- CSCritter SrNov 14, 20255.0Dr Meadows and his staff are excellent.
- SJSteven JacobSep 3, 20252.0Over priced. I found the part I needed online for a quarter of the price. Advance wanted 110$ and Amazon had the exact same part for 36$
- ABAndrew BinderAug 6, 20255.0The manager Andrew Trainer was a massive help to me! My wife's van broke down and when I brought it to the store he helped me look at it and new exactly what was wrong and helped me buy the right parts to fix it up quick. Then later I went back in and told him I needed a battery jumper for the van in case of emergencies and he helped me pick out a good one that my wife could use in dire situations. Was excellent service and very friendly staff all around

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.
