The young men in this store have the patience of angels. I had one help me out while I was trying to figure out what part my husband needed, and they made sure I didn’t leave empty handed! This store had such a friendly environment.

I always have an amazing experience coming to this Advance store. You can tell they are all trained very well and they are all very nice and knowledgeable every single time! I highly recommend coming here for all of your car needs. This store manager is by far the best one i have met since i started coming here. With how busy everyone has been this holiday season, this store is still very put together and always so welcoming. I really appreciate places like this these days, as you may know we dont get that very much anymore.

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.
