I had a great experience at Advance Auto Parts in Rockford, Illinois. Zavier helped me find the parts I needed for my vehicle, and he did it with zero attitude — which really stood out. He was patient, knowledgeable, and gave helpful feedback the whole time. It’s not every day you come across customer service like that. Big thanks to Zavier for making the whole process smooth and stress-free!

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.
