- RORosemary OsterhusJun 2, 20255.0Today I had an outstanding customer service experience at Advance Auto in James City. Will helped me pick out a new gas cap for my vehicle which was showing an error code. I was helped with the diagnostics for free when my dealership was asking for $179 just for the diagnostic. I feel really helped and I really appreciate the politeness of the people who work there.

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.
