October 7th 2025 around 5:10 pm I called about a battery that I purchased at this advanced auto parts location. And the lady over the phone was talking back to me in a rude and aggressive manner. I've been a advanced Auto parts customer for years. This is the first time that I've experienced this for an Advanced auto parts employee. I was being polite. But for some strange reason she went off on me just like I'm her X boyfriend. I didn't feel like a customer.

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.
