This store is always very helpful with my Automotive DIY projects. This time around was no exception. My salesperson helped me straighten out an online purchase mishap or two, and she even made suggestions to make my life easier with the projects I was setting up.

Outstanding customer service! As a first-time customer purchasing auto parts, I received exceptional help from a young staff member. When I parked near the store to identify the part I needed, he listened attentively to my problem and resolved it within minutes. I'm very grateful for his assistance. I regret not getting his name to acknowledge him properly.

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.
