- ECErin ConnollyDec 12, 20255.0Staff is amazing and soo helpful!
- ACAlexander CarpenterSep 17, 20231.0I have tried several times to shop at this location and this location has failed to help due to the store closing without notice and not updating hours on the website or google. This visit I have done an online purchase and completed the transaction to show up at the door locked and a paper sign in marker that they are closed while the website and google has them open. Now I can not pick up my purchase till the next day they are open.

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.
