Sunday morning my truck wouldn’t start. Jumped it and went to get the battery tested. Charlie tested and said it’s time for a new one. He quickly found the correct battery. I paid for it and within a minute he’s ready to change it. Took him about 5 mins and I was good to go. Thank you Charlie.

Never go here for a battery test. I was curious if I had a bad battery so I asked the dude at the front desk to do a battery test. He told me I have a bad battery and tried selling me one. I was about to buy one from AAA, before replacing it they tested my battery and said that my battery is perfectly fine and has no issues.

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.
