- GMGreg MarcomSep 13, 20251.0Took a battery in for warranty replacement. I purchased a Diehard Gold at Stellhoen location last year, I did not keep receipt because they said it was in the system. Went to Lima location to get replacement and they couldn't do it. Said I would need to go to Stellhorn location since they can't see my purchase. So I had to go back to Stellhorn location and they were very helpful, unlike Lima Road location.

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.
