Jackob and Jennings were very patient with me for barely knowing what I needed myself and not only helped me find what I needed but also helped me with installation and I am so very grateful. I even asked for the wrong thing at first and was easily able to return it. I'm pretty clueless when it comes to what my car needs and they did not make me feel bad or stupid about it at all! (I may have gotten the second name wrong, I'm sorry sir)

So I asked Jamie K. if he could just look at my car. The a/c was blowing but not cold. Told him I changed several parts and did the freon already. He said we cant look at cars A/Cs. If we was to get caught it would be a 10,000$ fine. I told him I'm not asking u to mess with the freon. He said NO! This place sucks! Their lazy and way more expensive then Auto Zone. The Auto Zone but Walmart in Conover is fabulous!!! There's a young man there named Janson and he has no problem looking at things even if he doesn't know about it. He tries! The prices are better too. The one part I needed was 11.99 at Auto Zone and 23.99 at advanced. Bottom line stay away from advanced Auto! All of them!

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.
