- BDBrian DimariaNov 9, 20255.0Christian was very knowledgeable and helpful hands on about an air filter issue I was having
- PRP RoseOct 18, 20255.0After watching a few YouTube videos, I felt confident enough that I can change the thermostat, heat sensors and a few other things on my son's Jeep. Not being the most handy person when it comes to cars I met with Don who was one of the most helpful customer service representatives I have ever dealt with. He was extremely patient, courteous, polite, and knowledgeable with his trade. Thanks to Don I was able to successfully complete the job and get my son's truck running again.. Advanced auto parts should be thankful to have an employee like Don working for their team..

- BABrianne AsciollaSep 25, 20255.0I went in there an hour before they closed and the gentleman who assisted me was so helpful and did not judge me because I'm a woman and buying oil for my car. He did not treat me like I didn't know what I was doing and very willing to look things up just to confirm I was doing everything right when I questioned it.

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.
