- NVNoel VoorheesOct 26, 20255.0Shane is a rockstar. So kind and so helpful. It was hard to find somebody to work on a Volkswagen on a Sunday. I believe this location was my six or seventh call of the day. He made a stressful situation, super easy and I appreciate that so much! He also had a very professional yet kind attitude. I hope he is valued at work.
- BCBen CrandallOct 23, 20255.0Best time ever buying a new battery! Rob was super helpful and his cheerful demeanor is still making me happy 30 minutes later
- HMHat McHatterJul 5, 20253.0The one over by the waterfront has nicer employees than the one on Wharton Avenue. The dude who helped me with my wiper blades just because he was bored and already doing someone else's so I didn't have to stand in the rain was both hilarious and helpful at the waterfront area store.

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.
