- JSJim SchwartzOct 17, 20255.0I go out of my way to shop at this store, located at the quiet northeast part of Chesterton, Indiana.
- RHRiley ヅ HurtSep 20, 20251.0First two times were alright. The most recent time it wasted so much of my time. Should’ve been in and out but my online transaction was made as difficult as possible. Wouldn’t recommend.
- NNNalaq “Nalaq” NalaqJun 29, 20251.0The level of incompetence here is staggering. I have repeatedly given this place opportunities to redeem themselves. They FAIL EVERY TIME!!!!! Even if Advance advertises a 100% off sale, I WILL NOT OBLIGE. I will NEVER return to Advance Auto for any future purchases. In response: I'm not here to hold your hand and engage in feeble mollycoddling. You should know the limitations of your people. The Chesterton Advance Auto has gone so far down-hill there is no longer any hope for it. In a town of this size, one would think there would be fierce competition amongst the THREE auto parts stores! Please , do Chesterton a huge favor and close your doors for good. Perhaps, a knowledgeable businessman can turn that property into a profitable venture AND serve the community in a positive way. As I said, I will NEVER make any further purchases from your store.

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.
