- CACasey AnnJan 3, 20265.0Safraz was amazing! I’ve never been to this location and needed to install j hook wipers for the first time. He ensured I had the right sizes and then assisted me with the install. He also made sure I had an up to date account in the system for purchase history! My favorite part is he was kind and patient enough to teach me how to do it step for step so I can feel empowered to do it myself! Thank you Safraz, see you next time!

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.
