Beyond angry! My daughter’s car wouldn’t start at college when she was on her way to come home. Thankfully she had her battery charger because her parking lot is off campus in a small lot that is not populated. The next morning while home she took it to Advance Auto Parts on Atlanta Hwy in Alpharetta Hwy, they tested it, said it was “ok”. Fast forward 2 weeks and again, her car won’t start. This time it’s dark outside and my daughter is all alone.
I can’t wait to go to O’Reilly tomorrow morning for her new battery, and every time after.

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.
