Can to get my alternator tested and it was good so we tested the battery and they said it was a good battery now we came back another time and they still said it was a good battery so I was draining it. We went to battery tree and they replaced the battery. They said it was a bad battery. Never buying a battery from advance again

Came in with what was suspected a dead battery, Nick helped me not only confirm it was a bad battery, but helped me find one within my price range and installed it quickly and efficiently. He even took the extra step to make sure my radio codes were still operational. Great experience would rate higher if I could.

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.
