- KSKrishna SudarshanAug 6, 20255.0I had a fantastic experience at Advance Auto Parts in Somerset! I went in because my car’s battery terminals were covered in copper sulfate corrosion, and I wasn’t sure what I needed. The staff was incredibly helpful—pointing me to the exact products and giving me clear advice on how to clean and service the battery. Thanks to their expert guidance, I was able to handle the issue, and my car now runs like new. The staff showed genuine interest, and I really appreciate their patience and knowledge. Five stars from me—thanks so much, guys! Highly recommended!

They didn’t rush me, they looked up what I needed and went and grabbed it for me! It didn’t stop there! Stan went to my car and assisted with that as well! Can’t say enough good about them! Thanks so much!

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.
