Top notch customer service! Cole and Lewis were extremely nice and personable. I came in to swap out my car battery, and they both installed it for me. Cole noticed my headlights were foggy and he cleaned them himself with a product I now plan to buy. Lewis offered my boyfriend and I a free energy drink because the store recently got a bunch for free. At the end, we all admired a beautiful sunset together that the storefront happens to see. 10/10 recommend tell your friends!

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.
