Avoid this location if you can! Found out they sold my mom and old battery that failed not even a year later so she couldn't get a refund. They can't even install wipers properly. Just so disappointed.

was there on monday 10/13. my van would not start..battery clamp etc. was not holding -- had to be towed there by aaa...Elvis was of tremendous help and managed to get it to hold...and i really appreciate it and i hope Mike reads this to know what a great job his people do...i am a regular customer and in fact was there to pick up a $30 order of other items. i'll be back soon, and it is personal service like this which puts shopping at advance way above ordering from amazon.

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.
