- SDStacey DuffDec 19, 20251.0One star was lowest available. We pulled in the lot at 8:50 pm on a bitter cold night to get a battery. The workers had locked the front door & literally stood & stared at us while we tried to open the door. The red headed female employee whose possible ride was waiting outside in a white car must have been in too much of a hurry to worry about the economics of what pays her salary. We will NEVER purchase, endorse or any way patronize Advanced Auto parts again. Too bad for the company fleet too…that revenue loss may affect you more than just being a terrible selfish person one wintry night.
- AAAndrewDec 1, 20255.0Every advanced auto is always a great experience, this one especially. I spoke with Tony on the phone and he was informative, patient, and went above and beyond to help me. I will be recommending and visiting this store for any auto needs in the future

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.
