Came in today and had the pleasure of being serviced by Chris. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable, but also took the extra time to check my alternator and starter and then cleaned the battery cables and the whole battery compartment. I bought the best battery because of him and got the 3 year warranty. Best customer service experience I’ve ever had at an Advance discount auto store.

We were having issues with our battery, went to get it diagnosed and Carl provided absolutely stellar customer service. Helped us properly diagnose our issues, while enduring the biting wind with a smile. If you go to this auto parts store, ask for Carl. That man deserves a raise.

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.
