We stopped by after I had car issues this evening and the gentleman that helped us was great. He tested the battery and alternator and even cleaned the terminals to make sure it runs smoothly until I can get to an auto repair shop. Thank you!

Really just felt apathy toward me as a customer at the Car Quest store. Went to Advance and it was a really nice experience. Worked with Chris Swenson and Kellie who answered some questions and genuinely seemed interested in helping. It was excellent customer service and human-to-human interaction. I hope Advance gives them a shout out! They deserve it. I’ll be back here next time I need an auto parts store and won’t step foot in Car Quest again.

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.
