- TSTuriya SavasFeb 15, 20265.0Came into Advance Auto Parts with a steering issue and wasn’t sure exactly what I needed. Ronnie helped me out and made the whole process easy. He asked the right questions, checked the system carefully, and explained the options without trying to upsell me on stuff I didn’t need. What I appreciated most was that he double-checked fitment and made sure I had everything before I left. The store was busy, but Ronnie stayed calm, professional, and efficient the entire time. You can tell he actually knows cars and cares about getting customers the right part the first time. Because of him, I’ll be coming back to this location.

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.
