- TATammie ArmandNov 16, 20255.0Alex stayed past closing time to change two batteries on my truck when I was stranded on a Sunday evening. He didn’t complain and even took extreme care to clean all of the terminals. Anyone with a kid at Louisiana Tech needs to make sure Advanced Auto is where they go when they need something! Alex was a Godsend and I can’t thank him enough.

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.
