They are totally not worth a womens time. They want me to take out not 1 but 2 bulbs out of my sons suv all because i got s warrenty on them. And the whole thing is a big joke.. no one drives a car without bulbs in it to ecchange them. And to top it off i had been given the wrong set the first time so 2 trips later i might get it done. But for real who drives a car with no bulbs in it?? And why dont they help me take them out?? If i was told this information ahead of time. I would have had cobin or jay come with me so they could take the bulbs out. Dumb if you ask me.

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.
