My experiece with Advance Auto Parts was very good. I ordered auto parts and fluids online and picked them up within an hour at another location because the one closest to my home was out of stock.

I usually go here but im not going to this location again. Two people told me there are no flat head screw drivers. I offered to pay more money for quality then the employees said they do have flatheads for more money. One employee advised if I want tools I'd have better luck at Walmart. At no time did I ask for the cheapest tools, they assumed I was looking for cheap tools. Is it because I was wearing a skirt? Could be.

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.
