I had the pleasure of crossing paths with Chris Angel at this store. Excellent customer experience. I was helping a family member get her car back to running after the last person who"helped" actually stole her battery. Angel helped me significantly with not only the battery, but finding replacements for the other missing parts. He's very proficient and friendly.... Go see him he knows his stuff! Advanced Auto, give this man a raise or bonus or whatever y'all do to recognize employees that go above and beyond for their customers! Thanks Angel, great meeting you!

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.
