- RMR McCNov 8, 20255.0Mike was great help after a squirrel chewed through a wiring harness. He helped me eradicate the problem and find a solution to get me running. Thanka
- PMPaige MartinOct 24, 20253.0Called and my battery was under warranty lady on the phone said to come in and get it replaced. Came in and the guy at the counter kept saying I should buy a new battery because the warranty would be for longer…defeats the purpose of the current warranty getting me a new battery at no cost vs paying for a new battery to last just as long. Feel like this guy is trying to take advantage or swindle people into buying things they don’t need. Had an attitude and just kept repeating that my battery warranty for the one being replace would only be for 1 month and that I should buy a new one.

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.
