At 1234 collins blvd During Cody and Larry l's helped me configure the a/c caps on my mother's 2018 ford escape. It was tricky and frustrating until These two came along with the ultimate assist. They had to break out the big blue box of caps, with determination and perseverance the car still was stubborn. They ordered me the proper one and said when it gets delivered i can come pick up. 10/10 will go back to THIS location. (The other location in covington told me they do NOT assist anyone on their car during their shift.)

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.
