- TSTisha ShahJul 31, 20255.0Incredibly grateful for the wonderful service at this Advance Autoparts after an unexpected fix needed while driving through Emporia on a drive down to NC. Very kind and helpful!
- JLJay LeighJul 13, 20255.0Laura’s kindness can restore faith in humanity! Pulled up with a dead battery/alternator before the store even opened. Laura finished all of her opening duties & opened the store early to come out & be of assistance. A mechanic was called to help put it in & I was out of there within the hour. Laura deserves the world!

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.
