- DPDarlene PerrySep 12, 20251.0I go into advance auto at 930 am no one else in the store. Ask to get my battery tested on my truck. He looked outside at my truck the back at me says it’s gonna be awhile and started throwing all these excuses of why he couldn’t do it right now.

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.
