- MFMichael A FulkersonDec 8, 20255.0Had to purchase a battery late in the evening cold rain and spitting snow they was able to get with me right away to install a new battery very good service
- THTodd HullAug 19, 20255.0Michael at Advance Auto in Gray is awesome!!! I had a dead battery. I jumped it off and went by there. Battery was bad. Bought a new one and Michael put it on. When he took off the old one, I asked about the life. Come to find out, it was marked 2023- only 2 years old. Instead of telling me batteries sometimes don't last, and sending me on my way, he took me back in, looked up my purchase history, verified my 2023 purchase, promptly refunded me today's purchase and re-rung with the warranty info. He put the customer first. Michael made Advance a customer for life!
- KGKristen GramlichAug 12, 20255.0Awesome employees. Very helpful. We were greeted right away and asked what we needed help with. I forget her name but whoever the woman was that was working there 1st thing on Sunday morning - she's awesome.

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.
