I had a great experience at Advance Auto Parts thanks to Dennis! He was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and patient while helping me find the right parts for my car. He took the time to explain everything clearly and even gave me a few tips for installation. It’s not often you find someone who genuinely cares about customer service, but Dennis went above and beyond. Definitely one of the best experiences I’ve had at an auto parts store.

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.
