- AHAbdullah Alsiddiq (Chikn hawk)4 days ago4.0Great customer service
- QJQuantynia JohnsonDec 22, 20251.0I came to get my battery tested. The male worker let me know it’ll be a minute because he didn’t feel like doing it. I sat in my car for 10-15 mins and he still hadn’t came out yet to test it. I had to go in and ask somebody else for help.Fletcher helped me out and he was so sweet and informed me of everything I needed to know

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.
