- TGTED GORTONDec 27, 20255.0With me running my business in the evenings and weekends I mainly deal with Brandon and Josh. Those two have bent over backwards to help me stay running, with me being a one man show it’s hard to do everything and track down parts. I do 98% of all my business with Advanced Auto, if it wasn’t for those two I honestly don’t know what I would do! For one when I call I need my parts now and those two understand and I never have to worry about not getting my parts. My orders have been messed up a few times and with me operating outside normal hours I can’t come in nor can I make phone calls during the day because of the demand of my full time job so I spend all my time working with Brandon and Josh and they have fixed the issues every time! They are lifesavers!
- MLMichiana Music Therapy LLCDec 17, 20255.0Brandon provided us with excellent service. He was kind, patient, and very professional. We will definitely be back.
- SSSandi ShaneDec 7, 20254.0Due to a mix up, there was no record of my battery purchased a year ago. With the help of Josh, he was able to solve the problem immediately and provide me with the proper information I needed. Thank you Josh for your expertise.
- CPChelsie PickensDec 7, 20255.0Josh was awesome! Helped me figure out a part on my van that I've been having trouble with and got me the best value for a new part! Thank you! I'll definitely be coming back.
- JTJaxxon TrippNov 25, 20255.0The new asst. manager Josh has been absolutely fantastic. Always friendly and helpful! I will be returning to this store from now on simply because of Josh and his customer service!

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.
