Brake Pads and Shoes

Brake pads and shoes are critical components of your vehicle's braking system that serve different roles. Brake pads are a part of the disc brake systems, primarily on the front wheels, where they clamp onto a rotor to create the friction needed to stop the vehicle. On the other hand, brake shoes are in drum brake systems, often on rear wheels, where they press outward against a rotating drum to slow the vehicle. Both brake pads and shoes require regular inspection and replacement so you can stay safe and quickly stop to avoid accidents.

If you're unsure of which part needs replacement or which one your vehicle model needs, reach out to Advance Auto's expert team. We offer a variety of brake pads and shoes — from ceramic to metallic — that may suit any vehicle. In particular, we store brands from Carquest and Bosch to Autopart Internation, just to name a few. We can also advise installing them so you don't have to spend hundreds of dollars paying your dealership to install the parts.

We can also deliver the part directly to your home, providing convenience when you need it the most. If you need help with your brake pad or shoes, call Advance Auto Parts today!
