I came here today in a panic because I am driving a friend's car and accidentally pulled several screws out of the mud flap on a curb as I was backing into a parking space. This car is my friend's "baby." So, I found the closest Advance Auto Parts I could to see if they could help me find screws and hopefully reattach the mud flap. Xavier went ABOVE AND BEYOND to first try to match the screws, which he did, and then to painstakingly reattach the whole mud flap! He then even went to the other mud flap and tightened all of the screws just to make sure! Xavier was patient and took his time (it was quite a pain to fit all of the screws where they needed to be); and everything is all back together now! I must say, I have had one of the worst weeks, and this mud flap thing was almost my last straw. Xavier was so kind and helpful, and I even asked if I could hug him at the end. It's amazing what a little kindness can do. Xavier needs to get a big raise! XAVIER, THANK YOU SO MUCH AGAIN FOR ALL OF YOUR HELP AND KINDNESS. You are truly one of a kind!

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.
