Very new and clean. The employees are sooo helpful and really go out of their way to try and help. They even had people that didn't work there but obviously knew the ones that did, and they even helped me. I don't know much about cars and they still knew what I was talking about!
Very good place for the ordinary or mechanically inclined like me. Lol

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.
