- SPStephanie PKAug 1, 20255.0Matt, the assistant manager is awesome!! We told him the problem we were having and he was so helpful. He is knowledgeable and friendly. He also honored the discount we showed him from online. We definitely recommend anyone to come here if they need help with their car!

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.
