Highly recommend this location. I needed a new battery and David couldn’t have been more helpful. He was knowledgeable and kind. He quickly helped me pick out the correct part and installed it for me! Unfortunately I had to bring my toddler with me but David worked quickly and helped to ensure we had a good time while waiting. Will be back!

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.
