Advance Auto has restored my confidence in seeking assistance for my future vehicle needs. We were really in need of figuring out why my car was having trouble starting and their associate Ben Barnwell took time to explain what was needed and sold us everything we needed to get the vehicle running properly again. He was so patient to answer all my questions.
We haven’t had any difficulties with our vehicle since! Thank you Ben for your kindness, compassion and great customer service. You have made us return to shopping at Advance for our auto needs!

Used to be my go to place. Not so much anymore. The staff is not the same. The folks there have not been very helpful as of late, condescending, and seem especially uninterested in their jobs.

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.
