- ARAriel RamirezOct 5, 20255.0Rob was very helpful recommending a reliable battery for my car, even though he was busy he still managed to put my needs first . Not Only does Advance auto parts does free battery testing, but also free installation, alternator, starter, testing, and loaner tool sets. The price was definitely worth paying than at an actual repair shop. Thank you!❤️
- FBFrank BagalaAug 16, 20255.0The Store Manager Leanna Rios is very professional and demonstrated true customer service during a recent visit to another Advance Auto parts store that she was supporting as interim manager. Leanna went the extra mile to keep me informed while my issue was resolved. Personal customer service is rare today, but Leanna demonstrated the highest commitment and accountability to helping me.

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.
