Kelly was amazing! She diagnosed the issue with my Ford Edge battery life(which was next to deceased😐 She looked up the replacement brands for my vehicle model with verification from Dakota her office assistant. Then proceed with confidence to replace my old battery with the new Die Hard brand. Kelly checked to insure it was working properly and sent me a very happy customer on her way. Thank You🫵🏾 Kelly for alleviating my concerns with possible problems later on a road trip at night.👍🏾 Barbara B.

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.
