- SCSuzy ClapsaddleOct 26, 20255.0I was in the Advance Auto store a couple of months ago and had the most wonderful kid help me out. His name was Braeden Deckard. He was able to get the hood of my Jeep undone and quiet possibly save me hundreds of dollars. He was extremely nice and very helpful which is hard to find there days. I hope that Advance Auto realizes what a great worker they have and are able to keep him. You definitely have a repeat customer after that experience.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
