Great store with helpful employees! Was traveling and my battery light started to come on and had it checked turned out it was the alternator. Luckily they had one in stock for my vehicle. They were generous enough to let me burrow some tools to replace the alternator in the parking lot. A few hours of work I was back on the road. Thanks for the tools!!!

6 out of 5 stars, jeff and lonny saved our lives low key. My caliper bolts decided to disappear mid drive, and they were able to help us find parts and a solution on a saturday evening when nobody else was able to help. God bless.

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.
