Advanced Auto has always been my families auto parts store. Our local store has fast friendly service. They're knowledgeable and have taken the time to get to know us.
And even when we're away from home and visiting another store, they are as friendly as if you'd been friends forever! I've met a few grumps, and had a couple hiccups, but that's expected.
I give them an A-

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.
