- ADAllison DugganFeb 2, 20265.0Always my go-to place for my car needs. I stopped in yesterday as I had broken a windshield wiper that morning and everyone there was so friendly and helpful. They helped put the new wipers on my car and I was in and out in 10 minutes!
- BABrittany AshleyFeb 1, 20265.0My car was acting strange so I took it here to get the battery tested. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. One of the younger kids helped check my battery- he was respectful and polite and was able to hold a conversation. I ended up taking it back a few hours later to get new windshield wipers and another young kid helped me pick them out and install them. It was freezing outside and both of these employees were so friendly and didn’t make me feel like an inconvenience (like I’ve experienced at other places). I will definitely come back here anytime I need something for my car.
- KRKeisha RosarioJan 27, 20265.0Roland saved me and my car!! I went to auto zone and they didn’t know anything about what happened to my car they just kept giving me products to purchase and guessed what was wrong with my car but when I brought it to Advanced Auto parts on Atwood Roland was able to tell right away what the issue was and how to solve it. The customer service was amazing and my engine light immediately came off my dash as soon as Roland fixed the issue. I will forever trust Roland and will go to this place whenever my car has any troubles again. Thank you again Roland!!!!

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.
