- SBSarah BlackOct 16, 20255.0Chelsea made my visit today incredibly easy! My battery died last night, and I needed a jump, but this morning my car started right up. Chelsea, with the best attitude, immediately came out to my car to run diagnostics. She determined that while it might not be necessary right now, it definitely would be before the winter cold hits. I decided to get a new battery installed today, and Chelsea took care of it promptly. Some of my connection cables weren’t in the best shape, but she did everything she could to ensure I wouldn’t be without power. Highly recommend Chelsea for her professionalism and positive attitude!

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.
