- ALaliuska osorio leyvaJul 18, 20255.0What a great service and great people at this shop! One of my family members was in Ohio and his car just stopped working. The battery was dead, so he was able to leave it charging and next day after testing one of the guys realized that the alternator was damaged, a new alternator was bought and installed while receiving great advice and recommendations. He doesn’t speak English at all but the stuff was very friendly and helpful! Very patient with him. Thanks a lot to all the team members, one of them was Mike. Well done guys you do a great job!

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.
