- AGAllan Greig6 days ago1.0Just got off the phone with this store and the young guy on the line was rude and insulting. I literally was about to drop hundreds of dollars here but wanted to ask some clarifying questions. But after his sarcastic response I will take my money elsewhere.
- TMTara MonterossoJan 1, 20265.0Really helpful employees and had my order ready in 30 minutes. Thank you!
- SWSam WisniewskiDec 4, 20255.0Excellent service all around! The team member who assisted me was very friendly and helpful in installing my windshield wipers.
- JPJames PotterOct 24, 20255.0Jackson and the team are always super nice and helpful when I need anything!
- ESErnest StovallOct 8, 20255.0Very pleasant experience with the associate that checked me out. I had a question about whether I had bought the appropriate part online. He brought up my part and the alternate part suggested by advance online. He showed that I had purchased the correct one based on the information he had. It's always nice when someone's willing to go the extra distance instead of just checking me out.

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.
