- ERElizabeth RoblesMar 28, 20265.0I had a fantastic experience at Advance Auto on your Bandera Rd. location, Thanks to Joe! From the moment I walked in, he was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. He took the time to properly test my battery to confirm I actually needed a new one — rather than just trying to make a quick sale — which I really appreciated. Joe then walked me through my options and helped me find the best battery for my vehicle and budget. To top it all off, he installed it right there on the spot! That kind of service is rare these days. Joe went truly above and beyond, and I’ll definitely be coming back to this location for all my auto needs. Give this man a raise — he’s a great asset to your team!
- LBLisa BraddamFeb 21, 20265.0Our experience at Advance Auto Parts was exceptional! We were especially impressed with and appreciative of our team member, Joe V, who located the items we needed and performed our battery install with professionalism, friendliness, and efficiency.
- BABen AguilarFeb 16, 20265.0Jessica was such a blessing in helping me out with my purchases and getting my windshield wipers installed.
- MPMike PenaJan 23, 20265.0Excellent customer service. I will definitely continue to do business here.
- RSRozz SteelmanJan 14, 20265.0My experience every time visiting this location has been straightforward and full of kindness! As someone who isn’t too familiar with cars I’ve had no troubles getting assistance with all of my car needs over time, from a new windshield wiper to a replaced car fuse. Jorge was extremely helpful, assisted me with all of my questions and helped me to properly and smoothly locate and replace my car fuse when I noticed my charger no longer worked. He’s obviously very knowledgeable and was nothing but kind and helpful, my problem was fixed quickly! I would highly recommend this location as the staff is extremely kind and knowledgeable!

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.
