- JHJesse HauckFeb 7, 20265.0Every employee I've ever dealt with at this location is very helpful and nice. I don't know anything about working on vehicles, or how all the mechanics on engines and everything else in a vehicle works. These guys don't talk down to me or act a certain way because I don't know what I'm doing. I've had bad experiences at other auto parts stores because somehow me not knowing anything about cars makes me less of person, or it's funny to them, and I get talked to like I'm a child. Not this store though!! I've been shopping at this store for all my needs when it comes to my vehicles, or my families vehicles. My 17 year old daughter went in there for some help recently too and she was treated with so much respect, and they did everything they could to help her. She called me to tell me how nice everyone there was to her and how much she enjoyed her experience there. Thanks guys, I appreciate it!! This is the only auto parts store I shop at

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.
