- TGTiki GeorgeNov 3, 20255.0I needed a battery. They checked it out with a meter and diagnosed the issue. They had a great battery at a good price. The store manager installed it for me. I know that is what Advance Auto does, but he went above and beyond. Kudos.

- JTJeff ThalSep 14, 20255.0These guys are top notch. My battery died in my driveway right down the street from them. It was raining, a Sunday, and almost closing time. HUGE props to Toni, who drove on over, tested the battery, drove me back to purchase a new one, and she drove back and installed the new battery. She went beyond the call of duty. Super friendly and excellent 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.
