- JJJeremyDec 18, 20255.0Every single time I need a park for my vehicles, they always have it in stock. If there is a lifetime warranty on something, there's never no question, very reliable service because the part is always there, autozone ORiley's always have to order it. And they make you pay before you get it.
- AWAlexander WongDec 17, 20255.0Great store to get your auto parts
- JNJames NitzDec 16, 20251.0Horrible customer service, tried returning a part from a different location. Center road was closer than the 30 minute drive to the location I got the part from. The employee with glasses in a gray shirt told me I could not return the part I just bought to that location. When I returned the part to the original location the employee at the Bristol location told me I could of returned it to the store on center road.
- JJJasonNov 4, 20255.0I went here after first trying 2 other big chain auto parts stores. First two just said they didn't have my size wiper in stock. Advance said the same, but also looked further and said it was a special order part. It cost as low as the lowest price I found anywhere on the internet without having to pay shipping. Told me I could pick it up following day around noon! Very satisfied customer! Will shop here again!

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.
