- GPGene PocketOct 14, 20255.0I had the pleasure of dealing with the general manager Roland at the store in Cranston on Atwood avenue. He was the most helpful and knowledgeable person that I’ve come in contact with in a long time I was desperate to fix my car. I needed a battery in an alternator in order to get to work in the morning and he gave me all the parts that I needed for the new alternator and the new battery at 5:15 PM. Returned with the job completed by 7:30 PM the same evening ready to go to work the next day. He not only helped me fix my car with his knowledge in expedited the parts for me, But he saved my job in my reputation in my workplace. Now this is worth writing about. I suggest if you need anything done to your vehicle that you come down and speak with Roland at the advanced auto parts on Atwood Avenue in Cranston, Rhode Island. He will never let you down..
- CBCharlotte BellOct 14, 20255.0Five stars all around! I had car trouble, which I believed to be a dead battery. For nearly 1 hour, Roland, the general manager attempted to trouble shoot my car's issues... in the pouring rain! He went above and beyond to assist me. The other employees were just as courteous and knowledgeable during my visit. Thanks again, Roland! Needles to say, I highly recommend this store.
- MRMelissa RizzoAug 21, 20255.0Hi. Roland the general manager at Advanced Auto is an angel. He helped me with a battery issue. Thank God for his help! 🙂🙏🙂 Hi. Again Roland @ store 8907 had went above and beyond his job title as general manager.. I had an issue with my battery until my alternator was replaced. Roland @ 8907 Atwood ave. Cranston lent me his spare winter battery which was one of the kindest things. Roland's battery being stronger than mine helped me get my son to an important Orthodontist and dentist appointment. I thank God for kind people like him. I pray ALL good things come his way! Thank you for your kindness and going above and beyond your job duties. 🙂🙏🙂

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.
