- JCJoe CampFeb 18, 20265.0Never thought I would be so impressed by an individual at a parts store I would write a review about him. By the way I own a small auto/marine sales & service business in Elizabethtown IN. My experience with store 6177 & Micheal. Time 17:33 Feb 18 Honestly I have never had a good interaction at a parts store.... Then walks in the Mythical man(Michael) with awesome hair & even as busy as he was he still greeted every customer. This Man exceeded every expectation I could ever have while purchasing a yacht but the difference is this man wasn't selling a million dollar boat, he was selling car parts and truck bed liner. I've been in and around sales/customer service my entire life. Ive known some of the best sales people this country has to offer. Record breakers. But right Here in this little town In the middle of no where Indiana I believe I just found one of the best natural salespeople to ever do it! When is the last time you spent $37 & got treated like your buying your own private Jet? Seriously. Give this man a standing ovation and Advance Auto Execs get this man locked down! You do not want him to go to a competitor! I promise you that much! Make him the CEO if you have to, he is a generational talent & honestly I don't even think he knows! He should be selling yachts and private jets. Just so everyone knows, I've never met this man before. I always use AutoZone, O'Reilly or Napa but a deal online drew me in and I will be back just because of Micheal. If advance doesn't pay this man and move him into lead sales over the entire company somebody should hire him. Outstanding. 10/10 from an old car guy who has seen it all! Sincerely,

- JNJimmy NelsonJun 17, 20165.0Very knowledgeable experienced staff. Top quality parts. Prices may be a little higher, but you won't have to do the same job again and again because of poor quality parts. Excellent service and excellent warranty. Butch

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.
