- GWGeoffrey WrightNov 10, 20255.0As a certified gear head, I spend more time in this store than I do at my own kitchen table. Seriously, I think the cashiers know my license plate number by heart. The staff here deserves a medal, specifically the one who patiently listened to me describe a left-handed widget for a completely obscure 1980s German car using only hand gestures and engine noises. I'm pretty sure his eyes glazed over slightly, but he still managed to find the exact specialty socket I needed for the job. It doesn't matter if I'm grabbing a $5 can of brake cleaner or dropping a small fortune on high-performance synthetic oil and a tool I’ll use exactly once; they are always helpful, knowledgeable, and fast. If you need parts for your daily driver, or if you're like me and your weekends involve questionable life choices under a lifted vehicle, this is the place to go. They keep my projects rolling—sometimes literally!

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.
