- TDT DFeb 16, 20192.0Depends on how you get I give 2 🌟 & that's for the 2 ppl there who know the job enough to work there. A couple have potential butt but they don't want to be working there. I actually purchased a set of pads on the cheap there & soon as I seen the box was old & tethered I know they wouldn't fit I'm thinking I'll bring them back if not. Well my back went out during a useless procedure & no big deal I ordered a much better set from Amazon for $13 literally half but that's besides the point. What led me up to deciding to give a 2 🌟 rating is the way I was treated for returning the wrong pads. I'll never walk in this place while the old Muslim guy & the manly looking lady with the braids are working again. I think this place should teach there employee's the limits of the business insurance before one of them cross a expensive line. Waiting a wopping 2 day's for the pads from Amazon to have the right ones without being treated like I was stealing. If someone fisicaly was to touch me I would have defended myself fisicaly & legally.

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.
