- JGJon GOct 23, 20253.0Most of the time I have a good experience here. But there is a older short overweight man with gray hair. He is always rude. If he is there he is always complaining about how hard he works. Today he acted like I was supposed to know when to enter my phone number as though I worked there. The did nothing to help get the number applied. Super rude.

- EGEric Cullens (The Bula Bible Guys)Jun 24, 20255.0I was having trouble with a low tire that was stressing me out. I stopped by the AutoZone and was assisted by Charles.. has someone who suffered with muscular dystrophy it is hard for me to do anything that requires the use of my hands. Charles was very professional and was a great help in installing the product that was needed to fix my tire. He was very polite and understanding and I really appreciate the excellent service.
- RMRosey McdonaldNov 6, 20235.0When pricing out parts we found advanced auto to way undercut their competitors. Staff never tries to sell you what you don't need. Good service is a plus.

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.
