I went to the Market Street location in Wilmington and immediately received amazing service from the team workers there. Reese and Mera got me my products I needed right away and installed my battery for me right at the store and the whole process was smooth. I was back on the road in all under 30min and highly satisfied with my service. I recommend this store anytime for your car needs :)

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.
