I love the staff here.
If you’re lucky, Earl will be there to help you with anything you need! Twice now he has helped me with issues I have had with my van and has always been spot on! Thanks so much for keeping my panic at bay and helping me know what I need or suggestions on what to do next.

I just want to say thank you to Earl and Nick for the best customer service I’ve ever had at advance. At first was really scared to even ask for help because the Advance in Miami would have kicked us out of the store (true story)They helped me and my partner when we were in a bind heading north. I told Earl the Advance Auto parts in Miami could learn from these guys in Melbourne.

Came here to store # 07362 5 minutes before closing because my son’s battery died at the gas station down the street and was not charging with jumper cables. Earl went above and beyond by offering to come down to the gas station after the store closed and help us replace his battery. He met us, changed the battery and made sure the car started as well as took the old battery. He was so pleasant and helpful. I do hope his manager knows what an asset he is to the company. Thank you Earl!

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.
