- CHChris HarrisonNov 23, 20255.0I've had a couple very good experiences in here. The store manager (unsure of his name) is generally very helpful and seems to work with his team - a good leader. Yesterday, I went all around richmond looking for an obscure piece of hose for my truck that was no longer made. Needed a weird elbow on it that no store had. Gary took me around the store and helped me piece something together with things off the shelf and out of the back.
- JHJack HarrisonJul 25, 20251.0I have a commercial account and used to spend a lot of money here, however every time I use this store I get questioned about warranty or parts etc. very rude, i wonder why I’ve quit using this company! I’m done with advanced auto parts 👍

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.
