Hoy por la tarde estuve en esta tienda 4380 SW 8th St.
Anteriormente busqué reseñas referentes al reciclaje de aceites usados y no encontré, por lo que llamé por la mañana preguntando si recepcionaban los aceites usados y muy amablemente atendieron a mis preguntas, por la tarde pasé para entregar el aceite usado y muy atentos los 2 muchachos me indicaron el lugar donde se tenía que depositar.
Comparto mi experiencia por si alguien no sabe que en esta tienda reciclan los aceites usados de vehículos y con una excelente atención. Se las recomiendo 100%.

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.
