- CCCheyenneDec 24, 20251.0I wanted to take my son jet skiing for the jet ski that I bought him for Christmas, but the battery was dead so I googled the hours of this place and it clearly shows they’re open till 7 PM today Christmas Eve, when I got there at 4:02 PM The door was locked up tight and the people working there inside were staring at me through the glass doing nothing, kind of giggling me as I had my JetSki battery in my hand. Will never forget them, and will never be back-Good going management team for chasing away yet another customer.

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.
