Absolutely atrocious customer service. From the beginning to the end, both people at the front desk were extremely unhelpful and rude through the entire process. Will absolutely never return to this store.

El mejor Advance que hay en Philadelphia es el de Allegheny. El cajero demasiado preocupado por resolver mi problema y a la vez me vendio todo lo que me hacía falta. Fui por unas simples baterías y terminé llendome con más de sway bar link rotor & ese empleado muy amable y respetuoso Rafael. Dios los bendiga a todos

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.
