I just can't thank Oscar enough. He took the time to ensure I had the right headlight and then he installed it! It's not the first time he helped me out. The staff at the Carbondale Advance Auto have always been helpful but he goes above and beyond and I had to let you know how much it is appreciated. Give that man a raise! 😁

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.
