- JBJoyce Brigham5 days ago5.0The Advance Auto Parts store at Muddy Branch is always fully stocked with anything and everything you need for your vehicle. They look up an item you need quickly and either install it or sell it to you in a matter of minutes. I'm glad they are at this location. The sales people are the most courteous and respectful people.

- LILynne IgerFeb 12, 20265.0Came in for a battery replacement that I had called about in advance. In the freezing cold with the wind whipping, Hamed had it installed, even making a minor adjustment for a secure fit, in less than 15 minutes. I appreciate Hamed's great customer service!

A traditional lead/acid car battery can range between $60-$120. The difference in cost comes from a variety of things, like the size of the vehicle or any special requirements needed from the battery, i.e. an increased resistant to cold or hot climates. The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
