Super awesome fella named Joeseph saved my bacon and made sure they had marine grease for me when I got here.
In the middle of a job hours away from home! Nice fella, knowledgeable, and friendly. Advanced has some good employees, will definitely be back. Give Joeseph a raise!

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.
