I had a very positive experience @ Advance Auto Parts and I would like to say, "Thanks", to the employees for having a wonderful smile and being a great help to me each time I was there. Thank you for the over all experience . I visited the store 3 times in 1 days and they were just as thoughtful and courteous each time and I will definitely go back and I have told lots of my friends how they helped me find what I needed and they even carried it for me to the checkout and to my car, because I am disabled ♿ and they extended a helpful hand to me. They made sure I didn't have any problems getting it to my car !!

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.
