I had a great experience at Advance Auto Parts! Everyone was incredibly friendly and helpful. They took the time to make sure I got the exact parts I needed for my car and even helped me with my license plate by putting it on for me. The customer service went above and beyond, and I really appreciated how kind and knowledgeable everyone was. It’s not often you find service like this anymore. Highly recommend!

Stopped in to buy a battery and the employee went above and beyond Logan H came out looked at. It said it needed to be installed by a professional. It was after hours, so nobody was open. He went ahead and did the install himself anyways it took a little longer than usual because they’re a fuse panel and circuitry mounted on top of the battery box. And he was friendly and in a good mood the entire time, even though it was frustrating

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.
