- SGSonia GarciaOct 29, 20255.0I needed a battery the guy at the counter was very helpful even help with some discounts and even got bk $26 for turning in my old battery good place to shop for car necessities
- DSDori SOct 12, 20255.0From Tennessee visiting family in Willow Springs, PA. On the Sunday I had to drive back, car battery died. Searched where to go to get a new batt and maybe have some help installing it. Of course Advance came up and I was so happy: they're the only auto parts shop I use in my little town! Got a jump to be able to get there, but knew the batt needed replacing. Andy was there and the ONLY person running the store. Explained he'd be able to help, but to be patient as purchasing customers also needed attending to -- no problem! He came across gruff at first, but that's just him needing to be clear and concise. He's actually a really nice and helpful guy! Got the batt installed and got me on my way in under half an hour *with* in-store customers needing help!

- JOJeremy OvertonAug 6, 20251.0Guy at the register was very rude and mouthy. I went to exchange my wiper blades with the warranty and none of them knew what to do and didn't care to help. Worst Advanced I have ever been to.

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.
