- BRBelkys RodriguezNov 7, 20251.0I’ve been shopping at this advanced auto parts store for over 20 years. I recently purchased a lithium battery for my son’s used car only to find out that it wasn’t a battery that was wrong with the vehicle. So I returned it the following day and I was told that they do not accept returns on batteries. The receipt did not state that nor did anyone tell my husband at the time of purchase, I asked to speak to the manager, and he was rude and told me to put a bad review if I wanted to because he’s not the owner of the store! Don’t make the mistake of shopping in the store. Terrible customer service!!!

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.
