- MPmarco rios pitaJan 2, 20265.0Highly recommended ✅. I went with the intention of replacing my car battery that was almost gone. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they not only had batteries at excellent prices but also offered free installation. It was a freezing day, yet they performed the service (outdoors) efficiently and very quickly. The store is large and well-stocked, with ample parking, including accessible spaces and a ramp 🅿️♿. They accept all payment methods, offer online order pickup, and have a reward program (app). Well-deserved 5 stars.

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.
