- LLLeah LandNov 11, 20255.0Absolutely amazing service. I called and Amy was nothing but informative and kind. I was able to identify the part I needed with help from her. And was able to fix my vehicle thanks to the outstanding service she provided. I would definitely recommend going in and asking for Amy. Also on unrelated note she was very kind to my special needs children and was very compassionate.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
