Antwone, the manager, helped me out when a company forgot to put the skid plate on correctly after an oil change. I was on my way to work and pulled over after the front end fell off. He grabbed his lucky box and found a screw to help me out and helped zip tie it all for free. Helped me out of a bind big time. If you need good help and customer service come here.

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.
