- MLMason LeeJan 22, 20265.0Robbie was so helpful! I had gone to O’Reilly down the road prior and they were completely unhelpful and I ended up spending double. Robbie knew exactly what I needed and helped me get the best deal, even went out of his way with the installation!
- THtom hennessyDec 14, 20255.0I just want to let you know that I got 5 star service from Steven at your Folly road store on James Island in Charleston. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and was a big help. I would go there again if there was something I needed. Thank you. Tom

- JHJoy HuntingtonAug 19, 20215.0Went to Advance Auto with battery problems in my 2017 Toyota Camry. William, the young gentleman behind the counter was quick to offer to test my battery, my alternator and my starter and review the results with me. The good news was that my alternator was in great shape. My starter was showing signs of stress from the very bad battery! He found a suitable new battery replacement, took out my old battery, replaced the battery, cleaned the cables and attachments and made it look like new. He patiently answered my dozens of questions AND told me to come back anytime! I highly recommend Advance, but especially recommend William!

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.
