- TTTheRedShoeProject1 day ago5.0I went in to the store to buy replacement wipers for my car. Jason was the first to greet me, then went out of his way to give me the "run down" on wiper blades. It's not often people take the time to listen to you, inform you of your choices, then help you to purchase the right product for you. Not only that.. he was kind enough to install them for me! I really appreciated his kindness and professionalism. THANK YOU, JASON!

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.
