- TTThomas TownsendDec 16, 20204.0Typical auto parts store.. Nice staff. I went to Advance after NAPA refused to honor the lifetime warranty on an alternator I purchased from them 2 years ago. The bad alternator killed my battery. Instead of a free replacement, I payed $310 for an alternator and battery.

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.
