- AUA. Google UserJun 15, 20255.0Mark is the best! Mike’s helper rules! Go here, fix your car, be 😃
- MMMikeMay 27, 20252.0Bought wheel locks from them for one of my cars. Lost the key so went and bought 2 as I wasn’t sure which one I needed. Got home, figured it out and went back to return the wrong unopened one. They wouldn’t take it because they don’t allow keys to be returned. Very weird since it’s not like unique to one set. I was literally buying it to replace the lost one from the set. It’s things like this that make me almost happy to watch Amazon put these places out of business. Dumb policy.
- NANathaniel AndrewsMay 4, 20255.0Many many thanks to Matthew! Super knowledgeable and pointed me in the right direction for engine air filter and quality wiper blades. Appreciate him caring about the customers and their cars

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.
