I had an awesome experience at this Advanced Auto Parts! Freddy helped me out, and even though he said he’s still studying car repair and maintenance, he works like a total pro. Super quick, friendly, and professional service. He had my battery replaced in no time. Highly recommend this location, especially if you need a battery replacement!

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.
