- BGBob GarchakNov 5, 20255.0Always top notch !!
- SAShahrukh AwanJun 15, 20255.0I had a pretty stressful situation on a long drive when the rubber on my windshield wipers came off during heavy rain. It was a safety issue, especially since we still had to drive all the way back to Maryland. I initially went to the AutoZone just a street over, assuming they could help. Not only did they charge more for the wipers, but when I asked for installation (which is typically part of their service), the woman working there bluntly told me they weren’t doing installs until I brought up the policy after purchasing and she said they do installations but cant because it was pouring outside. I totally understand that weather can make things tricky—but she was the only one in the store and just seemed uninterested and frankly rude about the whole situation. It didn’t feel like customer service at all. Frustrated, I called Advance Auto Parts and the experience was a complete 180. I spoke with someone before heading over, and by the time I arrived, they had my wipers ready to go. As soon as I paid, Ray and his team got them installed right away—in the same pouring rain. No complaints, just fast, friendly, and genuinely helpful service. On top of that, Advance charged me $10 less than AutoZone. Huge shoutout and thank you to Ray and the crew at Advance Auto Parts. You guys came through when it really mattered, and I’ll definitely be coming back to you first from now on.

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.
