- JGJames GelencserSep 16, 20251.0I would never buy hearts from the again better off getting parts out of a junkyard because that's what they sell junk brake products and you don't warranty their parts Sandy should talk to their suppliers about their defective right parts and the act like it's the customer's fault that their parts under the box are junk and they're junk from the factory and they should honor the warranty and take the time to figure out what the customer problems are instead of touching about a box yes I have an attitude with them only because they won't take the time can you find out what my problem is and try to solve it all I'm asking as they work with me after they took almost $500 of my money for junk I have a reason to have an attitude with them I'm not a bad person I am willing to work with them as long as they take the time to listen to me and try to figure out what my problem is
- MMMr. MacKelveyJun 26, 20255.0This past week I had a phenomenal interaction with General Manager Mark as he assisted me with my vehicle’s check engine light turning on. He assisted me in documenting the codes, finding the best fuel cleanser that he uses on his own vehicles, and resolved my issue with my O2 Sensors . Thanks, Mark!

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.
