Craig at Advance Auto Parts on Blanding Boulevard is an absolute standout. He’s the kind of genuinely helpful, knowledgeable professional every auto parts store wishes they had. From the moment you walk in, Craig’s personality shines. He is friendly, patient, and clearly committed to making sure customers get exactly what they need.

If every store had a Craig, the world of auto service would be a whole lot better. Five stars all the way.

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.
