- DCDaana CanadyOct 18, 20255.0Huge Shoutout to Justin at Advance Auto Parts! I wanted to share an exceptional experience I had with Justin at Advance Auto Parts on SE 14th st next to Walmart. When I came in, I was dealing with a stressful car issue, stranded, and worried about getting home. What made Justin truly stand out wasn't just his knowledge—it was his character. He was incredibly sympathetic to my financial situation and my urgent need to get back on the road. Instead of pushing the most expensive parts, he actually asked about my budget range and worked within it, finding the perfect solution. He also took the time to explain the entire repair process, giving me confidence in the fix. In a world where it often feels like companies prioritize profits, Justin genuinely lives by a different standard. He even told me he "rather invest in people" than just sell parts. That attitude is rare and invaluable. To the management team at Advance Auto Parts: Justin is a hero and a role model. He saves customers, earns loyalty, and lives your company values. He absolutely deserves immediate recognitio for delivering this kind of superior service and care. Thank you, Justin, for helping me get home safely!

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.
