- JGJeremiah GreenDec 16, 20255.0The staff at this location was really helpful.
- MCMatthew CatoDec 14, 20255.0I don't even know where to start. Last night I had the most pleasant interaction with staff members Amanda and Lamont. These two really helped me out and gave me some solid direction on how to get out of the unfortunate mechanical situation I found myself in. From the moment I walked in Amanda was receptive and attentive to my problem(s) when I had no clue what to do, she maintained a "peachy" attitude throughout. Lamont's additional knowledge/expertise provided me with the solution I needed; an OG putting the young man on game. Happily to which I was able to get my 2010 F150 started in 10 degree weather at 8pm on December 13th, 2025. Thank you both so much, & God bless you.

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.
