Absolutely wonderful, the employee Richardo was helpful and kind beyond words, he allowed us to borrow his OWN PERSONAL equipment to help diagnose my vehicle and he showed up to help us off the clock, there was no incentive or pay besides the kindness in his heart and to care for another, on top of all of his generosity he was extremely knowledgeable, intelligent, resourceful, kind, very funny too, he explained everything in a very understandable and concise manner, overall amazing experience that man was a blessing that day.

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.
