- LMLauren MonroeAug 12, 20255.0In early June, I received standout customer service from Lynn at the Advanced Auto on Merrimon in Asheville (formerly Carquest). In my purchase of wiper blades, Lynn went above and beyond to support me in making the most informed decision for my circumstances. Greatly appreciate her time, attention, and commitment to authenticity.

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.
