worries and providing me with great assistance.
- JJJJ JacobSep 18, 20255.0I just wanted to give a quick thanks to Devyn at the Hollywood Blvd and Beal Parkway location. He definitely listened to my questions/concern, which put me at ease with my engine issues. I definitely appreciate knowledgeable associates that are helpful for simple questions like mine. Great team at that location. 👍

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.
