I did go to a different auto parts store and was totally ignored. So I just walked out and I have heard how good Advance Auto is, so I thought I'll give them a try. I was treated so wonderful there! The employee, his name was Dan , Right away greeted me and asked how he can help me! He was so helpful and friendly!! I will definitely be doing all my auto needs there from now on!! I am telling all my friends and family to go there to!

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.
