I needed a new battery for my 09 audi s5. The battery that was in the car was a wet one from 2023. My car actually requires a deep cycle agm battery. My car killed the wet battery. Advance auto explained the issue and got me the right battery.

Only go to advanced on Foxon rd east haven. They are the best at what they do. And they are very friendly too bad you can’t get the same discount in store that you get on the app.

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.
