Hadn’t been to this location in a while due to so-so experiences, but it seems to be under new management because I’ve had two 11/10 experiences back-to-back . Mainly thanks to the excellent service from a gentlemen named Steven - will definitely be back !

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.
