I went to two Advance Auto Parts locations yesterday and unfortunately, they did not have a rear wiper blade for my 2024 Hyundai Venue because it did not fit. I couldn't get it there so I went to NAPA Auto Parts and they certainly did not help and if they had, they would not install it for me and I vowed to never return to NAPA. I called the Hyundai dealer and they wanted $65.00 for just one rear wiper blade. I went to Amazon and purchased a rear wiper blade for $12.00. I went to Advance Auto Parts at the 211 South Mason Road in Katy, Texas and I told Josh and Bone about the situation and they did not hesitate and Josh installed my rear wiper blade with no problems. I am forever grateful and when I need a part for my car, I will go to Advance Auto Parts in Katy. Thank you for your help and I will spread the word regarding your help.

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.
