My family stopped here to buy cleaning products to clean an unfortunate car sickness incident. My dad went inside and was able to use their restroom. I go in shortly after to wash up and they say the bathroom was closed. My dad walked back inside with me in case it was for customers only and they say the hallway that leads to the bathroom had too many hazards and still refused to bring me to the bathroom my dad was brought to minutes before.

Melissa is the best commercial rep I have worked with throughout my mechanical career. She goes above and beyond to find correct parts and she doesn’t stop until she finds it. She represents the Advance Auto company very well. It needs to be acknowledged for all her hard work and effort that she put into this company. Thank you Melissa for always helping out not just your commercial side but the customers that just walk in keep up the great work!!!

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.
