- GMGraeme MongerNov 24, 20255.0Joe and Chris were extremely helpful and nice.
- SWS. WillNov 5, 20253.0Came in to pick up a battery and have it installed. The guy that was helping me (didn’t get his name) wasn’t friendly and was seemingly annoyed prior to and after battery change. Nonetheless, battery was installed and my vehicle is working properly now, but that interaction alone was enough to make me not return for any reason.

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.
