I left because there was only 1 person helping everyone. I bought my battery and other parts from another parts supplier.

We were coming through Rushville Indiana and our boat trailer tire was about to blow. We had a spare by not a jack. We stopped at O'Reilly, as it was the first Auto Store. We asked to just borrow a jack. They had a beat up one sitting in the front lobby, they said we had to purchase one. Called Advanced, they said come on down we got you covered. Showed up 2 minutes later. The manager had the garage door open waiting for us. Loaned us a jack and got us back on the road, over a Holiday weekend. I believe there name was Carenza and Stephanie! Thank You ladies!!

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.
