I come here alot for my classic trucks. I had to order windshield wipers online as they don't have them in stock. They arrived in the mail. It's raining and the billy goat 🐐 looking guy declined to help me. My money is no good here anymore. Tell Tony he has poor customer service employees.

I have a loyal customer for a few years now and today I can tell you why. I needed a pully but it was oversized for the bolt Jesse (manager) from edinburg took it as a challenge and wasn't ready to disappoint me, he took the part and installed a bushing that made it fit. Not only do i appreciate what he did I will always go back there.

Very friendly service, helped me when I had a flat and were willing to help attach my spare tire as well as fix a flat can which did help solve why tire was flat as it was leaking out from the inside and leaked everywhere on the floor. Without that and they help to put on my spare tire I wouldn't be driving right now, thank you Mark the coolest manager from Advanced Auto Parts. This guy is the coolest n chillest dude I ever met.

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.
