Daniel, was so helpful he tried to replace a headlight for me and since he couldn't he suggested I go down the street to another auto full service company which replaced the bulb and charged a minimal fee. They too were wonderful. The company was CTO AUT0 ON RAND RD. PALATINE

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.
