El sabado visité esta tienda, fui atendido por un empleado de nombre Alexander, quiero destacar su exelente atencion, llegue frustrado con mi problema de la bateria de mi carro, me miro y como si supiera como me sentia me dijo, " venga q su problema lo vamos a resolver " me fui satisfecho, empleados como el ya se encuentran poco, los lideres de esta compania deberian darle un reconocimiento. Gracias Alexander por tomar tu trabajo en serio.

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.
