- DGDwayne GarwoodDec 10, 20255.0Jeremy did an awesome job finding the correct battery for my wife's car. I use a walker or cane to get around. When I arrived at the store, I called the store from the parking lot and he made it so that I did not have to get out of my car. Thank you for tremendous customer service .

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.
