Advance auto parts is my go-to for any car necessities! I have a fairly reliable car, but even this requires constant maintenance. I am always pleasantly greeted in a timely manner, along with assistance that is more than helpful every time. Jason has helped me on multiple occasions and offers detailed information on my automotive needs, always giving advice for what is best and many options for the fix!

I came into the store recently and was welcomed in with smiles. I've had battery issues and O'Reilly's and auto zone were not much help and seemed like I was a bother to them when i came in. After talking to Jason he helped me with my battery and was super friendly and didn't make me feel like I was bothering him by coming in for help. He's for sure a good addition to this store! I hope if I need anything else in the future he is working!

Hopped in for a battery but I suck with cars. Ask for Jason. He helped figure out what I needed, even though I'm not helpful.

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.
