- BWBlake WaddellAug 10, 20255.0This is my favorite Advance Auto in the area because they have all the tools out on the shelves and not behind the counter. As a professional mechanic and tool user who uses their DieHard brand of tools almost everyday it’s super convenient that I can just go in and look or buy at this location without having to go behind the counter to get a simple socket or wrench. I don’t mind going the extra few miles to this one to get stuff. I live closer to the Brambleton Avenue location but I’ve been going to the location on Electric Road since my family moved to the area about 23 years ago and back then this location was open 24 hours a day. I wish they were still open 24 hours a day but unfortunately that probably never will come back. I do wish their hours were a bit later though especially on Sunday because I’m a busy mechanic both at a shop and on the side and sometimes I need a part or something like fluids or anything late at night and can’t get it like I could in the old days. I miss going there at 2 and 3am sometimes with my dad to look around but good memories of an era in the past. I definitely recommend this location. This was also the location that we’d get parts from when I was in school down the road at Burton. So that’s why I like this location as well. So, if you’re listening Advance Auto please consider extending your business hours by an hour or two at least or at least at one location in the area. I have to drive to your competitor all the way across town on Williamson Road if it’s past 8 or 9 because they are open until 10 on some nights.

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.
