- EFEdgar’s Films2 days ago1.0Worst advance store i ever been to. Hector was the worst employee ever. Rude and not helpful. He kept insisting to buy a new battery which my battery was a 24 and it clealy still had warranty. He denied to check warranty because he wanted me to buy a new battery. What kind of store does that. Never come here. Ps, went another store and wow i had 2 years left on the battery. This issue really needs to be addressed to a manager.

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.
