Shea & Leo are the best! Shea was sorting through some items that were going to be discarded and decided to bless me with a windshield wiper! She also recommended a really good wiper for the other side! Leo got my email all updated and was super kind and pleasant! Appreciate them both! & shout/out to Henry for working on my vehicle on his off day! The whole team is amazing 👏🏾

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.
