- RTRobert TimberlakeJan 6, 20261.0Went into the Farmville store to get a serpentine built and pully for my truck. Two people were behind the counter one was helping a customer and the other one looked like he was filling orders. When the first associate finished with his customer, he turned and walked to the back of the store. I sat there for a few more minutes and the second associate walking by still filling order's. After a few minutes of waiting with no one there to wait on me. I'd had enough and turned to walk out of the store. As I walked out i noticed the first associate was leaning against the wall, playing on his phone. I guess filling orders and playing on your phone or more important than a customer standing in the store. I do not believe that i will be shopping at the Farmville.Advance auto parts store anymore. I went across the street to Autozone and spent my money there. All of this took place on 6 Jan 26 between 8:15 and 8:30 PM.

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.
