I went to Advance Auto Parts on Penn, and Misty helped me find coolant. She explained what to look for on the container and how to put it in my car, all without making me feel stupid! She was so nice! I complained about my recent trouble with mechanics and asked her for local recommendations, which she happily provided. I'll definitely go back there if I need anything else!

Alexis was incredibly helpful in replacing my car battery. It's a BMW that requires a battery-registration process with specialized equipment, and he was able to deal with that too. This saved me over $100 from needing to purchase that equipment myself (BimmerLink app + compatible OBD2 adapter), and more than $200 vs having my local BMW shop do the work (Orr Autosport). Beforehand, I tested the battery to confirm it was bad and made sure it was easily accessible by removing the cover, and he took care of everything from there.

The type of battery also has an affect on the price whether it be a lead/acid, calcium, lithium-ion, deep-cycle.
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.
