- DMDelaware McDonnell4 days ago1.0Stopped by to pickup tuneup items needed before work so I can install tomorrow. A couple vehicles parked sideways getting detailed was first red flag. Went inside, stood at register for a bit then left. Disappointed is an understatement. Certainly hope employees vehicles are in pristine condition since it's a priority.
- BGBrett GDec 16, 20251.0Pretty sure battery is bad. Have battery tested, told it's good, just needs charge. A week later I drive for 8 hours because it "just needs a charge." End up stranded and buying a battery near where I'm stranded. Next time I'll test the battery for crank amps myself. Can't afford to trust anyone knows what they're doing these days.

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.
