- LDLouis DiscenzaJul 30, 20225.0I want to thank Trevor for his amazing customer service and product knowledge. Not only did he help set me up with exactly what I needed, I also watched him help an elderly couple that was ahead of me put air in their tires. He even went as far as showing me how I could get a rebate for the product I purchased. Overall, I cannot recommend this location highly enough.

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.
