- DOD OppaNov 9, 20255.0Catharina was super helpful and knowledgeable. I had a rough day with my Prius car battery.
- MWMark WalkerOct 23, 20253.0My biggest problem with Advance auto is their prices. I find them to higher than their competitors. A can of spray paint will be 15 bucks and the same can at Walmart is half of that. Always shop around and don't shop for convenience. I called about a head gasket set. They tell me they don't list one. Ok? Sure. I call OReallys and they had one in stock. Advance concerns itself with their commercial accounts. Those accounts get discounts so they can charge us more . So Advance charges us more. There commercial accounts charge us more. So either way we get the shaft. That's why I shop online. Most things are half as much and I get to look to make sure my parts are right . Cut out advance and their accounts. So that money stays in my pocket where it belongs. I've been doing this for forty years. No matter how sweet they screw you you are still getting screwed. Screw them first. Just feels right.
- MRmark roachOct 10, 20254.0I searched online for the exact fit parts for my 2015 Jeep Patriot. When I got to the store that listed 4 parts in stock, they only had 2. They did have a special bundle for oil and filter that saved me a few dollars. The manager and co-worker were friendly and she tried looking in several different places for the cabin air filter and drain plug gasket! One thing that stumped me was the ATF fluid was not stocked on the shelves. Walmart stocks a few on their shelves. Maybe they keep it in the back so you have to ask for it. The store was very clean and well lit! I will continue to check with the store for parts before going. Lesson learned! Gave 4 stars only because of friendly staff.

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.
