This place is terrible every time I go in there there is nobody in the front to help you out. Got bulbs for my car spent 50.00 buck found there the wrong one then found out that they don't take returns if package is open even tho there still brand new. So that piss me off and then they think I'm going to pay another 50 bucks in there store I said and went to O Reilly and got the bulb cheaper there. I never going to shop at advance auto anymore. Time is tuff now a day money wise I can't be throwing money away like that. I don't understand I can take stuff back to walmart and they still will take it even if it was open.

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.
