Battery went dead in a parking lot down Market St about 5700. Got a jump to get moving. Drove here and got a new battery installed in about 20 minutes. Was a Sunday evening around 6:00pm. Friendly, quick, knowledgeable staff. Wife had a similar occurrence a couple of months before wi tf h same results. Will return next time I need something for the, especially if on the weekend. There were at least 5 options in the area.

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.
