- BLBrian LindgrenNov 25, 20251.0Was told they were to busy to check a battery and pretty much sent away. Should probably look into finding more help. They seemed very overwhelmed. I will bring my business elsewhere.
- RBrobert braySep 18, 20255.0Had a wonderful experience with Happie and Jason. They help me with a warranty claim on a radiator that was only 6 months old that was defective. They even helped me carry out 4 gallons of coolant.

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.
