I went to Advance auto Sunday night Steve helped me very knowledgeable about my vehicle gave me a lot of great information and took his time to assess my Car battery issue told me to come back Monday morning to get it installed. Monday came I met James who took his time went over my battery issue with me told me my options and installed my new battery he was awesome. Felt great to go somewhere where they didn’t feel the need to take advantage of a lady trying to get things done. Great job guys I will be back in the future.

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.
