- AMAnna McJenkinOct 8, 20235.0I was in need of some new wipers for my car. I don’t have a good experience with purchasing those at other auto part stores around town. I decided to stop by at the store on Skyland and hoped it was a positive experience. Tito greeted me instantly and was very quick to help. He was extremely friendly and nice. He went above and beyond to make sure my experience was great and easy. I’ll be back to continue purchasing from this location simply because of the great customer service Tito provided.

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.
