- TFT. F. F.Dec 5, 20255.0Excellent, friendly, helpful service. Good prices too. Did a great job putting on new window wipers.
- DWDustin WalkerDec 3, 20251.0Buyer Beware: If you purchase a battery, in my case, an Optima blue top battery, they only recognize the original purchase, regardless of whether the battery has a 2-year warranty, you replace the battery every year (23,24,25), pay for the prorate difference, and purchase a different model of battery.

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.
