- JGJoshua GrossFeb 4, 20265.0I’ve been coming to the 16th Ave Advance Auto Parts since they were originally across the street where Cassill Motors is now. I am extremely grateful for the people at this store. The team members at this location are absolutely phenomenal—I honestly couldn’t ask for a better parts crew. I request Tim on a regular basis because Tim is awesome, and our shop dog absolutely loves him.
- MAMichael “Out and About”Jan 1, 20265.0My go to for car parts; friendly and knowledgeable staff. I stopped in a couple of weeks ago for a battery and alternator check and met Helary. She came out and did the diagnostics and while any other store may have tried to up sell me a new battery, she recommended that the battery should be charged and drive the vehicle more often. I really appreciated her honesty. She is a very nice young lady and a true asset to the store. I would give her 10 stars if I could.

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.
