- KMKim MacPhersonAug 1, 20255.0I was having car trouble on my way through Chester last night. I was driving alone and a bit distraught. I stopped at your store just before closing. Curt, one of your employees, quickly learned I needed an alternator and stressed that he did not feel my car would make it to my destination. Long story short, he and Mario located the alternator I would need, and suggested where I should take the car near by for the repair in the morning. My car wouldn’t start so I left it at the store. Curt asked Mario if it was against store policy to drive me to Richburg to drop me off at a hotel on his way home. He then offered to let me take a picture of his ID to share if it made me feel safer. When dropping me off he shared that he would hope someone would take care of his mother or sister if in need. Both Curt and Mario were extremely helpful particularly at closing time, logical and kind to a stranger clearly in need of help and in distress. I’m not sure what I would have done without their help. They are my heroes. Advance Auto has some wonderful employees working for them. Forever thankful, Kim King

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.
