- JDJohn DonovanDec 30, 20255.0Ordered online it was ready it was ready in a half hour and my sales guy was a real pleasure and offered to put the parts on my car. Would recommend. A+ service
- MSMike SchrieferDec 19, 20255.0I've used this store many times as I've rebuilt and maintained my family's cars. One of the employees, Kirby has helped me on more than one occasion and I'll continue to use this store in the future, even though I've moved a few towns over.
- JCJulie CDec 9, 20251.0Poor service and rude when asked to install a battery when planning to purchase. There was a sign saying free battery installation and when asked the sales person said “its too cold” and was rude to my husband. Unfortunately they lost our purchase due to this response and a place down the street happily installed battery with purchase with great customer service. It matters to stay true to advertisement and to be kind.

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.
