- DWDerron WilsonNov 10, 20255.0Very helpful
- MWmark williamsOct 31, 20255.0Friendly staff and they have what I need when I need it
- TSThat95chevy SilveradoAug 19, 20251.0Loved it with the old manager but this new one and these new workers have no idea what a 3ft pice of 1/16 fuel line is or a spark plug gapper, Heck they probably believe in muffler bearings and blinker fluid with there part intelligence and they think they know everything but they have no clue what they are talking about. They used to be my favorite part store but if you want quality parts for cheap and workers that know what there talking about go to Genes auto part

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.
