- LKLaura KemnerJul 10, 20245.0Incredibly helpful and one of the best customer experiences we've had! We coasted into the parking lot with no brakes in a 1977 Ford 100. The manager came out to take a look and help us figure out the problem on a 90+ degree day. He put a rush order on the needed part, recommended a repair shop, and coordinated a tow truck. A lousy afternoon was turned into a memorable event that we continue to appreciate.

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.
