JrG and Tommy were very helpful! They answered my questions and assisted me. JrG took the time to explain how a product worked and helped me make an informed decision about what worked best for me and my vehicle. The service at this location is exemplary!

Salesperson Daniel was especially responsive immediately upon my entry, very effective in explanation on needs of my car and what would be helpful. He was very gracious and courteous in response to concerns and questions. Superbly and quickly replaced the part in my car. I will now use Advance Auto Parts from now on.

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.
