- HTHope TyskaNov 6, 20255.0Ben was so helpful in getting me set up for an oil change!
- KHKaitlin HayesSep 19, 20255.0I am sharing my gratitude for Carsen and Mike. These guys are so incredibly helpful and friendly. They went way, way above and beyond to help me the other day, I would have been stuck and had an expensive repair without their expertise and assistance. I do everything I can to get all my products and visits for auto products at this shop. Can’t recommend them enough - thanks guys!
- JSJay StraussAug 19, 20251.0Maybe out of business. No one answers the phone after calling three times.
- PCP CJul 19, 20255.0Incredible customer service from Rob and Wil! These two guys were running the store when I dropped off a loaner tool and came to pick up some wipers. Unbelievably friendly, just as knowledgeable, and without a doubt the best Advanced Auto Parts customer service I’ve ever experienced. It matters when you have guys like Rob and Wil who know every inch of their craft, even if it’s just to ask about Trico blades.

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.
