I'm an senior female with a disability. Estoban, employee assisted me with testing my battery. He suggested that my alternator check as well. He explained and showed me that I did not need to spend two hundred plus for a new battery and emailed me a copy of the results. I was very pleased 😀
Wilson another employee that I've gotten to know, bought me chair to sit in because of herniated disk in my back and can't stand past 5-10 minutes. Their professional and knowledge 👏🏽 is why I continue to make Advance Auto my store for all my auto needs. Kudos to Mark - store Manager 👏🏽 👍🏼

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.
