- BPBetty P5 days ago5.0Great customer service.
- AEArnold EatmonFeb 11, 20264.0They had the tool I needed, at a good price. Service was reasonably good, especially since it was nearly 9pm. I didn't realize this store closed at 9pm unlike nearby competitors that close at 10.
- CWC WeaverFeb 7, 20265.0Very helpful staff. I also found out that Advance has better warranties on items than similar auto part stores. Much appreciated.
- RSRichelle SelfFeb 3, 20265.0The people working on my car were very friendly and helpful. Weren’t too pushy on the upsells and honest about what my car actually needed. The oil change was quick and they even put air in my tires for me. Thank you!
- MFMargaret FrothinghamJan 13, 20265.0Djibril M. was at the register when I walked up and asked for help with replacement windshield wipers. He went above and beyond to help me. He looked up the make/model to fit, and after purchase, he stepped outside and showed me how to remove the old wipers and he replaced them with the new ones. Please commend Djibril M.

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.
