- CHChristian Holban6 days ago5.0Absolutely amazing, This storefront is one of if not the best advanced auto parts stores in Tampa. The manager Justin is a true professional and was extremely knowledgeable and well spoken
- SSSameerSep 10, 20255.0Genesis and the team were excellent and spent so much time helping recharge my battery (even though I didn’t buy it from them!) to see if it would work rather than them trying to make a quick sale. My battery was actually dead, and I opted to buy one from them of which I was patiently guided through the different options, tiers, and warranties. Couldn’t be more satisfied, excellent customer service!

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.
