- PFPaul La FayetteNov 16, 20255.0Went to Advanced to get a new battery and Jason was a huge help with a tricky installation. All they had to do was sell a battery but he went the extra mile. Will definitely return for my auto needs.

- KCKyle CarterJun 14, 20251.0Short manager with glasses spends most of his shift outside smoking cigarettes when he’s not running off loyal customers. I highly recommend spending your hard earned money across the street at autozone instead.

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.
