- CSConnor Sabine5 days ago5.0Tyler was amazing! Helped me change out my battery and clean my connection when I was in a pinch with family visiting and putting along on little to no juice! I’ll definitely be back any time I have battery issues or need other parts.
- RBRay BartetAug 27, 20261.0I was returning something that I bought from there at another advance Auto and they would not return it because they say they're separately owned and that their computers don't interact with each other such poor service I will never use this place again they telling me I have to go all the way back down to Colorado springs to return this which is a complete lie and if they are running a store like that corporate needs to know about it this is not good business I could go to AutoZone and return parts any place AutoZone once please contact me and give me a good reason why this is

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.
