I needed a MAF sensor and stopped in. Devon helped me to get what I needed with courtesy and professionalism. He even kindly tested my car to see the code to confirm what I was buying would remedy the situation. Definitely an asset to this store!!

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.
