- MPmarco rios pitaDec 16, 20255.0Me ayudaron mucho, la batería de mi carro estaba prácticamente en cero, pero en Google Maps vi una reseña de que este local no solo vende baterías, sino que también hace test gratuito. También aceptan compras online y pickups. La atención fue muy cordial, rápida y servicial. ✅️✨️ Definitivamente volveré pronto. El estacionamiento del centro comercial es amplio. 🅿️
- SLSebastian LopezDec 7, 20255.0I love visiting this store because everyone is so helpful, but I especially want to recognize the manager, Nick. He’s thorough, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable, with top-tier customer service. His understanding of the products and promotions always helps me save money. Im a beginner who just started to do my own basic mechanic work on my car, and it’s great to have an expert guide me to ensure I’m getting the best deals.

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.
