I went in on Tuesday afternoon and bought headlight bulbs for my 2005 mustang got home went to put them on and realized they were the wrong ones so I took them back on Thursday to exchange them I also took a broken one with part number to ensure I got the right ones they not only argued with me about them being the right ones for my car they told me the wouldn't give my money back because they were open when they're the ones that gave me the wrong one to begin with. I took the to Advance in Winterville and had absolutely no trouble at all exchanging them so while I do not recommend this Advance in Ayden I fully recommend the Advance auto parts right up the hwy in Winterville

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
