Typically an Autozone guy but the one on Napanee is a joke🤦♂️ I was struggling to find the correct brake pads for my application and stopped at advance on the way home for one last effort. The options pulled on the computer first were also incorrect but John went above and beyond to pull multiple parts for comparison, and spending some extra time to in turn find exactly what I was looking for! Good dood👍

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.
