Sarah is very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and helpful. I came into the store over the weekend to buy a new battery. She went out with me to put in the new battery. She noticed right away that the battery was under a year old. She told me where it was purchased and when. She was able to refund my money for the new battery. She also helped me with my "advanced" account. She was very patient and she treated me with respect. Thank you Sarah

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.
