Tatum is so knowledgeable and helpful! I needed a battery for my car recently, I called all of the places in town and she was the only one that I didn't get a frigid/rude reception from. She helped me with the installation and even tested my starting system when it hesitated on the first start. She is awesome and as long as she is working there, I will not shop at any other part store if I can help it. 10/10!

We went in with what we thought was a starter problem. The gentleman there helped us diagnose what it really was and helped us out and save some money. We went to AutoZone first. They turned us away cuz their starter machine wasn't working. Will come to advance Auto from now on.

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.
