I was having issues at the gas station next door with a tire that wouldnt take air. I walked across the street and Paul was a great help! He came over to look at my car, and sold me a very inexpensive (less than $5) part to fix my tire valve stem. He even let me borrow his jack lift since mine wasn't easily accessible in the trunk. He checked in on me to make sure everything was good while I swapped the part. Best customer service I've ever had at an auto part store!

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.
