- TTTacomagen3D6 days ago5.0They have the parts I have needed and they have always been helpful. Much more helpful than Autozone down the road that sold me a Bosch wiper blade kit with attachments and none of them worked with my wife’s 21 Atlas R line wiper arm… The Autozone manager/worker down the street was unprofessional that I wanted to google the piece to make sure it would work with the vehicle that I didn’t have with me at the time. The gentleman at this store went above and beyond to make sure the unique adapter worked fine with the blade that I had purchased. A couple trips outside to my wife’s vehicle and we got it to work. I will only be going back to this Advanced 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.
