my car was having difficulty starting so i took it in for testing. larry was super helpful and very nice -- he tested my battery, starter and alternator as possible causes of the issue & helped install my new battery when we identified that as the cause, a very quick, efficient and knowledgable service!
i even had a weird situation where i misplaced my credit card but i had it saved in my phone so i did an online order for pick up even though i was in store and the advanced auto site was having a lot of issues and the staff was super patient with me while we waited for my order to process 10/10

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.
