- JBJ BNov 15, 20255.0I hope this makes it to the right people! Today 11-15-25 I stopped in around 9am due to an engine misfire in our Honda Odyssey while on the interstate. We live in Mcdonough and I did not have any tools. The crew this morning was BETTER than EXCEPTIONAL! Very willing to help, very welcoming, and didn't hesitate to call Jose across the street to lend a very needed hand! They had our coil pack and spark plug in stock.

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.
