Do not order parts and if you do don’t expect them to be on time. They said they have no way of knowing where they are at and no way of calling the driver. Very poor customer service.

Darryl and Jeremy were great today! They quickly helped me with new wipers and pointed out a defect in my tire that allowed me to get it changed before things went south. Thanks again!!

Very helpful and knowledgeable. They had almost everything I needed and all of the essential items. They did find another Advance Auto Parts on the other side of town that had the missing item in stock. I didn't have time to go there but I appreciate the effort.

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.
