- JCJamie CreghanSep 27, 20252.0I told them I would like my battery tested and they said to “give me a moment to take care of these people behind you and I’ll be right out.” After 15 minutes my fiancé went in to remind them and the associate forgot we even asked to get anything tested. Once again were told they’d be right out. After another 15 minutes, we just decided to leave. Watching customer after customer that came in after us leave before us.

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.
