- SRsharita rouseNov 29, 20255.0Drove from Durham N.C. and saw that my head light was out. I was near Richmond so I Googled the nearest Advance Auto. Dont remember his name, but he was the little thin built guy working on 11/29 at about 6:30. He came out in the cold and fixed my light. I was so thankful.

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.
