Stopped in here to pick up a few things and the service far exceeded my expectations. As I walked in I was greeted by Shamel, who was friendly, knowledgeable, and really went the extra mile to ensure I had everything I needed. Thanks for making my visit enjoyable, Shamel. God bless you, sir.

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.
