- BDB D5 days ago5.0Found what I needed within minutes. The staff behind the counter was helpful.
- ABAndre BAug 2, 20252.0Went there to pick up supplies for an oil and filters change. Lots of empty oil filter shelves. No book to determine which filters I need for my vehicle. Indifferent employees that didn’t offer any assistance. I walked out without buying everything that I went there for because of the inconvenience.
- BCBill CJul 13, 20255.0Left my phone at Advanced auto and wanted to thank you for holding on to it. Had to pickup some hoses from AA yesterday and fix truck asap. It was 90F, humid and not a fun day to change a hose and refill. Thank you so much, just picked it up. As usual, friendly customer service and have the parts I need at a fair price.

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.
