Went by to have them read an error for my engine light. In a matter of fact way, he told me that, "Someone took apart our error reader and we don't know how to put it back together." He didn't apologize for that "someone" and just stared at me. How about get another one or get it fixed so you can serve your customers? Just a thought. Went across the street to Auto Zone where they were delighted to serve me with working equipment.

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.
