Sunday night I took my car to get looked at and spoke with Steve very knowledgeable and informative he gave me great information regarding my car battery advised me to come back Monday morning. Monday morning I spoke with James who took his time to assess the issue I was having with my car battery he gave me options on what I could do after I explained to him everything that was going on he helped me pick the best battery option and installed it on the spot. These two Men were awesome great work. Feels great when a lady can walk into a shop and get honest feedback and not just the old okie doke service. Thank you both for a job Well done.

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.
