I had an outstanding experience at this Advance Auto Parts location thanks to Akilah, the store manager. From the moment I walked in, she greeted me with warmth and professionalism, making me feel like I was reconnecting with an old friend. Akilah is incredibly knowledgeable and took the time to answer all my questions, ensuring I left with the right parts and everything I needed.
Akilah's leadership is evident in her team, who share her passion and dedication to customer service. Their commitment to providing an exceptional experience for every customer is a testament to the store's values.
Despite having two closer AutoZone stores, I choose to drive the extra distance to this Advance Auto Parts location every time. The reason? Akilah and her team. They are a true asset to the Advance Auto brand, consistently going above and beyond. Their service is worth the extra miles.

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.
