- RRRowdy RejholecDec 11, 20252.0Was told part would be next day and wasn’t. When asked the cashier became rude and didn’t care that the information was wrong on the screen when asked me to verify and told him it was wrong. Thankful the part worked
- COChristian Bierkamp (Ironic Ore)Nov 11, 20255.0Staff here are always cool, shop is always clean.
- MWMichael WentworthOct 10, 20255.0I ran into a seized caliper while traveling for work, and James and Damian went above and beyond. I had already diagnosed the issue, but they had the parts, lent me tools, and helped in every way they could to get me back on the road. These guys truly care about their job and their customers, Advance Auto is lucky to have them. Highly recommend both!

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.
