I have to give a 6-star shout out to the team working in the Advanced Auto store at 10529 Clayton Blvd., Clayton NC 27520. Today is the second time in as many years the people there diagnosed a car's electrical system and in so doing determined and fixed my problem. This time I was headed to the dealership to moan about what they likely messed up on my car a couple weeks previous. On my way I decided to stop at Advanced Auto first so I would be armed with some details when arriving at the dealership. Instead, they found the issue, fixed it, and charged me nothing even though I stated they should charge me something. Thank you. Great job!

I was having problems with my battery, and Chris was very helpful! He took the time to explain things as he was testing the battery. Although I ended up needing a new one, I now feel comfortable driving! Thanks Chris! 🙂

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.
