- JWJoJo WrightDec 3, 20255.0This morning I went into the shop to get a new car battery right around opening hours. The woman working was super helpful and kind! She identified the exact battery for my car and explained precisely the options that were available to purchase. She was more than willing to offer all the help she could and even installed the battery! Both herself and her coworker were upbeat and positive as they replaced the battery! I would definitely recommend this store and I will return if I have any future car troubles! The customer service was truly outstanding!

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.
