My dad and I (who lives 2 hrs away) came to them for help with a battery issue. They sold my dad a “new” battery which was NOT charged at all (over 250$ for NOTHING) Not professional when dealing with this issue and left is outside for us to deal with on our own. Tried calling back few day later about the issue and they claimed “we’re not mechanics” do NOT trust them to do any work on your car or purchase any part without checking it yourself unless you want more issues than you came with in the start.

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.
