- AJAddison Johnson5 days ago5.0Very nice people walked in the door and got help right away - Tony & Zein
- BRBoyd La RueNov 11, 20255.0Heather was great!! She should get employee of the month! She went well above and beyond to help my son and I get his Jeep battery replaced. Even when it was dark and kind of chilly out. She wanted no help and didn't complain once. She had a great personality, knowledge-found the right product and even made a special call back to help us out. I'd rate the experience 5 star!!

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.
