- GCGary CarterAug 30, 20255.0I went in looking for a part, didn't know the name but I could describe it to the young man and he was very helpful in locating and acquiring the part that I needed.

- DHDanny HAug 12, 20255.0Honestly the only good part store left in Dover.
- HHH3LLZB3LLZJun 20, 20255.0We had to get a new transmission for the Lexus. We were charged a deposit for the core and used a cash app card to pay. We just brought the old core back and we're reimbursed the charge for the core and the funds were available immediately. We were in and out within 5 minutes each time. Excellent!

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.
