I was on my way from work and I stopped at the advanced in North Kingston to find certain part for my blower motor and the employee Debbie was very helpful and called the store up in East Providence and they had an in stock and the staff was really helpful. Wouldn’t be on their way to find the part.

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.
