Apparently these kids don't wanna work on the fourth of July... went for a car battery... without looking at it, they told me no, flat out no... they were open for another half hour.. it only takes 10 minutes to switch it out.. Raphael and the other dude were lazy and rude as hell. Ownership needs to do a sweep....

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
