- CWCindy WomackOct 18, 20255.0My son was having an issue with his battery light staying on. I was dreading having to take it to be checked out. When I walked in, I was greeted by Ashtin and immediately felt at ease as I explained my situation. Ashtin was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and thorough in explaining every part of the process in finding the issue. She made the experience less stressful since I know very little about cars or repairs. I felt respected as a person and appreciated as a customer. I’m so thankful for her help today and for giving me the name of someone respectable to help with the rest of my repairs. Hopefully I won’t have more car issues for a while, but if I do, this is who will get my business.

- PAPrincess AliSep 14, 20255.0Billy was wonderful and helpful
- JBJustin BuellSep 4, 20255.0Went in to test my alternator since the battery light was on in my van. Billy checked it and it read that it was normal. He then noticed the terminals appeared to be ones used for marine vehicles so I bought some new ones and after I changed them out the battery light doesn't come on.

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.
