- TAT AcresDec 5, 20255.0Arrived driving my F150 with a highly compromised battery which would not hold a charge. 20 minutes later Mr. Brian had the battery replaced and me back on the road. It doesn’t get better than that anywhere. Also the best price I could find on a matching three year warranty battery.

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.
