- ETElizabeth TrentNov 15, 20255.010/10 recommend this location!! We had a drained battery on an older car that they checked out and let us know it was still under warranty! Not many people nowadays try to find the solution for you instead of a profit/ their business. Great service, thank you guys!!

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.
