- HDHaji Arsalan Dawran1 day ago5.0I recently had an outstanding experience at the Advance Auto Parts on Duke Street in Alexandria, VA, and it definitely deserves a five-star review. The moment I walked in, the staff greeted me warmly and were quick to offer help without being pushy. I had questions about a battery issue, and one of the employees took the time to explain the differences between several options and even checked my old battery to confirm the problem. They were patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely seemed to care about getting me the right part rather than just making a sale. The store was clean, well-organized, and fully stocked, so I found everything I needed in one trip. Overall, the customer service and professionalism at this location went above and beyond—I’ll definitely be coming back whenever my car needs any. Anushka santiago

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.
