- HRHannah ReedSep 14, 20251.0I went in to the store today September 14th. The workers were messing around with air horns which was extremely loud. They never asked if we were needing any help. We went to exit and were told to have a good Easter. I did not find it a very professional.

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.
