- THTammy Haley-AdamsAug 16, 20255.0When I got out of work Saturday morning, my car was dead. I got a jump and was told to immediately get a battery. I went to two different businesses with no luck. When I got to Advance Auto Parts I was still skeptical. Bill T. came out a hero and took my old battery out in 2 secs and put in a new battery. You guys saved the day.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
