These guys are consistently fast, friendly and polite, and they obviously keep a very high standard as far as customer service. They have excellent on-hand inventory, and very quick turn-around on shipping items. AAP is my "Go-To" one-stop source for local APs for my mobile repair, towing and hauling biz!

The employees at this store are so rude, the worst customer service experiences I've ever had. NAPA is so much better.

Joey at the W Patrick St location was so helpful. I’m not a huge car enthusiast but I needed to find a particular screw for my engine filter as I was concerned about having one missing. Joey offered to come take a look and was so helpful in helping me figure it out. So shout out to this location and Joey in particular for his help!

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.
